Snow

[Scotto]

I love this time of year. Nice sleepy days with snow falling, fireplace burning, etc. Here is what I am seeing out my front door this morning:

So far about 14 inches have fallen, and it is still going strong. The kids are ready to head outside to make a snowman, and I, unfortunately, have to snowblow our driveway clean. Still nicer than working, though.... Those if you in always-warm climates are missing out.

Very nice Scotto. It almost looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. Peaceful.

[rtaylor61]

I like the snow also...not too wild about the 0 degree nights we have had lately...however...

Try using a shovel instead of the snow blower!:001_tt2:

Screw That!:001_tt2: There's a reason why I'm with a Hawaiian girl. Hell I live in Louisiana and it is like in the 40's right now and it is damn cold. Once I graduate with my PhD, I'm heading to the land where it is always in the 70's. You guys can have that cold stuff.

Righteous Randy! Looks like fallout! Good for picture postcards and that's probably about it. Anything north of Lake Okeechobee may as well be at the North Pole! Brrrr...

[DoubleE]

Man, that makes my teeth chatter just looking at it. I love a good snow like that about once every 5 years or so! My ideal weather would be around 60 in the morning, and around 70 in the afternoon! Anything below or above those two temps are just too cold or too hot! Unfortunately, that's not the type of weather we have in Oklahoma! It was 6 degress in the morning just a couple of days ago! Not typical for us but at least no TORNADOS!!

[Scotto]

Ah, but when you come in from the cold, boy does it feel great. I just got back inside after building one giant snowman with my boys, and SWMBO has the hot cocoa waiting. Ahhh....

[rtaylor61]

Jerry,

I miss a good tornado! Nothing like a good storm with brilliant flashes of lightening and loud claps of thunder...oh, for the good ole days!

Randy

[Nick]

Great looking pic Scotto!

Randy:

Not too many tornados in Utah, huh? I'm sure Texas will take you back after you get out of the witness protection program!:tongue:

Unfortunately, that's a life long commitment!

We had a tornado a couple of months after I got here back in '99. I TOLD my co-workers we were going to have a tornado, and they laughed at me. SO, I went to the back of the building to get away from the glass on the showroom floor. Within minutes, the defacation hit the fan. Unfortunately, there was one fatality. Fortunately, it was not on the ground long.

i love winter. it's one of the most peaceful seasons....

there was once a small tornado in binghamton, ny (my hometown). one fellow thought it was b.s. until he saw a 2x4 fly past the window.

best thing about the tornadoes in Texas is all the improvements tht happens after one comes through. New trailers, new windshields in the chevy truck, sometime a new old lady to live with.:glare:

Mark...I can't believe you passed on this perfect opportunity!

What do Texas Divorce and a tornado have in common???
















With either one, someone's gonna lose a trailer house!:scared:

Always good to see that this classic joke can be applied to other Gulf Coast states as well. I've always heard it applied to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

I agree Randy. Someone said the last Tornado to go through Eastern Oklahoma did $50,000 worth of IMPROVEMENTS!:glare:

[rtaylor61]

Jerry,

You owe me a new keyboard!!! :eek:

It always cracks me up to watch the news following a tornado...they find the one person living in the trailer park who has a "tooth" and interview him/her.

Randy

[rtaylor61]

Scotto,

Looks like we have hijacked your thread...Sorry! How about a few more snow pics. We've got the temperatures, but not the snow!

Randy

[Scotto]

How 'bout this:

[rtaylor61]

Very nice Scotto...apparenty Waylon was wrong when he said "only two things in life that make it worth livin'"!

Randy

[Rik]

I love snow and cold weather. The more snow and the colder, the better!

[rtaylor61]

Rik,

I don't doubt that you love cold weather and snow. You live in a state with two seasons...winter, and road repair! :001_tt2:

I guess from my 3 week jaunts in the north east have acclimated me somwhat....its 51 here and im out in t-shirts and sandalls. Usually I would be crying about how cold it is. Im actually excited about my next trip so I can see all the snow.....not looking forward to the wind chills in that cold weather though.

Nice pics scotto......One day im going to take my son to colorado or something for a winter vacation and let him build a snow man.

Sean,
Just be aware, if you have no experience driving in that "STUFF," it is very challenging. I lived in Syracuse NY for a thousand years in two years. More steenking snow than you could shake a stick at. Two hundred twenty five inches in 5 months! AGGGGH!

[Scotto]

Yeah, driving can be difficult. 4-wheel drive is a big plus.

Ron, I did my undergrad work in Rochester, NY. Now THAT was winter. Oh, the stories I could tell....

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Rik]

We spend a lot of time in Steamboat, CO. We'll probably move their permanently in a few years. It's pretty entertaining to watch tourists who aren't used to driving in the snow or mountains! I agree, 4-wheel drive is a must along with the best winter tires money can buy.

It's only entertaining if you don't "bump" into them, or vice versa!

Most of the time in Oklahoma, our four seasons are: almost summer, summer, still summer, and winter.:mad:

Jerry,

We had the same seasons in N.E. Texas, intermingled with tornado and hail storm.

We just have two parts of the year when their is a high probability of tornados. The first is in the early spring up through the end of June. The second part is the rest of the year...:scared:

[mark the shoeshine boy]

now my wife loves the snow and she hates it when she doesn't get 8 inches or more. i think we got 6 inches around here now.

But more is on the way wednesday ???

[rtaylor61]

Sounds like the Seattle Rain Festival, January 1st-December 31st.

Randy

[robofunk]

just moved back into binghamton, ny area. the snow has just kicked in and hopefully we will have a white valentines day!

[atnight]

We're supposed to see some Saturday in DC, after being shafted almost the entire Winter.
