I HATE SNOW!!
Now I feel better. We currently have a foot of the icky white stuff, with a projected 1-2 feet more coming before its over.
I looked at my calendar this morning, it does say April 23. Hmmm...snow this time of year is really a bummer. We are snowed in until I can find a plow truck to come dig us out.
The one good thing about it is I don't have to go to work today.

Where do you live? I'm in NH and we're usually the last to lose our snow. I'm tired of the sticky gray yuck stuff too.
Don't fret. It'll melt.

Poor Kitty
enjoying a nice toasty 85 today but WE NEED RAIN - forest fires have already started popping up. The Carolinas are great weatherwise except in the last 10 years rain is very hit and miss. Need a tropical storm

Last night, I told my husband, "You know I just always assumed everyone would like to live some place like Florida, but now that I talk to people who live in places like Michigan, etc. on a regular basis, I've realized they actually like snow eight months out of the year." Honestly, until I started talking to you guys, I never realized there were places in the continental U.S. other than mountain peaks in the Rockies, that had snow that long. I thought winter was like three months long and then spring broke out.
Of course, I've been known to wish I lived somewhere with four distinct seasons, but that was a few years ago, when cold just didn't hurt as bad.

I'm in the Colorado Rockies, and we get snow from Sept through May, and on occassion the first week of June.
I get really cranky when it snows in May and June. I just whine when it snows in April, but watch out for May and June.
The four of us are stuck here until we get plowed out, talk about family togetherness. Unfortunately one of us is a teen-ager. (need I say more)
Already this morning, I have broken up one fight and sent both kids to their bedrooms, and this is just the first day. I'll let you know if we're all still alive by the time this is over.

Hey Kitty,
Help is on the way..... today in Reno, we are enjoying our first day in the low 70's in a very long time. So by Monday or Tuesday if that cloud doesn't stall over your house, you will be seeing some warmer weather and melting snow. At leat I hope that you will. I fully understand how you feel about snow in April and May and June, I have had it here on many occasions when I least expected it. But take heart, fair lady, you will be rescued by warmer breezes and clear skies soon.

Yeah, I remember International Competition in June in Arizona, and it was a really good thing we'd flown in from Michigan. It started snowing. Us Northerners just dug out the coats we'd taken off when we climbed off the plane. The Southerners stood out in the middle of it saying, "What's this? Does God have dandruff or something?", and those from the really south (New Guinnea, Peru, etc.) were shivering so bad--they couldn't figure out what was going on. LOL.
Arizona in June, and it snowed. Go figure.

Well the sun is shining today, and so we begin the great dig out. The snow plow will be here sometime this morning, YEAH!!
Now to shovel out my front porch and a path to the car.

Oh Kitty, so sorry about the snow!!! If it makes you feel any better, we just finished our last melt down about a week ago, hoping that's the end of it for the year. However, this is Calgary. We can get snow in August.
Enjoy it though... go have a snowball fight or something!

Kitty, now purrty Kitty....
I told you three days..... (pet, stroke, pet, scratch behind the ears,) that is how long it will take from the other day for the storm track to move from you. THREE DAYS. (pet, stroke, coo, scratch behind the ears and on neck under chin,). Temps here are warming and you will be getting the track that way soon, I PROMISE!!! (look straight into eyes, and cuddle up to nose, stroke forehead,)

Where I live, in the AVERAGE year, we can expect freezing temperatures through April 22 and snowfall until april 24. However There have been a number of respectable snowstorms well into May. I can remember cleaning lots of white stuff off of my windshield on one spring morning, a mixture of snow and cherry blossoms.
A little farther north in the UP (upper peninsula), it is normal for the last remnants of snow to melt in early to mid June. We haven't told the Yoopers that there are parts of the country where the temperature actually rises above sixty degrees before the 4th of July. |

Kitty,
I know just how you feel. I hate snow, too!
We had 14 inches of the stuff. The city came to a stand-still.
Roofs collapsed, cars crashed, people were buried. It was terrible.
Let me see, that was back in 1984, the last time we saw snow here!

Well, for some reason, we've had a wonderful early, quite normal spring here in Indy. But, as I mentioned on another thread last week, ~~it's TORNADO TIME!
We've been doing yard work all day, and right now I can hear a dove cooing outside my office window. It's supposed to be in the 70s again this Thursday.
I'm lovin' it. Sorry Kitty, but summer will be here soon! |

Well it's April 27th and we're in the middle of a glorious snowstorm here in mid-Michigan. I expected the stuff to melt on contact because our temperatures have poked into the eighties a couple of times this spring and the ground should be fairly warm. On the paved surfaces it's still just wet but my lawn (all three acres of it) is pure white. |

Dang it. Dennis beat me to the punch.
It's FREAKIN' COLD HERE!!!
I predict another flu epidemic in Michigan following this 20-80-30-90-25 degree weather fit we keep having.
I hate snow.
I hate snow.
I hate snow.
But I refuse to move, dang it. Stubbornness sucks.

Dennis, YOU are a riot.
We need to pretend to drink together sometime. (I try to pretend to drink more than actually drink lately. It's easier on the head and tummy.)
I'm sure we could find a meeting place somewhere in the halfway zone to have a drink.
Smile. Things will improve. I will survive, and so will my children. One way or another. Aren't you glad you aren't that jerk? (Or their biological mother, for that matter?) LOL
Wheels in motion stay in motion as long as the grease doesn't dry up.
Now, if that isn't the worst analogy you've ever heard, I'm slipping. LMAO.

Laurie,
My wife is from Detroit and snow and all its companions are why she
left.
I had a room-mate in the USAF who was from International Falls, MN.
After hearing the horror snow stories from him, I don't even see why there is a city there! After the first winter, why didn't the original settlers just move on??

It's that stubbornness, Bill. It comes down to wanting space of your own, and if you all keep migrating further south, the south gets all crowded. Then you have those weaklings who can't take the heat. I MISS 80 degrees year-round. Yet, there are people who find that unusual. They are actually entranced by the "beauty" of pristine white that snow coverage has........until the plow comes by.
Of course, if they like to hunt, there's no better way to track your kill than to follow the crimson on eggshell trail left behind.
Who knows. Why in the world did we move back to Michigan from Texas? Family. They wouldn't move south, so Mom brought us back north.
It's craziness, I tell ya.
So, of course, we tolerate this craziness. (danged family won't move!)
Snow is something to visit. Not to live in. Give me the tropics any day.

I can't imagine living without snow. Those of you who have never made a snow angel probably can't understand that.
I like warm weather too and I absolutely love my Caribbean vacations in February, but the world was designed to have four seasons. I feel sorry for those who miss that experience. |
