new snow today

Yesterday I had planned to go to my shop and take off my studded tires and put on my summer rubber. But it was pretty cold and blowing like hell so I put it off. Today I woke up to an inch of new snow. It's coming up on noon, I just went out an shovelled 3 inches off my driveway and accumulated a half inch on my Stetson in the process. Right now, it looks like a blizzard out there.

Doesn't old man winter have a calander?

Bdox....... 6500ft elev at Lake Tahoe, easter sunday!

i hope you don't think i'm an s.o.b. but i'm glad you are getting it as opposed to being here! we had enough crap this winter. it's april and i look foward to un-wrapping the boat. i hope it ends soon for you dude, but i hate winter & i'm kinda glad it's out your way as opposed to here. i'm just being as honest as i can

As tired of the snow as I was, I think I would trade it for the tornadoes we've been having once a week for the past four weeks.

I feel for ya though, I know what it's like anticipating some warm weather and then getting another cold spell!

I wonder if those two little Latin kids are responsible for this weather we're having. El Nino & La Nina. (kidding)

There was actually sunshine here for about 20 minutes.

Bdox, I heard that it had snowed in your area.

Weird weather, I must say.

I almost slipped on an ice cube somebody dropped on the pool deck today if that makes you feel any better. Luckily its 85 and the ice melted before causing a real problem.

Sorry. Had to rub it in.

Actually, its been quite a mild winter for me in Lethbridge for university right now, coldest it got was about -20C, maybe -30 with the windchill, and i think that only happened twice, and the snow never lasted more than 2 days. Usually back home (about 800 kms North of Calgary) im lucky if the temp is above -5 in the winter, and if we see the ground at all between the first snowfall and spring. Of course, the warmest it gets in the summer can't be more than 35 degrees celsius, and that is plenty hot for me!
