Gaylord Michigan hits 160 inches of snow this winter

Gaylord Michigan hits 160 inches of snow this winter

Weather Channel Features Wimpy Snow

It’s funny the people from the weather channel spend thousands and thousands of dollars to fly to areas around the U.S. to show 4 or five inches of snow. Most of the time it is 2 inches and they stand in front of a snowbank that is from a wheel loader. What a joke!! Today Deb took a picture of me standing on our street showing what real snowbanks look like on every street in our town. These snowbanks are not from a wheel loader stacking it but from the City Snowplow driver with a large front side plow. We’re now at 160 inches and that is no big deal but what is rare is not to have any days above 40 degrees in four months. The snow does settle some as it sets but I am not even standing on the road in the photo. It is kinda exciting to me to see these 6-foot snowbanks along every street. I have to give a pat on the back to the Gaylord City Snowplow Drivers this winter for doing a great job !!!

The Unimogs are busy blowing back banks so people can see at intersections.  The Unimog can blow the snow back 10 feet or farther to get it out of the way.

More snow and high winds for tonight. I say if it isn’t going to warm up then I might as well be having fun playing on my little tractors in the snow.
As much as I like snow once March gets here even I want it to warm up in the 40’s I still think we could hit 200 inches before it is done.

Have a great Wed. !!
