wow, that pic sucks!!

 

Jeez Louise...

If that happened here, we'd be off work for a week; or two.

Then again, it'd be 80 degrees two days later- so we'd be off for at least 2 - 3 days.

 

^ ^ ^

You must live in TX too

 

Here's mine...



C'mon spring!!

 

Man that snow sure is purdy.

 

That is sad, although you are more than welcome to all the snow I've got if you want it...Here you go...It rained on Monday so it melted a little and isn't as deep as it would have been. All told, we've probably gotten at least 3 1/2 feet in the last 2-3 weeks!

Here is my truck, safe in it's tent! The red arrow is pointing to a 4 foot wire fence that is almost completely buried, some of that snow is what we've cleared out of the driveway:



Here is the front yard, and Casey! For reference the white fence is 3 feet high:



Here is a shot looking down the street. Sorry about the color, not sure what happened. That little white car (belongs to the neighbor) was completely buried before the rain on Monday. It looked like a huge snowball:

 

remember when???






Buffalo faces old problem in new year -- snow
Bush declares emergency in 2 counties
January 2, 2002 Posted: 9:25 AM EST (1425 GMT)


BUFFALO, New York (CNN) -- Dump trucks rolled out Tuesday to remove tons of snow from streets, as residents began the new year by digging more snow from a five-day storm that dumped about 7 feet of snow on the city.

"The problems is, in this case ... we have to actually remove the snow," said Joseph Giambra, the commission of public works for the city. "We can't plow it because it's higher than our plow blades."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


He said city crews were using loaders and dump trucks to "pick the snow up and take it out of the neighborhoods."

Giambra said the snow, which began falling Christmas Eve, is being transported to a couple of dump sites throughout the city, including one on the waterfront.

City employees are working with crews contracted from other cities, including Toronto, Canada.

"These sites are pretty big right now and filled with snow a couple of hundred feet high," he said.

Federal aid is headed to the area after President Bush issued an emergency declaration Monday night for two countries: Erie, which includes the city of Buffalo; and Niagara.

The declaration means the Federal Emergency Management Agency will reimburse local and state agencies for 75 percent of the total cost of snow removal during the first 48-hour period after the snowfall. The clean-up effort is expected to cost millions of dollars.

Schools are expected to remain closed all week because some streets are still not passable.

"We're praying for a more mild winter after this," Giambra said.

 

buck, I remember that one, we had gone to a Sabres game and when we got out they were shutting down everything, including parts of I-90, took us 3.5 hours to get back to Rochester.

 

Thats insane.......Lets us know for sure, that mother nature is in charge.

 

cant match WMR or Buck's snow amounts, but this is a dusting for us. Man I hate winter, but I love the black beauty when its all clean against that white backround.



Jamzwayne, sounds like you need a road trip. Just start drivin north till ya see the signs reading minnosota. Should find some snow there. Load up the truck and take some home. :santa:

sled...

 

Thought of that.....but, if I brought it back in a jar or something... it'd be just water, and people would think I was insane or something.

 

Jamz, if all you want is a jar of snow, go to the fridge, put the ice despencer on crushed ice. Walla, you basicly have snow.

Sled...
