Last night we finally got a good old fashioned snow dump,after a relatively snowless winter. My wife and I spent 2 hours today shovelling out the car and front and rear decks and still had to pay someone to come and plow the driveway.Although we only got about 8" of snow,it was powdery and that combined with the fairly high winds caused some drifting with drifts up to 2' deep.Back in 2003 we had one snowfall of over 40" and that was a bit of trouble to get shoveled away.They are forecasting snow flurries for just about the whole week so I guess our winter has finally started.

By the post title, first thought was, "urgent gastric distress."

media hyped the snow storm
we got hit.... but we have seen worse

thank god our mayor didn't call the army in!

I am so glad I live in So-Cal. It was 72 today.

Powdery snow helps. that 8" we got last week was wet and heavy. I remember this time last year we were getting ready for the blizzard on the 5th where we got 36inches then the second blizzard on the 9th. gave us another 26inches and 50 plus mph winds. Wont forget that dumping for a long time to come. Piles of snow over top street signs, no where to even put the stuff. We went a week before even seeing a plow then loaders were placing snow mountains on the lawns at intersections.

I knew when I was printing the title to this thread that someone would think I was referring to "Taking the Brown's to the Superbowl".The thing is that we can't use a snowblower in our driveway as it is unpaved and covered in crushed stone so a snowblowers impellers would be ruined in a couple of minutes.We also live 1 mile from the main road so there's no teenagers going around here looking for shoveling jobs-life can be tough living in the boonies.We've had several 4X4s over the years but regrettably don't have one now but our next vehicle will definitely be a 4X4 truck.

Great news. Prune juice sure gets the job done.

Thanks for sharing - C

But now I see you is talking about the weather.

Q: You do know you can move, right?

Jeffytune,Bill Gates doesn't have enough money to entice me from here.I live 200' from the North Atlantic and from our front deck we have a commanding view of the icebergs and whales in the summer and Bird Island-the world's largest seabird sanctuary-year round.Plus The National Geographic Society just designated our area as the top coastal region in the world for flora and fauna and landscape.So a bit of snotty weather is a minor inconvienence compared to all the benefits of living here.

So, do you live on the rock or the mainland?


It's that were the Titanic went down?
