aka: Why I Love Utah...

Turned my mid-morning coffee break into 30 minutes looking out on this.  Got about 8-10" of snow last night (got stuck in the van in the neighborhood too) and woke up to this sort of day.

You talking about this?

Very nice UB!

Sounds like we may get a bit of snow this weekend as well. Not 8-10" but hopefully enough to whiten things up for Christmas.

That's not my house.  That's Troy Peterson's house.

I gather the restraining order allows you just inside 300x zoom range.   ???

We're due for a bit more and temps to remain below freezing.  Show here and there all weekend and then 26* and partially clear for the big day.   [sm_buddies]

Two what?

;D

 ;D ;D

8-10"? That's what I cleared off the driveway last night before bed. Lake effect hammered us all night long and I cleared off about the same amount this morning before work.

That's why they call it "bountiful".  Delight in your riches and quit whining.   [sm_devil]

Very pretty!

Our snow seems to be melting. :(

Nice!  I miss seeing snow, and the way everything seems calm and muffled after a nice snowstorm.

Calm and muffled skipped Wyoming.  It took me 2.5 hours to drive a 20 mile stretch of dirt road on the way home from work last night due to complete whiteout conditions. It took me the same amount of time to get to work this morning, busting 3-4 foot drifts and fighting a 20-30 mile wind the whole way.

Sometimes I miss the snow. You can keep posting pictures like that UB. The one stroh posted reminds me of why I hate snow.

Here's work this morning.

What's all that white stuff??

 ;)

It's a blowin' snow today round these parts.

E-A-G-L-E!.rejoices

Enough already.  My driveway looks like a scene from Ice Road Truckers.

We're sending you some more *feces* over the next couple of days.

lol :D

(Missed seeing that the first time.)

Well, since the beginning of the thread, we have had plenty of snow.  However, can you still send some our way?  It's melting a bit again.  The ice is only 12 inches deep, and I've only been out ice fishing once so far.

52* when i woke this morn. now where did i put that sunscreen. :D

Today's my birthday, and I'm treating myself to a round of golf. ;D

Record high yesterday - I played golf in shorts  :D

Happy Birthday! [sm_buddies]

Seconded.   [sm_beertoast]

Terciariated.   [sm_drinking]

*Fudge* everything, we're doing five blades! (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33930)

LMAO!  That was great.  I like the way that dude writes.

I prefer to remember Tim Conway this way....  One of the best TV moments evar!

Thanks X5.  Played like *feces*, but had a great time.  Golf in January in this part of the woods is a bonus.

Happy birthday! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Minnesnowta_Girl/Smileys/birthdaycake.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Minnesnowta_Girl/Smileys/Balloons.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Minnesnowta_Girl/Smileys/Birthday.gif)

No love for Conway's Siamese elephants?  Ya'll don't know good TV.  [sm_devil] ;)

Oh, *feces*, my liver hurts from laughing so damn hard.   That is funny no matter how many times you see it. 

One of the best shows ever. I don't want to step on Torpedo's toes but we have discussed this exact clip before (don't ask me how I remembered it though):  [sm_devil]

Oh - missed that one  :-[

I am outraged and incensed that you don't pay more attention.


 :P ;)

I'm looking at half an inch of snow outside. WooT!  :P

Nice scenery.


Unfortunately, that kind of weather doesn't do much for the golf game. 

Especially if you die of a heart attack moving snow.  I just spent 90 minutes on a two-car driveway and our sidewalk.  We're on a corner so we have a lot of the latter.  It snowed over a foot last night and the plows had built a berm three feet tall and five feet thick at the bottom of the driveway.  Had to clear that by hand and even with a 8hp snowblower I struggled with the rest of it.

Plows just came by again and I have another wall to clear before we can drive anywhere.   :sad3:

Brutal.

Yup. And we've got new windows scheduled to be installed today.

No.*goshdarn*.Chance

Winter suxorz.

Round two.  Another six inches or so.  That's about 20 inches already today.

I feel like Lindsay Lohan.

What?  You get a lot of 'inches' too?   [sm_devil]

On the plus side, the window installers didn't cancel.  8)

Finally it stops.  For now.

3.5 hours of snow removal today.  I have pillars at the foot of my driveway taller than me.  Taller than spacey even.

El Niño can kiss my ass.

For all who don't know:  "I HATE SNOW!!!"

Probably not a good time to let you all know it's 107* F here...

 :o

If that happened here right now my neighborhood would generate a tsunami.

Meanwhile 15 miles south of you, we only got 5-6" total.

Yeah?  Well lake effect can kiss my ass too.   ;)

Yeah, mine too on most days.  ;D

Move south

Dude, I used to live in England, then Canada, then here.  I've been moving south my whole life and it keeps getting snowier.   ;)

Baby steps. I lived in Buffalo, Chicago, Groton Ct. I said *fudge* it and moved to Dallas. 2 days of snow a year.

I do miss skiing though.

FWIW, it's snowing here today and we're supposed to get 2"-4". Probably won't take me 3.5 hours to remove.  [sm_devil] ;)

Hope you get a break for a while UB.

Calm right now but slated for storms right through the weekend.  According to the papers this morning we were among the worst hit areas.  We get lake effect off the GSL and one area can get dumped on while down the road it's mild. 

Two feet in about 12 hours yesterday.  Spacey's three towns and fifteen miles south of me and he got half-a-foot. 

Whew, it didn't drop below 90* F overnight... :o

That movie only had one redeeming feature. Well, okay two.  [sm_naughty]

Enough already already.   >:(

Wow!   :o

Wish we had that kind of snow.  If it's gonna be winter, and cold as *fudge* up here, we could use some of that.

global frickin warming.  ;D

holy crap!  [sm_shock]

Oddly, Bountiful, only about 20 miles south, remains relatively unscathed. Maybe 18 inches of snowpack here.

It's crazy.  Down in the main part of Layton and Kaysville it's like you say - maybe a foot.  We've just been in Lake Effect Central for every storm of the past six weeks.  You can literally go three miles north, south or west and see maybe 10-20% of what I have at my house.

The rose bushes in the photo of post #1 are completely buried now.  On the flat parts of my lawn the snow is above my waist (sssshh Clive).  Some of the drifts are neck high (sssshh Clive).  Next to the driveway there I'm having to throw snow seven feet up in order to clear the mounds.

Crazy, haven't seen anything like it in nine years at this house.

"Maybe"?

Slow as I am, i had to read that about 6 times to figure it out.    [sm_scratch] [sm_banghead]

I actually laughed hard when I saw those snow banks. I probably couldn't see over the tops of them.

Hobbits rule!

Damn UB.  I've never even seen that much snow on a snow skiing trip.

$20 paypal and you can have all of mine.   ;D

Don't know about U.B.'s place but I awoke to 6-8" fresh on the driveway this morning. Just spent 80 minutes on my 13 mile commute. Screw all of you guys who work from home.  [sm_protest]

Yeah, they piss me off about as much as the guys who can just  :airquotes: be off  :airquotes: the Friday after Thanksgiving, buy  :airquotes: putting it on the calendar.  :airquotes:

:raisehand:

and ummm,

:raisehand:

I was going to say the same thing! :)

man up.
