March 26, 2008: A Bit of Spring Snow

Coign • Mar 25, 2008 1:43 pm
My friend up in the Great White north of Canada sent me this link and note.

Here a site that shows what it's like up here this year

You also need to know that we had 2 more 1-1.5 feet of snow storms afterwards...)

Man, forget that!

I'd be on the next train to Georgia.
Shawnee123 • Mar 25, 2008 4:20 pm
The midnight train? ;)

Yeah, now that's a lot of snow!

More evidence that God hates Canadians.

So why aren't there, like, a billion Canadians? I mean you can only watch so much cable and shovel just so much snow. Not much else to do....

Have you never heard of frozen embryos? :)

Send Al Gore up there. He'll have those snowdrifts melting in no time.

Either Bush did this or it is because of Global Warming. One of the two, I am sure.

You think Fonzie was from Canada, 'ey? 'Eeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy.:thumb:

Wonderful Eastern Canada. Makes me appreciate living in Vancouver that much more. We may get a lot of rain but the snow stays on the mountains.

Rather carry an umbrella than shovel snow any day...

85% of that snow can be traced directly back to middle management.

Anybody who'd put their car in those flimsy structures, is a damn fool.

It makes absolutely no sense to live anywhere in Canada that isn't a cave...with a hot spring.
TheMercenary • Mar 26, 2008 12:29 am
After living in Hawaii for 3 years we learned that it makes absolutely no sense to live anywhere it snows. :D
The 42 • Mar 26, 2008 1:33 am
Damn, I miss snow... Here we have two seasons: a brief chilly season between November and January, and from February till October blistering heat. Two inchs of snow and the entire country shuts down, even the areas without snow because everyone wants to go see it!

Seeing that reminds me of:

Tamarack, California
U.S. snowfall record for one month: 390 inches (32.5 feet) January 1911

Tamarack, California
U.S. seasonal snow depth record: 454 inches (37.8 feet) March 1911

I live in Vail, CO and I love snow. But even up here in the mountains where we get about 12-15 annually, we don't have to dig out of our houses.

Now granted a lot of that is becuase of buildings that are built in "wind tunnels" so you get the huge drifting but still, I would not want to stay somewhere where you have to dig a tunnel to get your car out in the morning. (P.S. I moved here from Duluth, MN but there we get more cold than snow and that just plain sucked.)
rupip • Mar 26, 2008 11:21 am
today I came to work a bit late and annoyed :greenface because I had to shovel the 30cm (1 foot) snow off my path and off to my car.

now seeing this I am thinking that this was a lovely early moning exercise... :D

It's hateful of you to say this and then not tell us what country you are in! Now be a good 42 and spill it!

I completely agree.

Judging from the amount of snow in that picture, I'd say I live about 20 feet down the road... We've officially broken the all-time snowfall record in my city this year, and I'm [B]sick of it.[/B]
That's why you'll see me outside spraying aeresol cans at the sky non-stop for the rest of my life.

That'll only make it worse....

global warming leads to more moisture in the atmosphere leads to more......

Suffice it to say I live a little bit north of Africa
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 27, 2008 6:12 am
I recently saw pictures of what appeared to be 6 inches, there.

Oh, that's what they tell you it is. It's usually only about 4 inches, IMHO.

And what's wrong with only four inches?:o
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 27, 2008 11:10 pm
Teamwork.... I've got the other two inches.
monster • Mar 27, 2008 11:47 pm
More Effing Snow here tonight. I love snow. This is the first time in 7 years i've admitted that I'm pretty much done with it f(or this year). If I have to shovel the shite in the morning, I'm gonna be really pissed.
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 28, 2008 12:04 am
Gather all the candles you can find and leave 'em burning in the driveway.
bullwinkle • Mar 30, 2008 7:18 pm
haha yeah my shed colapsed and its over 20 years old, I thought it could stand anything...guess I was wrong, I had to shovel my way of my drive way so that I could go skiing. Ironic Oui?

I thought about linking my photoblog for a IOTD but it is not interesting enough. But I will toss the link here since it is slightly related to this snow subject.

This is par for the course here in Vail. A beaver flooding my parking lot. Hit my link for my full story.

And some pics in case you don't want to visit the page.

(Note: I just got a call from a friend, he said my parking lot got deeper and that they closed off the road out of my units to try and clear out the water. I will have to head over there with the camera.)

And why is it a he? Because have you ever seen a female beaver? They look nothing like this.

Coign • Apr 1, 2008 12:46 am
OK so the beaver got worse. I will post pictures of damage that he did tomorrow as the picture of the day cause I think he tried to kill the humans.
