Drifts over 8 feet.
Denver is shut down.


No longer dreaming of a white Christmas.

[Snee]

Living the dream already, eh?

'Cuz of all the snow, huh? :dabs:

[clocker]

'Cuz of all the snow, huh?
Pretty much, yeah.

Good excuse to stay home and get shitfaced.

[Snee]

I bet it's 'cos you've got a bad conscience.

[clocker]

That and the fucking snow.

Unbelievable! We still have next to no snow here. :(

[clocker]

God is punishing Canadians.

[Virtualbody1234]

Maybe he's punishing you.

I moved north to get some snow, and dammit, all I've gotten so far is a bunch of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans.

Apparently the main roads are getting plowed but it'll take a day or so before I can get to a main road.
My poor new car (well, new to me) is stranded at the shop.

Winter wonderland, my ass.

[Buffalo]

That's well bad, The only time i've seen snow like that in the uk was in 1982, we got cut off from other towns for a week, food was running out, and things got quite bad.

[Buffalo]

This was all the snow we had last crimbo and it lasted all of one day lol

Before Al Gore invented global warming, we'd get a snow like that at least once a week.

The winter of '95, we had over 400 inches of snow, and the temperature didn't get above 0 F from the end of November until the middle of February.

For the middle month of that period it didn't get above -25 F.

The next year it wasn't quite as cold, but we had 430 inches of snow, and we had snow on the ground from September through the following May, just shy of 9 months.

Since El Nino in '97, and La Nina in '98, winter here hasn't been shit; barely 200 inches last year.

[Buffalo]

Interesting stuff, I just had a look at http://www.climatecrisis.net/
will see if i can get a copy of the dvd, I don't know who Al Gore is.

[MagicNakor]

Plenty of snow here. :P But I haven't been able to make snow tunnels for years. Lucky bastard.

Which begs the question- why would a body choose to live in such a clime?
No wonder alcoholism and suicide are the two biggest sports up there.
Add in the plethora of snowmobiles and you have the perfect recipe for Darwinian birth control.

The childlike joy afforded by the snow tunnel was brief and transitory compared to the near coronary and aching back the rest of the job induced.

"Lucky bastard", indeed.

[backlash]

OMG. That's scary, clocker! Thank God you got a path out of the house, at least!

[clocker]

Oh yes, the path is quite useful.
Say for instance, I wanted to walk ten feet from my front door and then freeze to death in a virgin snowfield- that path would be the way to go.

Shame about clocker's sleeping disorder, tho'.

And too bad he's not sixty years younger, 'cos he'd have loved the snow if he was still in skewl :happy:

:lol:

Hope you make it through this, Clocker. Sorry about the stranded beloved 'new car.'

I heard on the news yesterday AM that your mayor thought it would be great fun to hold giant 'sledding' parties in four of your area parks. He mentioned that hot chocolate could be provided.

I bet his employees love him. ;)

I would prefer that anything "hot" be applied to the roads- let the revelers supply their own refreshment.
It might be fun though to attend a giant sledding party.
Let's see...if I start shoveling now I could probably make the 11 mile journey to the nearest park by oh say, um, March.

Bet there wouldn't be any damn hot cocao left by then, which would be somewhat of a pisser.

LMAO! Do you have any kids who would enjoy a frolic in the snow or are you a kid at heart that wants a romp in the snow? ;) hehe

[Virtualbody1234]

I can assure you that when we get lots of snow like that, it doesn't take long before roads are cleared enough to get around. Half a day at most!

We're used to it. :01:

Take a couple flasks of brandy with you. You'll not feel a thing. :angel1:

just rain. :( :pinch:

Looks great clocker, nice photo :) ...just send the bill to FST admin...it's their fault...

[SaveFerris]

Man that's cool, I wish England was more like that. :cry:

[DanB]

England just has freeezing fog.

My weather (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2336)

[Everose]

Clocker, I just finished shoveling around six inches of snow off my sidewalks and front porch. I have not had to shovel snow for a few years.

While it was invigorating.......it was also hard work.


I think that if I had as much snow to deal with as you did, I may have had to wait until someone needed me at work and came and shoveled me out.:unsure:

[clocker]

...We're used to it. :01:
Well, we're not.
A storm like this hits about once every 4-5 years.
The rest of the time we save our snowfall for when the Broncos are on Monday Night Football- the ski areas get orgasmic when it looks like a winter paradise on national TV.

The big problem now is trying to move stranded cars out of the snow plow's way...this was a very fast snow dump and no vehicle was really very useful by Wed. afternoon so lots of cars got stuck during afternoon rush hour.

It was modestly amusing to see all the Navigators, Escallades and other pretend SUVs in ditches and medians...I even saw a HumVee on it's side.

I finally got the Mazda dug out and safely home just an hour or so ago.
Now I don't have to worry about some out of control redneck in his rusted out Bronco sideswiping it while he tries (and probably succeeds) to impress his toothless girlfriend.

Meh.

Phoenix looks mighty good about now.

That's my biggest fear in bad weather - having the car parked in the street and some person just skidding right into it. Best place is your garage or driveway, but that's not always an option. :dabs:

Funny shit... haha

Thanks for NOT posting pics of "your backdoor" .. ha ha nooo, ok I'll go back to the corner now
