got about 3 feet of the pristine stuff yesterday and last night; supposed to be up to 6" more today and after a few days reprieve, "the freezing rain"... sounds sort of like Monty Python...

Good thing you have power.

I hope we hear from Thief and the other folks on the coast. You shouldn't have these 100 year storms twice in year. Gotta talk to someone about that.

Oh I am having a blast.. love snow..... windy as stink and all my guys are tied to the dock so - time for more shoveling then a cider!!!!
Love flying in light snow too....that is not happening yet though.

I am the world's worst Norwegian. Hate the cold, I  grew up in Vegas in the middle of the Mojave desert.

The only snow i like is in pictures.

I have lived in snow and winter for over 40 years, it does get old.

Unlike Wayne, I also like snow in movies or nearby mountaintops.

I think the last time I enjoyed snow there was no car involved.  You put away the motorcycle for the season and either walked or took the bus where you needed to go. 

Highlights always included crunching through pristine glazed snow fields with creepers and gaiters.... oh and crab sledding (no relation to the training equipment used for football) down hills with smooth soled motorcross boots and beat up Army surplus gloves... we didn't need no stinkin' sleds.

I love snow, just not all at once.

[Zeke]

...and then the rain took out about half of the snow.... seems like we're getting the blizzard and spring thaw all in the same week...

It's the computer age. Things are faster now, doncha know?

[thief]

yeah up here with our day of rain yesterday and warming sun we are losing this quickly! it was 35 when i got up this morning........I can actually see the pups in their yard trails!

[Zeke]

Computer age, yeah, I am familiar with it.  Went by so fast I only caught a glimpse.   

Little doggie looks familiar...bigger than the ones in my neighborhood, glad there is only 2 of them...


So a blizzard one day and heavy rains a couple days later, tornado in MS, don't recall weather this weird.  Even the blizzard of 78 built up to something and hung around for a while which was sort of how I recall winter weather.  It got cold and the snow built up a bit or a foot at a time then gradually melted.    Someone is going to have to go back over that 'computer age' bit and check the program as I think there may be a corrupted line of script somewhere.....

Wish you folks would stop using that dirty four letter "S" word!   

[madhabitz]

Short dog alert!  How cute is that?

[Zeke]

okay, I give, no more use of the dirty 'S' word although by now it is indeed' dirty',  from sand, salt, and short dog contributions.....
