madhorseman Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I've been working on decaling my Folgers Thunderbird project, and I keep hearing about the upcoming weekend snow falls. We already had an approx 5" snow fall last Sunday!! Edited December 11, 2016 by madhorseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I just knew someone would bring up this topic soon. With my getting older and my asthma, snow removal is getting harder and harder for me. I may have to hire someone, we'll see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I would say move to Phoenix, but the pollution is so bad it makes me long for the days of snow shoveling. Asthma, COPD, etc. Yuck.Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hope no one minds that I took it upon myself to start it for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne swayze Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Kinda hard to build snowmen with those temps Ray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We have a weather man on TV that works himself into a tizzy every time he thinks it may snow. Last week he had me checking the tire pressure on the snow blower and making sure that it had a full tank of fresh gas. What we got was hardly enough to call it a "dusting". Not complaining, we only get a couple of storms every winter and 2" to 3" at a time. That's just fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthma, COPD, etc. Yuck.RussI wouldn't like living there in the summer as the temps are a bit too high for me. I know that it's a "dry-heat" but not for me. I was just out there again this past June and may(?) be out there again this comin' March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I don't wanna see anymore snow after what we had to deal with not quite a year ago! It snowed thirty inches here this past January 16th (Central PA), and frankly if it didn't snow like this for another 30-40 years, that would be fine by me!

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I hope it snows enough in the part of the Rockies that forms the watershed for the Colorado River to have significant Spring melt. Lake Mead and other reservoirs out West are getting scary low. 2015 But hey, global warming is a myth. Remember that when your taps run dry.

Rob Hall Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Looking at the Lake Effect snow the last few days, looks like I'll need to buy a snow shovel or a snow blower for my new place..;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A blanket of fresh snow is beautiful. May think it's easy for me to say sitting in Arizona but my first 27 years were in Chicago and Chicago area so I do know the hardships that can go along with snowfall.

madhorseman Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 no, were actually about a 100 miles from the ocean, we live at the end of the Fraser valley where the Cascade mountain range starts. It's like a big, tapering funnel right to where we live, then the moisture piles into the Cascades & dumps on us, big time...we get a lot of rain because the Japanese current keeps it warm, then it hits the cold Cascades. The "x" is approx where i live. Ever see the tv show Highway Thru Hell?, 15 minutes down the road from me.. and yup, dawg has always liked the snow, "face sliding" at 6000ft on a 45 degree slope when we climbed Mt Cheam last yr VERY COOL!!

I'd probably miss the snow a little if I moved away. Don't mind it, as long as i don't have anywhere to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
