Grabbed these shots just before dusk as the snow got serious. 12:00PM dismissal from local schools today because of it.
Some bush out front:

Nice beverage placement there, Punx!
Not as pretty as the ones above, but this is one I snapped this afternoon, as I dug a path from my garage to the street for the first ride of 2011:

More. Woke up to 9" of snow this morning.

Steep hill + all-season tires + plowing with the bumper = no more forward progress

Snow is more pretty when it's rare. Good composition on some of those!
Waiting for spring, so I might run my bike more than 5 minutes once every few weeks.
Alabama, last night and today. This global warming is a pregnant dog. :D

What part of 'Bama?
I remember a couple snows like that at Ft Rucker back in the late '80's.
Where is Al Gore to shovel all that global warming out of your driveway? [roll]

Those pics are from outside of Anniston, but most of the State got it.

I was out yesterday with still a couple inches of snow/ice pack on the main roads and saw a scooter out ~

Yes. I have been ready. A few more months!
Whiners.
Come see me in MN. [cheeky]
I'm too damn lazy to go take a pic. ;D
But there's gotta be at least 18" on the level everywhere, more where it's drifted.
Well I haven't had time to really post much lately, but just before Christmas we had a little storm roll through my neck of the woods. (Mammoth Lakes, Ca.) At my house we got somewhere in the neighborhood of about 8 feet. On the mountain we got something like 12-18 feet depending where you looked. This came in about 5 days. I've lived here for some big storms, but this was nuts. Personally I enjoyed it quite a bit, but that wasn't the case for everyone. If I can figure out how to get some pictures off my phone I'll put em up.

Just got back from 4 days of glorious skiing at Whitefish, Mt. This is a pic going up the lift. This was the best four days I've had in the last 20 years. Awesome!!!

Nice! [thumbsup]
I really need to start skiing again. Need new gear though. I loaned my stuff to my bass player about 10 years ago, never saw him or my gear again. [thumbsdown]

In some respects, he did you a favor -- gear has gotten a whole lot better in the past decade. [thumbsup]
Let me fix that for you...

I priced some decent mid-level gear last night. (http://d26ya5yqg8yyvs.cloudfront.net/eek7.gif) I think I'll just rent. I could buy a used dirt bike for that kind of money.
And so I don't get accused of threadjacking... here's a really shitty pic of my driveway a couple days ago. 24 hours before it was 50 degrees and I was riding. It was in the low 20's in this pic.
And sorry for the pic quality. My iso was on 80 and the pic came out almost smurf blue, so I changed it to b&w.

^^^ Bike makes a sad face. Left mine out for a couple of days last year and got this. We don't get anything impressive enough to photograph :)

Famous last words^^^ 10 inches overnight.

That's what she said.
Finally got around to getting a few picks off my phone.
Before the storm rolled through there was maybe 1-2' on the side of the road.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/IMAG0114.jpg)
We where on the hill for about four hours and that was the amount my buddies truck got covered in.

Someone got screwed by the blower.

I knew my sled was under there somewhere.

A friend working on digging out after it was all over.

Time for some fun.

I would post some pics...
But we have no snow here. :-\
