ahhhh!!! It wont stop snowing

Played 18 holes yesterday in light sweater up here in Rouge Island, but I remember thinking last January 21st how good the winter was, and February being a short month, March might as well be spring... the next day the snow and " vortex " started and didn't stop until July.

Yesterday went out to meet a couple of other buds for a day in gthe other hobby-  gold prospecting (belong to 3 mining clubs and a metal detecting club).   Ran into snow halfway there, not much, an inch or so.  Been raining hard for a week, the lake we go by is up about 15 feet from Sept, creek we work is way up from a week ago.  I lasted about two hours and had to head back to dry and thaw out.  Last trip up there until May or so, maybe June when the dredge season opens and I get the new toy in the water.  Oh yeah, nothing to add to the gold vial either, bust for the trip.  The other guys did find a little. 

I don't mind driving in it (grew up with it, a five foot fence disappeared in two days once with no drifting), but most people around here are idiots on the road since they might see white every couple of years.  They get 4 inches and everything shuts down.......

Went into the attic to get wrapping paper a few minutes ago, and it was so warm in there that I was sweating by the time I got out.

I got a text message this afternoon from my sis down in Southern MD telling me it's 70 degrees and my uncle is sweating from doing his lawn on his rider mower. My sis says she may go swimming in the river too. (Patuxent River) LOL!!

Why do they always show Home Depot running out of shovels ? what do people do,use them once and throw them out ?

 

 

 

 

That's funny! 

 

we got a couple inches in Denver and my frau was out and couldn't find the window scrapper in her car. we probably have 6 somewhere. yhe mountains did well for ski season, down here was just annoying. did get to saturday ipms breakfast and picked up my AMX-30B2 plus some modern us army tank crew i hope are close enough to be french. home and into T-72 before it snowed heavier.

What a difference a year makes. 

I opened my windows for some fresh air a few minutes ago.

Considering last winter, I am not gonna complain.

No snow here either. From my understanding we're suppose to have a dry, warm winter this year in the Northeast. No complaints from me regardless....

ya can keep your snow, left Erie Pa. a few yrs ago, for that sunny southern weather, in Roanoke Va.

Your lucky   up here in prince george b.c Canada it's a balmy..-14 c  lol ..love to go to Florida I'd hit every hobby store ha ha ..

Same here! I am working a State Semi-final game Friday night, and I will probably be working up a sweat. Normally one will freeze their stones off at a football game the last Friday of November around here.

That humidity is really bad but its mostly during the summer. Right now it's really pleasent with the lows down in the 60's and mid 70s for the highs. I can actually do yardwork and not sweat.

Just under a foot of snow fell where I'm at.

My goofy nephew left his driver's side window down. He parks in his drive way......

I miss living in Florida. I really miss putting up the Christmas lights in shorts and a t-shirt!

 

I don't like Florida..no appeal to me. And, I don't like putting up x-mas lights, no matter what I'm wearing...or not wearing!The job I'm on now (and have done for the last 3 years) has cured me of that joy. It takes 4 guys, 4 full days to light up this one house. It is a sight to behold for sure, but....bah humbug.

10a.m. this morning...

Normally...I'm all for it....the more the merrier...but still having a few more work days left...this is the stuff that nightmares are made out of. The work is PITA enough on it's own...add 9 inches to the equation, and it's a truck load of suck!

Had it been two weeks later..I'd be lovin it!

A shame I can't swap ya some of this snow for that warmth.....................I keep hearing the water table in that state is gettin' kinda low 

Aa someone who has been living in Florida for most of my life It seems that as I get older I tolerate heat less. 

As far as the water table thing, it rains like crazy here but for some ridiculous reason, the County I live in has watering restrictions for lawn maintenence which I find silly.

I'm in Central FL and finally tomorrow will be getting our first cold front. The low will be 50 and a high of 73.

I was pressure washing the pool pavers and it was a muggy 76 so I'm glad the cooler weather will be coming in.

You still have snow falling today, Monday, the 23rd?  Where are you?

 

 

 

I live in (northern )  Illinois : hive of scum and villainy.

Last year, it snowed here on May 16th 2014

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/05/16/snow-in-may-this-is-not-a-drill/

I especially remember because I chose to ride my mountain bike that day............

 

 

 

When I was a kid--well, when I was still in high school--three years in a row, it snowed in our area on October 10.  And I remember riding the bus home from school and passing through the line where it changed from snow to rain.  It was like a cartoon.

And even longer ago, I remember the Fourth of July in 1977, it was in the 40s that day.  We all wore jeans and long-sleeved shirts or jackets at our cookout.

Weird, wild stuff!

 

Thanks, Baron,

It is November 21st-

That Weird, wild stuff is back in Northern Illinois- kinda like the teaser for a Bruce Willis movie:

Snow Hard with a Vengeance !!   

Found about ten inches ( 26 Cm) of wet, heavy, heart attack snow on the ground this morning..............still snowing heavily.

Wonder what Canadians do at a time like this?
