Talk about a legitimate excuse for missing work....if we could only get there to get snowed in. [smiley=laugh.gif]

I sure hope the carson and truckee doesn't get torn up when all melts....my poor trout! :o

My mind races away to places such as Tahoe when I can no longer deal with the pain. It makes for a good distraction when remembering fun times.

burrrrrr....

When I was in the Navy...I took a shipmate up on an offer to visit his home in the California Sierras. They had a weather forcast of "Snow Squalls". Well, I'm thinking Snow Squalls...it snows hard for a few minutes and you get an inch or two of snow...yeah right. There must of been 5 feet of snow.

One thing...they sure know how to clear the snow out quick. If we got 5 ft of snow, where I live...you'd be homebound for a week or two. ;;D
