Let it snow....

[HerronScott]

All,

Here's what we woke up to this morning

Goes with the new snow theme of the forum!

Scott

 

[DrEntropy]

YIKES! My core temp is droppin' just LOOKIN' at that, Scott!!

 

[ekamm]

Looks awesome!

 

[Banjo]

and my aunt Veryl always braggs about how much warmer it tends to be in Staunton than it is here in the Fingerlakes!... Oh wait... We don't have much snow right now cause it's too durn cold!!!! ( optimal snow storm temp right around 30-32, our temps been in the low teens to mid 20s... Brrr)
Gotta get back down to visit her. That's a lovely town. enjoy the snow! looks like good packin!

 

[RJS]

Snow should be in CT any minute. Predicting a foot tonight! Just fired up and lubed the snow blower. Darn that grease gun is hard to pump at 25 degrees!

 

[HerronScott]

Banjo,

Your aunt is normally right! Last time we had snow like this was the "Blizzard" of 1995 and normally we don't get our relatively small amount of snow until January through March.

If it's going to be cold, I'd rather have some snow to go with it so I'm good here although it would be nice to get the roads plowed...

Nice - time for some power-slides I say!

 

[WedgeWorks]

I have 2 TR8s nestled away in the garage that when the garage door opens they cringe to see 24-inches of snow and it is still coming down. I wish I had an old Land Rover but my 2004 Jeep Wrangler works absolutely wonderful!

Was just out in it, it doesn't pack. It's dry and fluffy. My 30 year old snowblower, the one without all the safety stuff, blew it all away in less than an hour.

Tomorrow morning I will have to deal with the second half. <sigh>

Did mine three times today Steve... tomorrow as you say it will be done again. Where is spring?

On the far horizon, I'm afraid.

 

[DrEntropy]

I remember February cabin fever.

Those days are gone. If we had the resources it'd be Christmas in th' Bahamas.

Doc, "Shot 6 holes in the freezer"?

[DrEntropy]

Yup.

"I gotta go where there ain't any snow...

I gotta go where it's WARM!"

 

[Brosky]

It's 4:00AM and the wind woke me up. Now I can't go back to sleep. Looks like about 6-7 inches, less the drifting that is quickly happening. But it looks to be light and fluffy.

I will not be going out to verify that assumption.

Good night..........

Thank your Senator and Congressman for helping the Prez to pledge $100 Billion of your tax dollars annually to fight global warming!!! Looks really hot there in VA tonight.

 

[tdskip]

Hey Paul - no one ever said that the weather would only get hot. We're talking about changing weather / precipitation patterns. A good part of Europe is seriously worried about temperature <span style="text-decoration: underline">dropping</span> due to changes in ocean currents etc...

In any case - I love 'ya like a brother but isn't this a car forum?

 

[toysrrus]

Howdy Folks,

Being a North Eastern virtually all my life (NE PA) & Traveled all thru N.England; "I DON`T ENVY YOU FOLKS"!!

Doc; Its bright, clear Blue Skies and temps to be in the low 50s today & getting warmer as the wk. progress`.

You may want to consider moving to the "Up-State, SC" area!!

Have Fun Digging Folks,

Russ

The final tally here east of the Blue Ridge is 20 inches in my front yard. Our compatriots just over the Rockfish Gap in Waynesboro (about 25 miles east) got 30 inches! I hear the National Guard is still rescuing folks from stranded cars on I-81 and some of the side roads. Not good.

Road crews will have the main roads passable today or tomorrow, but the side streets are gnarly. The snow in front of my garage door is above the headlamps on my MINI! What's worse, the snow plow trucks piled a <span style="font-style: italic">mountain</span> of icy snow in front of my driveway, it's about 5 feet tall and will may take dynamite to clear away! :eeek:

The joys of wintertime, but very pretty I must say.

Twenty inches, a <span style="text-decoration: underline">record</span> snowfall for this area in the month of December. And, we have weather data that goes back to the early nineteenth century here, thanks to Thomas Jefferson who kept daily, meticulous records of temperature and weather conditions in the area (his house is about 8 miles from here as the crow flies).

Lotsa snow shovellin' in my future . . .The first photo is of my car last Thursday, in my driveway:

This photo was taken yesterday. About 5 more inches fell after this phto was taken:

Great before and after shot Mark. I think were about to get 24" of sunshine today and 71 degrees.
