I know there have been a few snow related threads lately...but I had to just chime in here about the dumping we got in the Mpls/St.Paul & Western Wisconsin area. In my hometown of Roberts, WI (20 minutes east of St. Paul, MN) we got 15 1/2" of the bloody rotten stuff! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I know...I know I shouldn't complain...I chose to live in "Antarctica". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

We're on our way of getting it. Had horrible thunderstorms last night, it was comfortable today (mid 60's) and now snow tonight - 1 to 3 inches. Applying the snow BS factor (of 6) that gets us to about 1/6 - 1/2" of snow.
Sounds 'bout right for Mid-March. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Tom |

My dad lives up in the White Mountains here in AZ(right by the "9 Magazine" guy....I forget his name here. Anyways, 31" at his house on Saturday and Sunday morning. It piled up high enough on his roof to block the vent for the furnace and shut his heat down. Talk about adding insult to injury!
This is his first winter up there after moving from Phoenix. Welcome to retirement, dad! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |

I feel cheated! I live in So Cal and did not get any snow at all. The closest we got was a little Hail the other day and today it was bright and sunny outside, I even wore a short sleeved shirt all day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I just want to see if I can apply me superior computer skills enough to put a picture in right side up? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Hey Rick, why doesn't ever snow up in your neck of the woods? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Isn't Duluth alot closer to the North pole than where I'm at? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I just about slipped a disc in my back this morning shoveling 3 tons of snow (literally!) off my front walkway. I just took this picture...I'm starting to see the bloody rotten stuff pile up again. THAT'S IT! I'M SELLING EVERYTHING BUT MY 914 AND I'M MOVING TO CA TONIGHT!

Hey Rick,
Does any one make such a kit for 914's? I'd buy one! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Here's what it looked like when I woke up this morning.

Those pics remind me of why we moved to Vegas. Short sleeves, sunny, going to the Southcoast Casino today, getting shitfaced and watch March Madness in the sportsbook.

Snowing in Denver. The mountains would be untouched. Bad luck for all! That's just how things work in colorado. Mother nature gets all PMSy whenever it changes seasons. |
