Title: Gotta love winter.... Post by Redd715 on Dec 21st, 2004, 8:17am I'm going to have to call in absent to work today. Not due to the flu, or to the ole' head, but because I can't get out of my freaking parking lot!!! It's almost as if the weather Goddess decided I needed a mental health day and puts enough snow down overnight that I can't even back out of my parking space without the tires spinning, let a lone try to break threw the blockade at the end of the driveway left by the city plows. Just great huh? Let it snow ...Let it snow... Let it snow???? |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by Melissa on Dec 21st, 2004, 8:25am hahaha, what'd you get in town? we got 7 inches out here, and now it's freakin snowing again. ::) I just watched Lily get on the bus, I wonder if school will get out early again today, like it did yesterday for her. Our snowblower is shot, seems as if a mouse nest got built in it, and might have chewed up the wiring. Hubby had to ask his brother to plow us out. Supposed to get 2 more inches! THEN whattya gonna do? LOL ;;D |

Depends on what end of town you are in Mel. I would have to say a good 8-9 inches here so far. Can we say this gives a new meaning to the words...Slip and Slide. |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by BobG on Dec 21st, 2004, 8:54am Redd, my grandaughter lives in Stevens Point. She's from the desert and it's only her second year up there. She hated her first winter there. I'll have to call her and see what she thinks about the snow. |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by Melissa on Dec 21st, 2004, 8:55am Went out in my jammies and took a pic of the dump. Looks like the smurfs were here spreading their cheer... http://forum.lowcarber.org/gallery/data/500/35956snow.jpg The blue fog you see, is more snow falling. Don't know why my camera started taking blue pictures, I guess it can't handle too much white, lol. Fa la la la la, la la la la... 8) p.s. Stevens Point is my hometown, born N raised. Used to live on College Ave, 2 blocks from the University.:) |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by BruceD on Dec 21st, 2004, 11:10am No fair!!! Being 2 hrs south of ya Redd means we got nothin' ... nada ... zilch in the way of snow. (Well actually just a dusting overnight, but that's gone already) Not that it matters anyway, I don't have time this week to go outside & play ... it's Christmas cheesecake time at our house. :) Later BruceD |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by nani on Dec 21st, 2004, 11:33am Beautiful pics, mel. Almost makes me miss a real winter. When it snows here, it melts within hours. Then I think about Pegg having to dig the car out and I think... I LOVE THE SUNBELT! My kids would sure have a blast in it... the only snowmen they've made this year were only about a foot tall. :-/ |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by TomM on Dec 21st, 2004, 11:48am Great pics, Mel. I love pictures of snow. Consider switching your digital to B&W. The Contrast is sooo much better, IMHO. [Right Paul?] Redd--the great thing about shoveling snow in my neck of the woods is it becomes a neighbor thing. We all pitch in and help each other....then we have beers in front of the fire place...maybe play some scrabble. |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by cschick on Dec 21st, 2004, 1:00pm Mel- those pictures make me nostalgic for home. Northern lllinois will always be home to me.....I miss the damn snow. We are supposed to get 1-3 inches starting late this afternoon/tonight, so because our weathermen are morons, that means either NO snow or 9-12 inches - I am hoping for the latter - Colin is so excited about the prospect of a little white stuff! |

Maybe someone else have more insite to this. to add: Wisconsin No Nov. 15 - April 1 Studded tires are allowed on authorized emergency vehicles, vehicles used to deliver mail, and school buses.

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by stevek on Dec 22nd, 2004, 2:00pm I love the snow pictures. As a kid I wished I lived where it snowed but now I’m much too old to adjust to cold weather. At least it gets cold at night here but the daytime 70F weather just doesn’t seem like the proper Christmas picture. Oh well, there is a nice NW swell coming so I guess it will be surfing on Christmas again. |

Title: Re: Gotta love winter.... Post by marlin on Dec 22nd, 2004, 2:45pm Really nice pics mel!!! I miss the snow, especially at Christmas. Had more than my share growing up and again for a few years in MI. Wish my kid could wake up to a white Christmas in her own house. Oh well, instead of shovelling snow I'll shovel dog shit. At least myback won't hurt and toes won't get cold. |
