Ducati Monster Forum

had about 5 inches by 8 am today.

looks like another 5 - 6 have fallen since then.

BUT! HA HA! 
i tricked her and bought a snowblower after the last big storm, so no more 3 hour shoveling jobs (100x12 foot driveway and 600 SqF pad in front of the garage)


edit: 5:30, and it looks like i will get to do the driveway again tomorrow morning [thumbsup]

Just make the beast with two backsing cold.

Not much snow in the Lakes Region today.

Happy New Year everyone.

Not much snow here either, 2".  But cold and windy!  1 deg.

Colder... ;D

edit:

0 deg...windchill -23 deg.

Gonna burn some pellets/oil/wood today.

light snow and 30°F

just cold today....although the weather guy claims some flurries possible.
think i'll go skiing this weekend

where you headed?

went over to Stratton, in VT.
i have relatives that live in South Londonderry, VT (just down the hill.)
makes for some cheap lodging.

weather was pretty good. mostly sunny, descent snow (for the east coast), and not as cold as it could have been.

glad you had fun herm :)

icy this morning here in CT

Not anymore, it's 40 here right now...

your "shore" weather is WaY different than our weather at the foot of the berkshire's :)

looks like we have a good one headed this way.

Oh so true,,, I was actually able to get out and ride a couple of times right before New Years and a little this past Sunday.

Yes, I'm looking at it as glass half full, but I even noticed that there's still daylight when I leave work. Come on Spring !

Oz

I wish I could say the sun was up when I go to work.  My kids usually start refering to me as the family vampire this time of year.  They never see me when the sun is up...

I usually leave about 5am, roll back in about 4:30-5:30pm.

(http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-17113.gif)

almost 6 inches of rain since yesterday afternoon.  Was afraid the two streams behind the house were headed into the basement. ???

Just started snowing. Weather.com says it's supposed to be freezing rain...

give it a second....

quit changing your screen name...

Good call...

icy!

be careful out there gang!

all snow so far.

we've got almost 1/4" of ice on everything...  :-\

they're saying we could get as much as 10" of granular....

it's not the light fluffy stuff like last time.

not the stuff that weighs as much as sand...
that's a lot of sand...

bring the grill into the barn!!!  [thumbsup]

switched to rain/sleet here this morning.  nothing like ice over 3" of snow.

I tried to ski this morning.  couldn't see a thing.  my goggles were covered with ice.  I was covered with ice. 

the trees are getting tired.... leaning WaY over  :-\

Couldn't open the passenger door on the truck this morning. I at least had the sense to go out last night and lift the wipers before it started to get too bad. Let the truck idle for about 15 mins while I got ready for work. Roads were no fun...

not so bad.........yet.

the wind has picked up, and the already bent trees are now being tossed around

we've had power dips for the past 12 hours or so...

right now, we've still got it  [thumbsup]

Yeah, windy down here too with a lot of icy trees. Hope you keep your power

Stay safe
Oz

You too Oz!

We've got power @ work  :-\

brilliant sunshine, 0*.

i for one was not impressed by the last storm....
whole lot of build up for not so much, here anyway.

They do that every time.

Try to get the skiers all excited.   :-\

maybe the one coming through tonight will be more impressive?

Meh. I'm not holding my breath.

25 and brilliantly sunny. 1-3 inches of snow predicted for tomorrow.

we are supposed to get 8-12 between tonight and tomorrow mid morning

Not supposed to be...really.

It is a southern storm...

just no rain.

Been snowing here since about 2:45. Never really heavy, just consistent...

edit-

Did I tell you guys I figured out how to raise the wipers on the wife's Passat?

Once the car is off, hit the wiper lever again and the wipe halfway and stop (all the way up, not back down). Then just lift them away from the glass...

snowed about 6 inches here.
still coming down.

we still have a storm warning but it has stopped snowing here  [thumbsup]

Stopped snowing late last night. But then the freezing rain came and turned all that nice fluffy snow into solid ice!

we ended up with a foot in my driveway. fluffy stuff, like what belongs on a ski slope.

Sure glad I raised the wipers last night. There was a think sheet of ice over the entire car....

You mean that stuff that blows away in like 3 hrs? ;D

you funny guy...
it all blows into my driveway :P

Weather in my kneck of the woods SUCKS!!!  Snow's about knee deep, and will probably be chest deep  before the end of winter!  Oh and last night it was a toasty -6 degrees!!!!!  Hopefully it warms up today, cause I gotta make some beer, and I gotta fire up the kettle outside!  I really wish my Monster had skis and not tires right now, at least I could get out and have some fun!

brew

welcome to northern New England.  ;)

It's getting chilly.

the oil guy just filled up my tank....i dont even want to look :P

It can't be as bad as last winter's prices...
Sucks having an oil tank with your name on it.

Was heating as expensive in OR?

i dont think so.
it was natural gas, piped into the house, so the bill came every month instead of whenever they fill the tank.

Should be nice tomorrow night Thurs am....


brrrrr.....

CT forcast of 0°F with a high of 16°F and snow on thursday  8)

We're supposed to get all the way to 9

Ummm, it's raining here now and supposed to drop well into the 20's tonight which means we'll have more ice in the morning...

welcome to the warm part of new england ;D

i can almost see the glaciers advancing down from canada

can you say Pellet Stove??? 

glad I've got 6tons in the garage, looks like I'm gonna need them...

no, but i can say rental house, with only a piss poor fire place for alternative heat.
no doubt about it, when buying a house, i will be on the lookout for alternative heat sources.

I NEED A 4WD TRUCK!

I was sick the past 2 days and didn't go to school. So, since my truck sat, I had ice build up behind my tires. Pulled in to a space normally but it was on a slight downward slope.

Long story short, it took me 15 minutes to get out of my parking spot today!

get some bags of tube sand for the back of your truck  ;)

you can break into them when traction is needed and the extra weight will be good too  [thumbsup]

I hear ya'!  Since I moved hear from CO with no job (my wife is the bread-winner) we decided not to buy yet, instead we(she) rented a 3500 square foot lake home with oil heat and a worthless/pretty to look at fireplace.  The first month oil bill was $400.  I was like WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!!!!!!!!!  Even last Jan in CO when we had a cold snap + Holidays + Xmas lights and all that extra this time of year crap...our entire utility bill (gas, water, wastewater, and electric was only $175!!!!!   This oil heat SUCKS!!!!  Or the fact that we are livining in a house that could easily handle the Brady Bunch!!!  Theres literally a whole other side of the house and basement (except for brewery) thats not used! I'd hate to see how much this place used if I wasn't a thermostat natzi!!!  Oh well I'm sure I'll appreciate the property and lakefron once it warms up.  Plus it will be a chill pad to have MOTOGP/SBK race day BBQ's and clambakes!  I'll quit pregnant dogin' for now, I just wish it's warm the F#%K up!!!!!

brew

Uhhhh, I have 5 60lb bags in the back now. No breaking into them since they are hard as a rock frozen...

Well I would drink myself silly before going to school, then pee on the ice to melt it!  Hey its just school, not like they are gonna fire ya'!  You pay to be there!!!!   [thumbsup]

brew   [drink]

Not quite. That'd be a Navy school he's going to. MUCH trouble for going to class drunk. And they pay him.

^

What he said. And when was the last time you went to school where 80% is minimum passing?


Yeah, going to school drunk would be a bad thing...

did that for the last 15 years..

okay, now it's cold.  the little thermometer outside says -20.

-24 here this am

it is officially make the beast with two backsing cold.

with a capital F  :o

balmy here this morning at 11 F

+11?  :o

LuCKY!!!!

YEAH!

i was thinking about washing the truck... [roll]

While you're at it...

mine's pretty dirty.

changed my mind.
if i wash it, it will just snow again sooner.

My coworkers say, this is the dirtiest they have seen my car... It's not pretty...

This weather just sucks. But I hear its going to be a balmy 30 on Sunday  [roll]

On a positive note, I went to the Ducati party in NYC last night it was a lot of fun. Ducati knows how to throw a cool shindig (Is that a word ? )

Oz

-5 this morning when I started the truck. It was a bit slower starting than usual and now my check engine light is on...

Shindig is definitely a word.

...probably sounds different in Italian though.

30 b'low the donut this mornin'
10 b'low now, don't think it was above all day.
the kids had half day at school, so me and the boy flooded the hockey pond.

Where you at?

Read his profile. He's in Maine...

...and up there...

'roostic county?

burrrrrr!

shoulda let canada have it :P

thats not that far up...thought for a second you were talking Caribou or something...

2 hours south of Caribou.
20 below this morn

sunny and -2°F

sunny

-18

do i win?

You are leading. ;D

Heatwave due tomorrow, 27.         [thumbsup]







And 4" of snow.  I've got to go fix my snow blower.  Long story and boring, continue at your own risk:

I have an attachment on my garden tractor.  46" wide!  That pregnant dog move the snow quickly!  With the right snow it will toss it 60'+.  But it's a craftsman and it's 8 years old.  Last week I was snow blowing.  Got to the last 6" and it stopped throwing snow.  Everything was moving; the engine, the drive belts, the pulleys but not the auger or the impeller?  Get into the garage and start looking it over!  Turns out to be the ear box connecting the drive belt to the impeller.  No problem, just go onto Sears' parts web page.  This is where I start having a problem.  I find the part but it's listed for almost $700.  $700?  I'll buy a new snow blower for that?  Call Sears and they confirm the price.  Now's not a good time to buy a new snow blower.

 At this point I have nothing to lose.  Go into the garage and dismantle the gear box.  I'm expecting to find a maze of complex bevel gears.  No.  All that was in there is two double sprockets and a broken double chain?  $700?  Called Sears and tracked down the manufacturer of the snow blower.  Agri Fab.  Ordered the chain for $14.  Now all I have to do is install it.   :) 

While speaking to the folks at Agri Fab, I found out the manufacture many outdoor power tools for companies like, Craftsman, MTD, Husqvarna, etc..... even John Deere.

This cold sucks... thats all  ;D

heat wave here
5 below no stars
the ice on the hockey pond is wicked hard

It's supposed to get up to 36 tomorrow! Woohoo!

It's also supposed to snow tomorrow. Booooooo

yeah, we are supposed to get 6-9 inches here

+5 and maybe an inch on the ground, with 8" or so in the forecast.

moved about 6 inches this morning...
another inch on the ground by the time i was done, and still coming

looks like about 5" down here in CT so far

We're getting pretty covered here as well. Had to shovel about 35 mins this morning at work. Laid down some salt and there was too much coming down for the salt to keep up...

i like this fluffy snow... is it fluffy on the coast too?

it snows in balls  [laugh]

Yup, big fluffy flakes. It's nice, they blow right off the car...

can't see the thermometer,it's covered in snow.
guesin' mid to low teens.
8" snow so far.
it's let up, was snowin' like the bastid..

www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com)

Put in your zip. There you go!

Well, it really came down this evening. We got about 6" accumulation here. But there's water dripping from the roof, even though it's below freezing. WTH?

heat loss into attic and, or poor attic ventalation.

more snow... on top of the other snow... i lost track...

We got another few inches on top of the 10 I shoveled earlier.

Let's call it a foot all told.

a foot of new snow added to what is already on the ground... how deep is the snow where you haven't shoveled...

3 ft? 4?

Probably 3

we ended up with about a foot total.
more where the wind drifts are...

looks like its time to scrape the roof off again.

you could loose zippy in that! :-\

Not to worry. He got one of these for Christmas.

(http://www.dunebuggy.com/assets/shopitem/large/11907487597778842-1.jpg)

 [laugh]

i would be worried about losing him if he got loose in that much snow...

 ;)
















 ;D

14" of snow in my driveway.. 17 degrees, acording to the weather service.
the thermometer is still covered with snow.
the driveway is cleared, the hockey pond is cleared, and the "MurderHorn" is looking great..
the kids haven"t been on it today. it will be slide, snowboard ready tomorrow.

Sleet falling now...

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

are you really superstitious?

it was 4 feet wide by 8 feet tall...and an antique to boot :-X

That counts as way more than just one  ;D

i know.....that was way back when i was about 10 :-\

 i think you'd be all set by now... no?  ;D

Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is herm we're talking about, not Nate.

jeezus... how many years of bad luck for a regularly sized mirror?

Actually...

being set...

is kinda relaxing.  8)

We warmed up to about 44 today. Walked around with a short sleeve shirt on! Woo Hoo...

Back in the cooler, -13 this morning but no wind

I wish you had.  -18 this AM   [roll]

wee hah.... [thumbsup]

in the teens this morning, supposed to snow tonight, turning into sleet/freezing rain by tomorrow afternoon. Fun!

brew

pretty sure someone warned you about moving from colorado to new england [thumbsup]

i grew up here, but lived in colorado for about 15 years............still cant figure out why i came back...

12" so far.  It looks like it's changing to sleet. 

I'll deal with it tomorrow morning.  I've got other things on my mind.............. [drink]

Roads here are all ice... should be a blast going out  [roll]

Same here. Rained all evening, got up to 45 degrees and melted a bunch of snow. Overnight temps dropped into the 20's...

nice thick ice crust layer on top of the 10 inches in my driveway this morning...
fun,fun,fun...

we got the same at my house only on top of 8 inches

don't you love walking in it? i think it feels weird, crunching through the snow, and then sinking...

I got 12-14 and no rain, but damn, the wind blew.

I have a decent amount of ice today, but creeping up near freezing melted a good amount of it...

must be nice living down on the coast  :)

my other rotty (the one thats still with me) was perplexed by the crusty lair. he walked around carefully on it,got comfortatble, and then dashed back toward to house.
immediately broke through, and looked like a seal bounding through arctic waters [laugh]

same here...

the snow was the kind that broke into blocks when shoveled.

14" to 16" here.


Both the snow blower and I didn't like moving it!


When's the next one coming?

tuesday (http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Goffstown&state=NH&site=BOX&textField1=43.0167&textField2=-71.6)

Just got a call from my plow guy...

he never finished up plowing so I was gonna shovel more.

He's coming up with his skid steer to clean up...make a little more room to shovel around the cars. [thumbsup]
farking snow.

I'd take snow over this mess:

It's funny how the camera can make things look worse than they really are.


What are we going to do when we get some real NH snow? 

where did that come from Dan?

Nice day today.

Put in your zip code, move the cursor on the map to where you want it.  Middle right on the page is a menu, hit hourly graph.  It's a great site, last year they were scary accurate, this season not so much.

nice...

except they say my location is the same as Trashland.

The report comes from one regional location but it changes for your specific location, dunno how they do it.

just type www.noaa.gov in your browser..

bright & sunny this morning  8)

a nice day as long as we stay inside

We're supposed to hit 41 today, mid 30's tomorrow and mid to low 20's the rest of the week...

that's break out the shorts weather  [laugh]

40's feels like 80's when it's been zero....

That's go test drive some new trucks weather...

It hit 40 or so today so I went out and about. Pretty sandy, slushy, and wet. Where are you spring?

about 2 or so months away.... ;)

Well if the groundhog doesn't see his shadow winter is all over tommorow right?  ;D

It's 8 degrees right now but it supposed reach 38 today!   ;D  And, at least for the next 10 days, no negative numbers even at night!

Yup...

and I'm Rex the wonder horse...  ;)

HOLY CRAP! It's supposed to start raining/snowing this evening and continue on until Wednesday morning!

Well WTF? It was supposed to start snowing at 6pm. Then it changed to 11, then 3am. Now it says 8am? What the hell is with the weather and the forecast?

The weather does what it wants...

and the weathermen don't have a clue.

It's one of the professions where being wrong most of the time doesn't matter.

It's starting to come down now!

got 2-3" sitting on the ground now. It's been pretty windy. Salt I put down isn't doin too much :-\

very winter like here..
light snow,, prob'ly wont amount to much,, cold 15 maybe.
just like winter supposed to be.

I have to go in an hour early tomorrow to help shovel around the building. OH YEAH, they bought us 2 new snowblowers to help the process along. Too bad they are powered by 100' extension cords and have freakin PLASTIC blades!!!

those sound useful... [roll]

just got done plowing with mike... the driveway is getting narrow  [laugh]

You need a skidsteer.

my cousin offered to lend me his bobcat. he lives in maine in the summer, and california in the winter. dont ask.......about that arrangement, or why he has a bobcat...
i woulda taken it if i had a place to store it.

My neighbor came by with his last week.

My driveway is huge dood.   ;D

the piles from last weeks ice event are hard as rocks... they don't seem like they are going anywhere...

i'd love a bobcat!

Well, the snowy weather is gone, so much for the forecast [roll]

it's zero... i'm done with winter already  :'(

You're complaining about the lack of snow?  [laugh]

I've stopped looking at the thermometer. [bang]

is that the secret to getting through it? denial?   [laugh] [thumbsup]

No...

It's cold...

It will end and be warm. ;D

thats because your windows are frosted over, and the door is frozen shut  :P

cold here too, and windy.

supposed to be about -10

No. I'm complaining about the lack of accuracy...

its a tough job to be a meteorologist in new england.
unlike arizona, there is a better than average chance that the weather is going to change (sometimes more than once in the same day) [thumbsup]

thanks coach  ;D [thumbsup]

Once you're under water it won't make the beast with two backsing matter...

just like now. ;)

It's winter....

It's cold and snowy and icy...

when it wants to be...

not when some clown on the tv forecasts it.

Welcome to New England. [thumbsup]

how can you be sure?

When I'm underwater, I won't be anywhere near here, and it will be DAMN cold 600' under...

Years of experience. ;)

Only if you decide to leave the boat.

Not usually a decision I would make!

But, you know how cold that water is?! You've heard of cunduction? Cold water against metal is going to make the metal cold which will make the air inside the sub cold...

High 40's this weekend! Who is ready!  ;D

oh thats right....
the older than dirt crowd has seen it all

 [bow_down]

I am's what I am's

popeye the sailor man?  ;D

That too. [laugh]

It's warm...

but we just had the freakiest freezing rain storm....

over now and warming back up. [thumbsup]

Up to 55 today! Wow, was gonna ride, but the roads were way too wet from all the melting snow. Then we got poured on for a bit. Problem is, overnight low is supposed to be in the 20's. All that melted shit is gonna be frozen shit tomorrow morning...

yeh,..expect some nasty weather later in the week

It's February...

what else would I expect?

yep.. the warm temps melted lots... and now it's all icy. careful out there.

Not icy here yet, temps are still above freezing...

You know that coastal weather...

we went into restaurant and there were puddles
we came out of restaurant and it was ice...

temp dropped FaST...

well, if this were a proper state (like colorado) you could expect a return to sunny 55 degree days. you know, jeans and sweat shirt weather..
occasional snow showers, with a likelihood of one more good dump in march...
and then straight into summer [thumbsup]

you're not in CO anymore Dorothy.... ;D

Yup, it's ice outside, despite the temperature still reading above freezing...

supposed to be 50s today!!!

i hope so... the oil company called to let us know they can't deliver  [bang]

why not?

too warm?

mother nature has been a pregnant dog  [laugh]

200lbs of ice melt and an hour of intense ice picking won't clear the 4 inches of permafrost at the bottom of the driveway.

they won't risk a spill, which i completely understand.

we probably have a weeks worth of oil left... so it's not that urgent.

we will sand after it rains this week, and call them immediately... hopefully it will be successful.

if not we'll be running some diesel  :-\

You just need a driver that knows how.... [roll]

that's what i said... but, i guess the last thing they want is their truck on it's side in the woods...  [laugh]

fixed it for  yah [thumbsup]

It was 48 degrees here today.

Nice day.

I enjoyed the "warm" weather today.

My enjoyment was somewhat tempered by the fact that I'm fairly certain that we'll see 0* F before the end of next week.

I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong.

It will get cold again...

not as cold as it's been though...

we're on the up side. ;)

We set records throughout the state. Groton hit around 56 although the news said New London hit 58..

58 was wonderful yesterday but the cold is coming again.  You can bet on it! 

How cold will it get?

Even if it gets really cold again, it's only for a few weeks at most!    ;)

Rained last night, it's in the high 40's now...

58   :o :o :o :o

I'm jealous.

Sun must have stayed out at your place.

The giant icicles came off the roof at 5 am and woke Z...

gonna be a long day.

giganticicles  ;D

My bad, typo, it was 48. 

58 would have been acceptable also! 

Guess what?  It's snowing!   ;D

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

'snot snowin' yet, 25*..
durring the day now, compaired to 3 weeks ago.. boy the sun is a  lot more intense.
ice is gone if front of the garage.
the snowmobile trails are nice and hard, just right for trail bikes. (not that i do that now)

we got 4"

We got rain, don't think the temp dropped enough for us to get snow last night. It's in the 40's now...

We've got slush. Yummy

lightly snowing, looks like an allday event and into the evning.
Todd says 4" to 8"

Still snowing here...

Josh says another few inches...

looks like about 6 so far.

It's clearing up here...

6" but melting nicely. 

We ended up with about 8-9"

SNOW, then again it is only Feb 19th and I don't expect anything else but the roads were bare on the weekend, I saw a HD cruising the neighbourhood and was hoping for the sound of birds.  Instead I get SNOW ........ thats it I"m moving anyone living somewhere warm all year round (warm = 50+C or 10C+) looking for a DBA?

 [bang]

we got 4 more last night

We got dusted...

looks like another inch or so here.

snowed here this mornin', same about an inch or so.

somebody said we're in for more on sunday..

I've heard that a couple of times today.

Oh boy    [roll]

New London CT this afternoon....more rain
Worcester MA at 6pm........sleet
I-93 to Manchester, NH.........make the beast with two backsin pigpile of car wrecks, stupid drivers, and snow.

twice cars ahead of me went spinning across the highway. nothing i could do to get out of the way. pure luck they missed me.

Uhhh, why didn't you post up that you'd be in the area? You literally drove within 2 miles of my house...

snowin' like the bastid
no totals yet, will venture outside later
guess a foot or so, can't see out the windows,
are covered with wind blown snow

Rained til about 10, then dropped below freezing. Had to pry the doors open this morning. Nice out today though...

16" of wet heavy snow.
took longer than normal to clean up
the snow paccked in the auger and wasn't making it to the impeller like it should.
so I drove the tractor back into the shop and warmed it back up.
sprayed some wax on the auger, went back out
worked a bit better, the snow still packed around the shaft of the auger tho not as bad
what usually takes to do the yard, most of the private road, the hockey pond,
and the Murderhorn.
only got yard and the road

I guess you're not one of the roughly 130,000 without power.  [thumbsup]

we have power

I don't hear you complaining. ;D

I heard on the radio that Baldacci (sp) had declared a state of emergency.

Not a surprise.

We lost power on base for a couple of hours, and I have friends out in town who still don't have juice.

Damned wet, heavy shit.  >:(

been a state of emergency since they closed the family resturraunt Mamma Baldacci's
the daughter and I would go there before the father daughter dance.
we had to go across town to Captain Nick's, we sat in the train car.

It was nice and sunny today, but cold, and very windy....

Feels more like January than almost March the past couple of days.

I'm guessing Dan is either still trying to push the stuff out of the way or is one of those without power.

Yeah, it's pretty cold here lately. Low 20's in the morning..

sunny and COLD.

beautiful day today, cleaned off the hockey pond.
went snowshoeing with the kids when they got home from school
(after they did their homework)

walked home from the bus stop this morn, looked at the house thought the wind blown snow
on the roof looked neat. thought I'd share. 2*
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3577/3310646678_cef7e8e71b.jpg?v=0)

Is Nate alive?

10+ in the driveway this morning.
still coming.

I'm not dead yet...

Yeah, but he ain't happy about the snow.

Neither am I for that matter. 3" yesterday, now another 8" or so and its still coming down.

At least its light fluffy shit.

tell me about it  [bang]

the driveway was just about free of permafrost... and now this  :(

I had to use my sandblasting shed last week.

The friggen snow is waist deep behind the barn...we don't need any more.

I'm so done with this winter shit. >:(

My snow boots aren't high enough to keep the snow off my pants!

you need some snow pants for those occasions  ;)

Or gaiters. They work really well.

They just look kinda silly.

i've got a pair of those too (outdoor research)

a fashion statement they are not...
they do work well on winter treks with hiking boots though  [thumbsup]

Sitting by the stove in the living room works better.

I wear a pair when I go do snow removal at the command. That way I can just wear jeans, but not have to worry about the bottom half of my legs getting soaked and then freezing.

 [laugh]

i've been to your house in winter... you were wearin' a hat... inside  :)

Your point would be? ;D

I have them, was just in a hurry this morning trying to get the truck cleaned off. Just for them to call right afterwards and tell me the base is closed...

you were perhaps hiding your pink hairdo?  :-\ ;D

it surely wasn't cold near that woodstove, that thing cranks   [thumbsup]

Just shoveled the front steps. Snow was up to the bottom of the second step...

(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j135/JoshFan1980a/DSC06547.jpg)

...or bedhead. ;)

 [laugh] i knew it  [clap]

Hey...

It was morning. ;D

...and it's a cute hat  [laugh]

It's a Bula.

i'm guessing it was a gift...

can't see you taking a ski holiday

T bought it for me when I lost my favorite hat.

I have 2 of them now...

and you're right...I don't ski.

she has great taste in hats

where has she been anyway?
you aren't making her shovel, are ya?

We only got 4".  Not even worth shoveling. 

But it's cold.  I've had it with the below 20 degree days. 

She's still shoveling from the last storm.... :P

Actually she's working on my website.

so she's workin' for you today  [thumbsup]

well, we officially got 9.5", but more than that at my place. I'd say right around a foot. It stopped for a couple hours then started back up again. Maybe 1-2" accumulation since then with no end in sight...

it's so windy here, the paths i shoveled earlier are drifted back over  [bang]

I hope this was the last 0 degree morning for the season........... [beer]

I'll drink to that. [thumbsup]

ya but the ice on the duck pond is so nice
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3122/3261525819_63bb97dfdb.jpg?v=0)

Ray Charles...

Man, you guys have had some real crap weather since the last time I checked in.   [laugh]

It must be spring here already, the pine grosbeaks have already moved north and some sparrows are back.  Poor little make the beast with two backsers are gonna freeze solid tonight.   :-X

oh no this is the best winter evah!

is everyone's snow looking as pitiful as ours?

the snow banks have melted WaY down
i think we are down to the christmas layer,
i see trimmings from the tree sticking out  [laugh]

You need some to dress things up?

windy as shit here last night....cold today

you can keep your snow  ;)
i'm all set  [thumbsup]

Ours usually melts before we get hit again. Not always and not all the way, but close to it...

Snow is gone here on the north shore... For the most part

nice enough for the first ride of the season!

 ;D

Uhhhh, it's been shitty here. Rain, Rain, Rain. But, in the forecast is..........Rain!

We had a really nice afternoon here. I think it broke 50.

Got home from work, grabbed a book and a cigar and went outside.

...and 20 minutes later a fog rolled in and it dropped like 15 degrees.  [roll]

I hear the spring peepers  ;D

Ugh! I know!

Damned loud-ass birds! Chirping while I'm trying to sleep.

Inconsiderate bastids!  >:(




 ;)

60 and sunny here all afternoon 8)

beautiful day today...but also very windy.
prolly a good thing the bike is in the shop.

Windy, rain, thunderstorms...

Rain...

flood watches in effect.

They make such a big deal about thunderstorms here. In AZ, if it's raining, it's because of a thunderstorm...

Thunderstorms are not the norm in the northeast in April.

it's snowing!?!?

<rubs eyes>

yup. it sure the hell is....

why does it feel like late october... :P

dude.... rake your yard   ;)

ahh...spring. ;D

thats it!..........

i knew there was something wrong.

i had hoped that the wind on the hill here would take care of the leaves, but no. guess i will have to mow through them when the grass starts to grow.

we got some flurries here yesterday afternoon... WTF?

keeps getting better...huh?

April fools?  :P

Shhhhhhhhh....

it's not raining

you jinxed it....
big time thunderstorm down here this evening

big thunderstorms here too last night...

I did not...

no storm here. ;D

ok, ........jinxed me then. i thought i was gonna get lit up and burned down last night.
had another one today, as i was driving home from Epsom (cage, thank dog!) not so much lightning this time, but rain in biblical proportions. econo cars and old ladies getting washed of the road everywhere.

Rainy...



p.s. no posts in this board for nine days, must be winter...

winter wonderland here [drink]

I was thinking the same...

some sort of frozen stuff outside this afternoon/evening.

Seems to have stopped.

I'll look in the am.

Forecast calls for above freezing lows for the next few days, but Thursday calls for a low of 16....

the pond is solid but the ice is to ruff to play hockey with the kids.
 but.. the 'murderhorh' is shaping up real well.
our 6yr old boy was ketchin' some wicked air on his sled.

Currently 13 and falling, windy as hell all day. Never got above 20...

it's 8°F on the thermometer

Down to 11 now. We're supposed to get down to 9 and -7 with windchill....

Supposed to be in the 40's all week...granted were also supposed to get 6 inches of snow tomorrow [bang]

Heres to $2 Guinness at Rira  [drink]

But it's the first snow in a while. ;D

This is true, but since I havent been able to ride my bike that I bought 2 weeks ago...TO HELL WITH WINTER!

You'll have to make hay when the sun shines. ;D

it's snowing here this morning... big fluffy snow
forecast is 3-6"... we'll see about that...

 Stupid rain!!! BBLLAAHHHHHH!!!!! One nice week and then the temp drops to 40 from 60 and now buckets of rain falling for days straight!!! SWEET!  [bang] oh well! Back to the bar!  [wine]

 [beer]  Looks like 70 this weekend!!! Bottoms up!!

Warm enough to ride to and from work every day  8) [Dolph]

Partly cloudy & in the mid 40's.
