This year we got is pretty good. We had about six different snows that were about 6-8 inches each. Then a few more that were about 2-3. I'd say on average we get about 4-5 total snows a year that actually end up sticking. It's funny how we get it here though. Because of the mountains, the storms will get stuck between the hills and mountains and dump snow here and five miles across the mountain, there won't be a thing...lol. Gotta love the mountains!

lucky... i love snow.... part of why i miss ohio... we use to have it every yr..

i loved the yr i bought my stang though... we had rain/snow/sleet mix all day every day for the week.. during the day its turn to a slushy rain.. then when the sun went down temps would drop again and freeze everything back over.. turned out roads into pure sheets of ice... i was working afternoon shifts and getting off at midnight.. so by then the roads were completely frozen... id go into the mall parking lot across the street from where i worked and just do doughnuts on the icey lot lol.. and being from the north id knew how to drive on the icy roads and was passing what little traffic that was out on the road like it was a perfectly sunny dry day...

That's funny! Yeah, when it even calls for snow here, there isn't a loaf of bread or gallon of milk left in any of the stores! These people are nuts. You'll see them buying two and three gallons of milk knowing there's no way they're going to use it all.
