Pictures? Get busy people. I WANT TO SEE SOME FRICKING SNOW!
Okay, I'm calm now. I was so excited to see snow falling while I was in Oklahoma in December and it lasted all of about 30 minutes.

Was it not snot-freezing cold last week? Of course, yesterday morning, waiting for the train, the WC was pretty bad, too!

Last week was brutal...so was yesterday.
I will say, the nice thing about snow is that it is visible proof that it has warmed up enough to snow.

I used to read these threads and think "Jeez, a couple of inches of snow, big deal."
Then I thought about it. I guess a couple of inches of snow down there is roughly equivalent to a couple of feet here. First, everyone loses their damn minds on the roads, and second you don't have snow removal that's ready to deal with anything meaningful.
So, anyhow, have fun. We got a couple of inches last night here, too.

It's not the snow that's the problem IMO . . . its the ice.

Maybe they were looking at the wrong side of the globe?
Well, we got more than a dusting - we got a little over 10" of snow by this morning. Yes Sooner Brat - is was a flickin blizzard!
Got out the snowblower, cleared the drive and walkway. All is good now, although they have not cleaned our cul de sac yet.....

Theres a cul-de-sac right across the road from me. The damn plows take all the snow from that way and push it up into my yard. My mailbox looks like its mounted on a pile of snow now.
:mad:
Putting the trash out this week will be interesting, mainly due to the fact that the driveway is hardly any wider than my car.
Trash day was today and it was fun!
I cleared out an area next to the drive for the trash and recycle bins. The garbage truck was having a difficult time trying to negotiate the street.
Also, a couple of years ago, a snow plow took out my mailbox and pole. The village replaced in a couple of days though.....
