Snow Job

[Gigi]

Ches! My condolences! This is early!


Karalyn, my birthday is October 1 and I've had snow a few times on that day. Minnesota gets it's share, too!

In fact, isn't Minnesota actually colder than Alaska? I think I've seen that somewhere.

Given all this, why the heck are we still here?!?

[Bob Pierce]

What's the problem. It's just an excuse to head down to sunny Florida a little earlier this year. I love to see my frends from the north country every winter.

Roger,I have just talked to my higher power and requested snow to go to your place

Geez Ches... It's 8pm here in Iowa, and I just finished mowing my GREEN lawn!!! Tomorrow I guess I'll take advantage of the 70* temps and wash my trailers...



'Course I won't be so peppy about being outdoors here along about mid-December...

It rarely snows here and when it does it's just a dusting.

There is more snow in your picture than I have seen in my whole life (and I'm 56 years old.)

[Gerry]

This is not nice to wake up too

And they say that Maine winters are Bad...
We won't see snow for another 2 months (maybe) but before it is all done in April we will have over 120 inches...that's 10 feet...Good thing it will melt and pack during winter or my Boler would be lost.

Not sure but, didn`t the Atlanta 500 car race get canceled a few years back because of a snow storm that went thru the South?......Benny

[Lorene W]

It did, Benny! But remember a snow storm here means one to two inches of accumulation. It rarely lasts till lunch time but is an occasion for school and other aspects of everyday life to come to a screeching halt.

Any weather forecast predicting the slightest possibility of such an event requires every citizen to rush to the grocery store immediately! There, we buy up all available milk, bread, batteries, Cheetos, etc. While we stand in line for forty-five minutes waiting to pay for it all, we discuss with the strangers next to us the chances of any snow actually materializing.

Now, an accumulation of three to five inches (which I, personally, have seen only once) is not called a snow storm. That, Benny, is called a blizzard!

Kurt beat me to it.

I was up at Green Valley Lake campground all weekend.

The dogs outside water dish was frozen solid both mornings.

(Don't worry, they were inside with Mom)

[Kurt & Ann K.]

Gina,
Just in jest, but Mom wasn't doing a very good job keeping everyone warm at Green Valley if the water dishes inside were frozen!

PS,
Going from "Nuestra Casita" to the house, in the morning, reminds me of "the old days" when the outhouse was our only "facility". For the benefit of those who might not know, during construction "Nuestra Casita" is still functioning as our bedroom but the house kitchen and bathroom are still functional.

I said OUTSIDE water dish! They have duplicates of everything, the rats. Inside and outside food dishes, water dishes, bedding, toys..ugh.

Mom was a good Mom. I broke the rule and let them IN the bed. I don't run the heater at nite at those elevations (7200) due to my bad breathing nite and the lower natural oxygen levels, aggrevated by a cat heater and two snoring dogs. It was windy, and my usual habit of having the window over my head open with heater on wasn't cutting it. The chill just whipped into the trailer. It was actually warmer to leave the heater off and the window closed.

The thermometer over my bed said 37. Obviously, outside it was below freezing.

My bedding is almost too warm, heater or no, and they were shivering. It took a bit for them to figure out it was OK, I actually had to coax them. The bedding was going in the wash today anyway. They were shivering so bad, how could I NOT let them in?

Let's hope they don't get used to it.

None of us woke up dead tho.

...Inside and outside food dishes, water dishes...

I have some flexible rubber buckets and other containers, bought from the local farm supply store, to use for water outside in the winter. I turn them over and jump on them to knock the ice out before refilling. If I needed this setup for camping, I would find another place to camp...

[Gina D.]

We don't care!

Thats why we have TRAILERS!!!!

SNOW!!!! Today was the first afternoon that one could work outside, as for the last few months it has been too HOT, here It was, for a change, pleasant weather, and lower humidity.
I want to be a "sunbird" so badly, and get away from the TX Summer sun !!

[Andrew Gibbens]

OK, I do live 5,000 miles east of Chester too.......
