No snow in sight - WTH ???
Original Message Jan 9, 2013 12:05 pm

It's almost middle of January and less than inch of snow accumulation has fallen. There's no snow forecast in sight. The temperature is heading up to 50-60F this weekend. I'm excited about upcoming the warm weather but really want to see some real snow to play with.

Just saying, that's all. It's been quiet on this forum for the last 3 days. Too quiet. I'm going to shift over to collecting lawn mowers instead of snowblowers if this keeps up. Anybody feels the same way?

It is here! Really strong winds, but no snow (yet - sposed to come tomorrow). Had to blow out a three foot drift so my wife could get back in this afternoon - half an hour later it was back and couldnt even tell it had been gone. Drifts along the driveway are approaching 8 or 9 feet high now. We are pretty well isolated from the outside world here right now, and the weatherman says it's only going to get worse and last at least till Friday night.

This being the situation, I am makling request for an emergeny airdrop here. NEED BEER!!

How much gasoline do you keep in your garage? 8 or 9 feet will take some time to clear up. I don't think you want some cheap American beers even when times are tough.

Don't blow into the wind, and don't eat yellow snow. WOOF!

No, the Honda will not handle that. Probably have to call in the guy with the Bobcat and might have to wait a few days till he gets here. No so bad at that since it's sposed to stay like this for at least anoher day and a half or so. But, sometimes.......the wind gets so strong it blows everything away - I'm not holding my breath on that thouigh.

Under these conditions, I will drink most any kind but prefer a light ale. Any brand will do. So......when's the airdrop scheduled? I will stomp out a drop zone for it.

I can't fly because I have a green-red color issue. I was in the USAF but had a desk job. You need some help from the Royal Candian Air Force.

Snow comming down heavy in Southern New Jersey right now, they are calling for 3 to 5 inches. This will be the most snow we have gotten all winter. I already put the snow blower away for the winter, and took the rototiller out. I really don't feel like taking it out but if i must i must

Well, we took a road trip to Alberta on Wednesday, came home on Thursday night - to face 6 foot drifts on top of the old stuff and 20 miles of unmaintaind road to get here! Took a while for the last part, but we made it OK. Blew and chipped out a footpath thru 6 feet of snow to get from the car to the house and the rest will just have to wait for spring.
