You sure you don't want any snow?

I hope that's a drift they are cutting through!

I have 250 grapevines ordered from Double A Vineyards in New York...I wonder how much snow they're under, and if they'll ship on time.
That's a lot of snow! One winter when I lived in Maine we had snow drift over the house to where you couldn't see it at all. I moved in January further North to Bath, Maine, and found I had a building, a shed about 8 ft tall, in my front yard that I didn't know about when I moved in. I think your snow's deeper!

Thats a lot of grapes! Do you have your own label? What varieties?

Toney, Awsome picture but,,,,,,,,,,,, y'll keep that up there ya hear!
Can't imagine that much snow. Around here our annual snow fall is 9 inches. last Nov the 15 inches that hit use here pretty well shut the area down for a couple days. Then the ICE strom that ripped through here and went on to play games with Lynn in Jay Ok, then Garon in Springfield and then on up to Nancy G in gerald Mo and I guess on in to the other states.
Thank you for the offer, but no thanks, you keep the snow.

Have seen that much snow on Mt Lassen in California, drove through a cut path like that with snow about 15 high or more on each side...not blown snow, that much everywhere! The Sierras get it deep too.. We didn't get that much at the 8500 ft level in the rockies!

Wow! We've had that much back in '72-'73, but not since, and You Are Welcome To It! Hopefully you won't ever get hit like that again, either.

I've looked at these photos three times and haven't posted because they leave me with this horrendous fear in the pit of my tummy ....AH!

Mike wants to know if the top of the telephone poles stick out of the snow? How did they and even did they actually find the road????

I know that when I lived in Idaho they had poles on the side of the road that were about 12' high to mark the edges.

The area pictured is well known for snow (not usually this much) so they must have a handle on where the roadway is located.
I know that at the college up there they tie ropes between the building much the way farmers tied ropes between their homes and barns just to find there way. But other pictures I've seen showed a guy shoveling his roof, but the snow was piled up to the rafters...OUCH!!

The weather up here is somewhat tempering as we have gone above freezing for the first time in a while, not comes the flood watches...

Paul,
It's just a hobby vineyard. I've got a market for the grapes at the local Amish Produce Auction, so what I don't use to make wine or eat, juice or raisin, I'll sell there.
I've planted 75 last Spring and have 250 coming this Spring...I'll have about 25 varieties...with 81 vines being Cynthianna (Norton), "the Cabernet of the Ozarks".
I just like to watch them grow! They're so prolific that you can't help but feel like you have a green thumb watching them grow!
