As I mentioned in one of Posthole's posts, Sunday night started off with rain which after a couple of hours turned to snow at about 10 PM. The snow kept on coming and coming and coming and did not end until yesterday afternoon. The official Bismarck total was 18.7" at the airport but there are numerous reports around town of up to 21". Given our total snowfall last winter was a bit shy of 25" this was quite the event.
Though I don't mind the snow, it is pretty disheartening to spend a couple of hours shoveling, snowplowing, and bucking snow with the tractor only to find it looks like you didn't do anything as the snow is falling so fast. Kind of like digging a hole in dry sand, you can make some progress but not without a fair amount of effort.
Needless to say, I'm glad the snow has stopped for a while.
