Funny but I was thinking about that everytime I hit a rock yesterday. Yup this is why they all moved to Ohio.

I spent the weekend building stone steps up the embankment of the backyard. Our property has a large number of rocks everywhere and whenever I have done any digging, I inevitably hit a large stone somewhere. When I was digging the raised beds I ended up lining the outsides with stones from the beds instead of wood. I frequently had to resort to using a prybar to get the biggest ones out of the earth. So yesterday and today I took about 25 of the biggest flat stones and built a staircase. Hardest parts were when I would hit stones where I was trying to dig out to put the steps in. The other aggravating factor is that the lower part is very wet this time of year so the area I would dig would fill with water and muck. It was pretty fun yesterday with the COC day haowever. In terms of mulch, our town has a shed outside the transfer station. In the winter there is salted grit any resident can go and get. The other 4 months there is free mulch- mostly pine. I just go with about twenty containers and fill away. I did that a week or so ago on a day the dump was closed so it was quiet. It is a nice perk the town does.

but wait there's more... another 1.1 overnight 18.7 for the event now.

Looked like a little under 1.5 inches during the day today, 17.6 for the event

17.2 here after getting another 3.5 since 10:30 last night. Still snowing.

been ripping 4" since 7:30, 13.7 so far on the day

We caught enough of the 91 band that we are up to 5.5 inches in the 05055

this would seem to be an interesting run of the GFS

I just figured Mrs. Cold Miser finally saw his avatar history.

Ran into this article from an Anchorage paper about the storm. http://www.adn.com/2...at-western.html
