March 26, 2008: A Bit of Spring Snow - Page 2

The 42 · 03-26-2008, 12:33 AM

Damn, I miss snow... Here we have two seasons: a brief chilly season between November and January, and from February till October blistering heat. Two inchs of snow and the entire country shuts down, even the areas without snow because everyone wants to go see it!

Seeing that reminds me of:

Tamarack, California
U.S. snowfall record for one month: 390 inches (32.5 feet) January 1911

Tamarack, California
U.S. seasonal snow depth record: 454 inches (37.8 feet) March 1911

I live in Vail, CO and I love snow. But even up here in the mountains where we get about 12-15 annually, we don't have to dig out of our houses.

Now granted a lot of that is becuase of buildings that are built in "wind tunnels" so you get the huge drifting but still, I would not want to stay somewhere where you have to dig a tunnel to get your car out in the morning. (P.S. I moved here from Duluth, MN but there we get more cold than snow and that just plain sucked.)

today I came to work a bit late and annoyed

because I had to shovel the 30cm (1 foot) snow off my path and off to my car.

now seeing this I am thinking that this was a lovely early moning exercise...

It's hateful of you to say this and then not tell us what country you are in! Now be a good 42 and spill it!

I completely agree.

Judging from the amount of snow in that picture, I'd say I live about 20 feet down the road... We've officially broken the all-time snowfall record in my city this year, and I'm sick of it.
That's why you'll see me outside spraying aeresol cans at the sky non-stop for the rest of my life.

That'll only make it worse....

global warming leads to more moisture in the atmosphere leads to more......

Suffice it to say I live a little bit north of Africa

I recently saw pictures of what appeared to be 6 inches, there.

Oh, that's what they tell you it is. It's usually only about 4 inches, IMHO.

And what's wrong with only four inches?

xoxoxoBruce · 03-27-2008, 10:10 PM

Teamwork.... I've got the other two inches.

More Effing Snow here tonight. I love snow. This is the first time in 7 years i've admitted that I'm pretty much done with it f(or this year). If I have to shovel the shite in the morning, I'm gonna be really pissed.

Gather all the candles you can find and leave 'em burning in the driveway.
