It's been snowing here for 30 hrs. Didn't the ground hog say 6 more weeks of winter about 6 weeks ago?

A few weeks ago, I saw a report that the ski areas of N. Calif had over 500 inches of snow. They couldn't operate the ski lifts because some of the chairs were buried in the snow.

Can't believe the snow totals in the NE. We got a free pass on winter in northern Illinois this year, longest winter span of no measurable snowfall in recorded history. I was driving my 67 in mid-February for the first time ever.

I'm sure we will get hammered next year.

We got only rain out of that big storm but the roads are loaded with large amounts of salt now. Looks like NJ used EVERYTHING they had left all at once. I was driving through huge piles of salt today.
