Stay in the house... I would...

What we need are phasers to melt all the snow---LOL! At least I have someone coming in the morning to get rid of this 20 inches of snow in front of my garage! It comes up to the bottom of my coat next to the garage.

Well.... As of this morning... It's just plain a** COLD...!!!

Gunner, did you mean one of these?

Yep, that's kimd of what it looks like here at my house, sans the pool. Although right now is is 16.3 degrees according to the thermometer and we have no running water.

Nosewarmer,

You will be ok when you get back out here. We are in teh Bananna Belt today. It was +15F this morning on the way to work. Laramie is still a bit cold, they were still in the teens below. But right now it is almost +25F, 8:00am. You missed the cold snap, our high on tuesday was -15F with 20+ mph winds.

But the bright side is it was probably the clearest most beatiful blue skies I have seen in many many years.

You may run into some snow this weekend as they are saying we have another storm making it's way into the area from the north. It is supposed ot get to 0 or below next monday/tuesday.

Here in east central Minnesota, we got about 6" of snow before y'all got the blizzard. Our foot and a half of joy came in December. The snow in my yard averages mid thigh high. It is kind of nice to look at - from a heated room - through a window, but that's about as far as it goes.

The older I get the less thrilled I become by cold weather and the shivering and shoveling which accompanies it. I may have to move to Texas.

You guys took all of our snow this year !! We barely have any up here. We should be sending you our snowplows to help you guys out.

Anyways, here's a good read for those who have ever experienced snow.

Dec. 8 5:00 p.m. - It's starting to snow, the first of the season, and the wife and I took our buttered rum and sat by the window watching the soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was so beautiful.

Dec. 9 - We awoke to a big beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight. Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful white mantel. I shoveled snow for the first time in years, and I loved it. I did both our driveway and our sidewalks. Later the snowplow came along and covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. He smiled and I waved back. I shoveled it again.

Dec. 12 - The sun has melted most of our lovely snow. Oh well, I'm sure we'll get a little more before this lovely winter is over.

Dec. 14 - It snowed 8 inches last night and the temperature dropped to about 0 degrees. Shoveled the sidewalk and driveway again. Shortly the snowplow came by and did his trick again.

Dec. 15 - Sold our car and bought a 4x4 Blazer so we could get through the snow. Bought snow tires for the truck.

Dec. 18 - Fell on my Ass on the ice in the driveway. $100.00 to the chiropractor, but nothing was broken, thank God! The damn sky is getting dark again.

Dec. 19 - Still cold (-10 this a.m.) Icy roads making for very tough driving. Slid into a guard rail with my wife's car. Probably a $1000.00 damage or so. She's ****ed-off.

Dec. 20 - Had another 14 inches of the white sh!t last night. More shoveling in store for me today. That damned snowplow came by twice.

Dec. 22 - We are assured of a white Christmas because another 7 inches of that white sh!t fell today and with this freezing weather it won't melt till August! Got all dressed up to go out and shovel that sh!t again. (Boots, snowsuit, jacket, scarf, earmuffs, gloves, etc...) then got the urge to pee.

Dec 24 - If I ever catch the son-of-a-bitch that drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls. I think he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shovelling and then comes down the street 100 miles an hour and throws that white sh!t everywhere.

Dec. 25 - MERRY CHRISTMAS... they predict 12 more inches of the f*cking white stuff tonight. Does anyone know how many damned shovels full of snow 12 inches is? To hell with Santa, he doesn't have to shovel that white sh!t. The snowplow driver came by asking for a donation. I hit him with my ice axe.

Dec. 28 - We got 11 more inches. I must be going snowblind or have a severe case of depression.

Dec. 29 - The toilet froze and the roof is starting to cave-in. If you go outside, don't eat the brown snow.

Dec. 30 - I torched the damned house... moving back to Florida!

I'll send you ALL of mine... It's hard to keep the dogs in the fence when they can walk right over it...
