I hate snow.

Postby Karie » Fri Dec 19, 2008 11:15 am

That is about all I have to say...
we got dumped on.. about 8 inches. Maybe more.

and I let my husband drive my truck to work since he went to work in the worst of the storm and need to drive to a few ford plants today...
sigh... now I am forced to drive a Dodge charger on crappy roads to work.

ok enough whining...

anyone else get dumped on?

Sorry guys, it's fabulous here and I spent yesterday clipping the woolly horses using show sheen as an agent. Afterwards I resembled a hairy wombat. A shower and a couple of Heinekens later we were all happy.

We're not getting much snow just a steady stream of ice crystals condensing out of the frigid air (-25C). I think I prefer this to mud.

Lots of snow, but the worst was the terrible wind that just kept blowing what had already fallen all over the place. Calling for snow again on Sunday and Tuesday. I have to drive to Toronto tomorrow to pick my daughter up from school. Sure hope the 'citiots' stay off the roads!

Horses didn't seem to mind the weather. They spent the day with their heads buried in the round bales.

SNOW

Postby barnchick » Fri Dec 19, 2008 5:41 pm

Snowing and blowing here in southern Ontario. In a bad job, looking for a better job, and as I do every year, I think, dream, wish for an easier climate. Usually this feeling hits in Feb., this is the earliest I have ever had the urge to go south. I know it will pass, but it is brutal out there.

Mountlake Terrace, WA (10 miles north of Seattle off I-5) 5PM, 12/19/08. Temperature 20 degrees fahrenheit. 7 inches of snow on the ground. Predicted low of 15 tonight. Another storm coming in this weekend with winds of 60 to 70 mph predicted (gusts up to 90), and more snow. Rather unusual for this neck of the woods this time of year.

Same here. We are getting around a foot and it's blowing around like a blizzard.

Ground is frozen solid and ice everywhere.

Ah....just another day in lovely New England!! 8)
