Wimpy, WimpY!

We had a good 1.5 feet here right before thanksgiving. Now, however, it's bright and sunny outside, after getting, in this order:

1 inch of freezing rain
1.5 inches snow
.5 inches sleet
1 inch freezing rain

So now we're nicely buried under all sorts of wintery goodness. Now if only I could convince mom to give me a snow day...

Edit: I just realized it's snowing again. Anyone here ever seen it snow in broad daylight? It's kinda creepy... especially when all trees in the area have an inch or two of ice hanging off them. It's danged BRIGHT!

Rain Rain and more Rain. It seems to think it's late april around here. Though I guess I'm glad it wasn't colder for the last 4 days of nonstop rain.

We've only received about 1 foot at most. Getting another 15-20cm from now till tomorrow. Would take a pic but being 23 stories upo, all you'd see is snowfall.

Don't have a smart media card reader on hand--at least not one that'll take the card and read it without reformatting it. I think I can find a picture of an ice storm we had a year or two back thoug; it looks something like this...

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 1:12 pm

We only have like half a foot on the ground here, but this past weekend it was raining and freezing to the concrete, so we had a crapload of ice stuck to everything. My windshield still doesnt have all the ice gone from it.

I have some old pics of snow from the 90's where I used to live in Washington if you want.

I wish. Nothing but rain so far. It was in the fifties part of next week, and it's supposed to warm up again in the next few days. Enough of this fall weather crap, give me a cold snap and a foot of powder.

Winter's always been my favorite season of the year; I pity you Florida wimps who have never seen a real snowfall.

sheepdog · Post by **sheepdog** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:39 pm

I like snow in manageable quantities.

I'd be miserable without seasons that are clearly identifiable one from another and I HATE rain that lasts for more than a day or so. Same goes for extreme heat. Hmmm ice is a drag. Once weather leaves aesthetic experience and enters the realm of significant inconvenience (or at worst danger) I get bummed. Otherwise it's all good.

I'll know I have one foot in the grave when I can't appreciate a sunny day and new snow on the ground with the temperature just hovering around freezing.

I'd be jealous of WA, except for 2 things:

1) I like snow
2) I don't like hurricanes

total of 18 inches in 15 hours.

WarAdvocat · Post by **WarAdvocat** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 9:39 am

heh. Pere you look like yer catchin flies in that pic

Lothar:

1) I like snow! It's awesome to VISIT! Then I come back home. I probably learned this mindset living in Silicon Valley where multiple times per year we would stage holy weekend pilgrimmages to Heavenly Valley or Squaw Valley for skiing.

2) Hurricanes, snow & ice, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, everywhere you live there's gonna be SOMETHING. I, for instance, prefer Hurricanes to Snow, Tornadoes, Ice & Snow, and Earthquakes.

I do have to admit, that despite my smug attitude, I really miss being able to drive to the slopes in only 5-6 hours. These days it would be a fairly major undertaking.

Pun · Post by **Pun** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 9:49 am

I feel the same way about heat and humidity, bunbun. Guess we're both living in the right place, eh? there's nothing like getting up in the morning, havin a good breakfast and goin outside to crack off 100 miles of trail action. Ahh the smell of 2-cycle exhaust in the morning...

WarAdvocat · Post by **WarAdvocat** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 10:56 am

Yeah, I love my dirt bike! As for the rest, I wish they would just hurry up and invent teleportation booths so we can live 'close' to all our friends.

Stryker · Post by **Stryker** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 12:09 pm

I just finished halfway clearing our (extremely steep) driveway. There was easily an inch of ice, with a half inch of snow on top. This stuff was HARD; my dad and I were having to scrape it off the driveway with a steel hoe. Our snow shovels went *KACHUNK* and that's about it.

What do IU grads and tornadoes have in common?
They both end up in trailer parks.

What does the average IU player get on his SAT's?
Drool.

I fully expect more Purdue jokes. Let's just hope your defense is better than the IU football team.

We got snow in Seattle! This is a Major Event. We never get snow in Seattle. This is the first time this year that I've seen it, and it'll likely be the last. Looks to be about half an inch, and melting already.

The hilarious thing is that this'll probably shut down the city. Already, some friends have declined to come to church with us this morning, citing safety concerns over driving in the snow. Of course, that could just be their polite way of saying, "Hello? I'm a pagan and she's a jew!" But the point stands: half an inch of snow scares people out here.

Lothar and I just laugh at that. I grew up in eastern Washington, where waist-high piles of snow along the side of the road were pretty much a given from December through Febuary. And Tom... Tom grew up in Colorado. No more needs said.

I love Seattle. It's constant live entertainment.
