    Not sure if it was The corner but it was a corner :) Just walking around after visiting a souvenir petrified rock + fossil shop and went, Whoa, Lookie here! I'm standing...... Had the original eight-track tape and it was kinda exciting for me. Wife said " Rog, take it easy". witchy woman.

    It'll be a couple months yet before we see 46. We've got pickup trucks driving around ON the lake.

    We've had some funky weather here too. Hardly any snow on the mountains (I live at a Ski Resort). Worst start to a season since they started skiing these slopes. Lots of runs are still closed and they've had to push back all sorts of typical/usual ski events till the end of this month. Highs today close to 50'F...which is about 20'f Higher than it should be.

    Keep an eye on the Winter X-Games later this month. They take place out here. Buttermilk is the mountain they take place on and, well, there's more grass than snow on that mountain right now!

    Winslow is a nice place, and seeing the Meteor crater once is enough for me!

    We got 8 inches of your white stuff in the Deep South a few weeks ago. I'd much rather you keep it out there. I'd rather get on a airplane to visit the snow than to have to shovel it to get to my grills.

    Kids don't get snow days out here unless we get about 2ft of snow overnight. We have a good chuckle when we hear about places like Atlanta etc shutting down because they got an inch of snow. We don't get excited out here unless the snowfall is in the double digits and at least 1ft!

    That's what our grill looks like November to about the beginning of April. Attached the 60" snow-thrower to the tractor this morning (27F and sunny today) to widen the road. They're calling for 3-6" tomorrow afternoon. Which means anywhere from none to over a foot. I didn't think things through before moving up here, we're at the end of a shared private road and my driveway is only about 300 feet to the road. It's another half mile to where the County takes over. Only one other resident, who is at the start of our section and an elderly widow, so I've become Road Commissioner. Looking forward to the next couple months of snowmobiling and ice fishing then middle of March it's Maple syrup time!

    In the South an inch of snow is like you getting a foot of snow. People don't know how to deal with it.

    Oh, we know what to do with snow. We like to skin on it. It would take a true blizzard (4+ feet of snow) in a 24 hour period to shut us down like an inch of snow shuts a place like Atlanta. down. Ski patrol would be tossing bombs left and right all through the night and people would XC Skin to the slopes to get up the fresh pow pow.

    Speaking of snow, we are expecting 8 - 15 inches tonight, but it'll all melt due to the unseasonable warm temperatures we're experiencing this winter.

    That dang global warming again. I'll bet Al Gore is taking a bath with his plummeting carbon credit stocks these days.

    Uh oh, does this mean the thread is getting kicked to the stump now?

    I sure hope not. That place went dark about 10 months ago. Wonder why :confused:

    They're now saying the ocean floor is sinking from the weight of the water of all those glaciers melting. Maybe it will counter-act sea level rise.

    That's great news! That occurrence will undoubtedly off set what that senator (rep?) was saying about the entire island of Guam capsizing and sinking under the weight of all the USMC assets transferred there from Okinawa.

    Places where the tophamper is increasing will sink. Green land is going to rise as the ice shield melts. They have pictures on the 'net showing the current coastline under the ice and the projected coastline. Get in early and grab some of that ocean-front property!

    Snow has never been the problem to me (in The South), it's the solid ice that often comes with it. When you live way out in the boondocks where no one does anything to the roads, it's very hazardous. Imagine driving up and down hills on solid ice. It's like riding a slalom with random trees, banks and ditches to guide you. LOL
