More snow than we'd even know what to do with this morning.

Heres an Idea for you Andy

Nice machine. Our local council don't even have ploughs though! We don't get snow here LOL.

The local mountains have snow plows, But everywhere else in the county has no plows at all as Snow is just not normal, rain We can deal with, But Snow? I'm with You Andy, I hope Yer snow melts soon, At least in Canada(Shield or not), Their prepared as It gets cold up there, Brr. It looks like the snow is the consistency of Flour, Somebody has dumped on US all, Maybe the drought is over.

Oh those movies are so fun to watch, I've got another one on My DVD wish list on amazon just waiting for enough money to get It with, But then there are only another 24 of 25 DVDs I'm looking to buy one day.

As Ice Ages go, 4 is way too small a number, But then this planet has had them in Dinosaur times(hard to believe, But what the heck, life is plenty stranger than fiction). So who knows what number It is by now. :D

Here's a link to a local Omaha TV station (KETV-7) that has a short slide show of images showing some of our "for the record books" winter thus far.

Right now it's sunny, 3F with 30 mph NW winds, and lots 'o blowing snow.

Weather like that was always good for a few extra bucks when I was younger. A 4*4 and a few good chains and we made enough cash pulling cars out of the snow for the weekend beer and entertainment. Today Im just glad to be home and off the roads when it gets like that.

Im enjoying some sunshine for the first time this year without any winds to speak of so all our fluffy "flour like" snow is starting to get a crust on it and tighten up which will help to prevent what we have from drifting. Unfortunately it will provide a slick surface for any more snow we get to blow right across and fall into our clean driveways!

Lord, ain't that the truth? My first 4x4 was a '74 Chevy I got new my junior year in high school. Since then I've had 4 other trucks, (3 Chevys and now a Dodge) all 4x4's. Most winters around here the extra traction is over-kill, but a winter like this, it's pretty near a necessity. On more than one occasion we set out to make a mint but ended up being good Samaritans instead. I can honestly say that over the years the good ol' 4x4's haven't kept me out of the ditch, but they have gotten me out of the ditch a time or three. :)

This is a couple years old, but Andy's sat image reminded me of a vapor map that either showed an ominous presence, or perhaps a more religious one, approaching the Northwest US.

WOW! Even Canada has a few green spots out on the Left Coast this time of year. Good luck Andy, and everybody else there.

Perhaps snow is green in Ireland. They seem to be very fond of that colour.
