Snowed In?

[D_Elijah_MorganWood]

Hey, Chrysalis, I have family in Denver, and they always tell us that we're wimps down here when it comes to snow!:biggrin: I always sort of agree with them but not this time! Almost everything's been closed here for the last two days, and I didn't get my paper again today! I just miss those Sunday specials!:biggrin::smile:

The last time I went to Albuquerque it was Christmas season 2002. As soon as I got off the plane and out the door, I picked up the rental car and I drove straight to Burlington Coat Factory to get a hat and gloves. Later that night we were in the Plaza in Santa Fe and it was 7. I called my mother in California and she said "omigawd, are you ok?"

Hey, agnslz; I have family in Albuquerque! Having visited, I know you guys aren't very well equipped to deal with it. You've got a lot of raised street reflectors instead of painted stripes, which makes it impossible to snowplow. So, even a little snow can make a big mess.

Ah, you know, I never thought about that! Here, it's mostly people digging a path with their cars that plows the streets!:biggrin1: That, of course, causes slush, and then ice, as the temperatures drop, which is why I think they've advised people to stay off the streets. The sun is beginning to peek out of the clouds though, so I imagine the snow will melt soon!

Just be glad you aren't in Santa Fe now!:biggrin1:

I'm sitting in a hotel in south dakota right now because the I94 is HORRIBLE and we didn't feel like risking it. But I am enjoying the wifi and pool instead of being stuck in a ditch

I am not fond of snow. IF you like it I am glad you got it. IF you don't like it I am sorry you got it. May toolman would feel better if he was getting a blow job while at the computer. I know I always do. Glad I am not snowed in. That's a lot of snow. But, I am sure you will make the best of it.

To those of you got heavy snow, I ask: Which is worst snow or tornados? See: Daytona Beach News-Journal Online -- News

Note: A tornado missed my place by about a half mile.

I grew up on the beaches of SoCal. Snow is great i got 4 feet on my front door. Just went snow shoeing for an hour.

You can find fun anywhere.

Ditto, here in Ottawa, artfulwilly.
Trees are bare ... but that's the only sign of winter.
A White Christmas? Ha ha ha.

Yeah it's unusually warm in Canada - the Globe published a map showing the entire country is having above average temps. No skating on the Rideau this month.
