This is driving me absolutely nuts! Yesterday, we had nearly no snow left, our temperatures were rising.. etc. So this morning I wake up, and the snow is up past my ankles! and there are huge snow drifts in my driveway and such. So I wanted to take a picture and such for you guys, turned on my cam and went outside, went to take a picture and my cam died.. battery change did nothing, its completely dead.

Anyways

Tonight: 3-5 Inches more expected, with sleet! Very Happy

(A mix of snow and sleet this evening, changing to snow overnight. Snow will become heavy as gusty winds cause blowing and drifting. Low 26F. Winds E at 20 to 30 mph. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected.)

Tomorrow: 3-5 Inches
(Snow will be heavy at times. Gusty winds will create will create blizzard conditions, especially during the morning. High near 30F. Winds ENE at 20 to 30 mph. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected.)

Monday: 1-2 Inches
(Cloudy with some light snow. Low around 25F. Winds NE at 10 to 20 mph. 1 to 2 inches of snow expected.)

does it ever stop?

Maybe it was TSnerds fault?

Weather is very, very nice here. Lots of rain in the morning, but this afternoon was extrmely sunny. Didn't even need my thick coat.

@Radden

Since you can obviously barely leave the house, does this mean you'll - God forbid the thought - become a postwhore on 419Eater? Shocked

Hey, ever since I had my postcount frozen, the average has been sinking.

But I think you should know that 7 of those 8.97 are posts in the mod lounge concerning your bannimation. Twisted Evil

If I'm banned, you'd have to ban my other 18,000 user names that I have on here Wink

@standard - yeah it does suck, I had to shovel the entire drive way Sad

.. plus the snow was starting to get packy so it sucked even more. To add to this, my back was killing me Sad

Well, speaking of snow and stupid posts.... Very Happy

We have had several feet of snow each month since october. Every day the city plows the roads and trucks the snow away.

Today I went downtown to find that the city was trucking the snow back and dumping it on the road.

WTF??? The same snow they removed last week the dumped on the main street this week?????

Why? The answer will be revealed as soon as I can find my camera cord.... Very Happy

I'm sure that it made sense in the powerpoint presentation at the city planner's meeting.

@friday3, now you've discovered the secret. When your city hauls away its snow, where do you think it goes? On to the streets of a rival city, naturally (usually Winnipeg). Now it's your turn Smile

Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:46 am

Why did the city dump all the snow back in the centre of town??? They have a dogsled race going on..... could have told me, you should try driving downtown, those dogs have no respect for traffic laws (as seen below, dogs running a red light)...... Very Happy

Snow melts faster on the road than in a pile. I am sure that is the logical explanation. Oh, wait, you said the City did it... Shocked

Never mind... Laughing

Shoveled the driveway yesterday, right? Looked outside at around 9am and saw a snow drift PAST MY BUMPER, on my TRUCK.

When will this END?

I'll be back later, I have to go break my back once again...

Short break to postwhore....

I have a good 30-40 minutes left on the driveway.. but.. its starting to snow again.. just my luck! So.. once I shovel the driveway.. I'll probably have to start again Razz

You should have followed "the old man" and moved south. I feel for you. I remember "the good ol' days"

Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 1:18 am

There's a heavy snowstorm right now here. I have to wake up bright and early to shovel the driveway...

Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 1:27 am

It's been snowing here today. Windy and cold. Sucks. We're at 50% of precip for the winter, but I still hate snow. Funny, because I used to live at Tahoe and skiied 50 - 75 days a year. 24 years "burned" me out. Shoveling out from a 4 to 7 foot storm got to be a bit much. Shoveling is for kids, and I never had any. The hip replacements didn't help matters either. My step son broke his back 2 weeks ago at Heavenly slamming onto ice on a missed jump. Major surgery. He's OK though. I miss skiing, but not that much. I had my days in the backcountry and at the resorts. The wind just started screaming, the front just went through. Cold to follow. Mad

Here's our weather forecast;

It's dumping now, and starting to stick. Big sopping wet "dinner plate" flakes. The Box dogs are out back, geting covered with the slop. Should be a wonderful aroma once they come back inside. Rolling Eyes

More snow tomorrow, and later on this week...

Oh shit, I just spent 1 minute trying to figure out SP's sig. I understand it, but I've had too many beers and my brain just kept looping. I could tell it was happening but couldn't stop it. It was like having a blank stare fit.

Speaking of snow.......

My mom's husband (no, not harry bawls), lost control of his monte carlo on a road near my house.. and went into the ditch. Thankfully no damage done, and everybody was okay...

That was last night, by the way.

(ps: my mom, and my brother ((yes the one that broke his pelvis)) were in the car also.. My brother now thinks that vehicles hate him Laughing

- It was a soft slide into the ditch, so nothing was hurt)
