Title: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by barry_sword on Dec 30th, 2007, 10:00am Would someone turn off the snow tap already? :o It has been almost non-stop all of December and more to come the next few days. I had to clear an exhaust vent so thought I would take a pic. It is actually quite beautiful with all the fresh snow. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7cc11b3127cceb3d14eae6b1800000026101AZtGrZu5asU Tony, no snowman today, wore out from shoveling! ;;D |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by brewcrew on Dec 30th, 2007, 10:10am Looks similar to our place, Barry. I think we've had something like 29" in December - the second snowiest Dec. on record for this city. Seems we get low pressure system and then we send it your way! Probably picks up some steam over the Great Lakes before you get it, though. Edited to add: P.S. - Buy a snowblower! |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by sandie99 on Dec 30th, 2007, 11:00am We could use some snow in here! It's all dark and gloomy and rainy. Tomorrow should be already colder and if we're lucky, we'll get some snow next week. :) Sanna |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by barry_sword on Dec 30th, 2007, 12:14pm Pat, great pics! Looks like we got about the same amount. Carol, you only have about 2 inches of snow? Well, come visit and we will get you and Bill to build a snowman! [smiley=laugh.gif] Sanna, here's hoping you get some snow for New years! If I had a way to send you some I would in a minute. ;;D I hear the plow coming again, so guess I had better get ready to do some more shoveling! The joy of living in a snowbelt area! ;;D |

Thanks Dennis. Angie and I are very careful as this is a very busy road. The pic does not show it but we are keeping the end banks as low as possible. Not easy with a car likes ours as it sits low. Winter has just begun! :o |

That is some nice snow. Ours has almost all melted but it starts again this week. I can't wait. We still haven't had more than a foot at a time.

I guess the polar icecaps are being redistributed onto my driveway. The only solution is for me to replace all my incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents. ;) |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by DonnaH_again on Dec 30th, 2007, 10:45pm I really would have liked a little of that white stuff on Christmas Eve!! That's the only time I miss it. |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by brewcrew on Dec 30th, 2007, 11:00pm Getting lots of snow is like travelling on business - it's only glamorous to those who don't deal with it all the time. Donna, you have it right - it'd be nice every once in awhile, on those special occasions. (Welcome back, by the way.) I'm sick of it already, and it's not even Jan. 1. |

Title: Re: Pic From My Roof Today! Post by ivanov on Dec 30th, 2007, 11:14pm Diary of a Demented Snow Shoveler December 8 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9 We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life! December 12 The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor. December 14 Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so. December 15 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all. December 16 Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel. December 17 Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room. December 20 Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying. December 22 Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the ass hole is lying. December 23 Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying. December 24 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow. December 25 Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave. December 26 Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves. December 27 Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes. December 28 Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!! December 29 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am? December 30 Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted. December 31 I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling. January 8 Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed? |

Thanks, Barry! :) Today was clearly colder in here, and I believe I saw little snowflakes coming down, but it wasn't cold enough for them to stay. Let's see what the New Year brings, if the news broadcasts are correct, tomorrow will be very, very cold day indeed (depending on who to believe: -15 to -30 C! :o). Sanna |
