Snow much?

[ceningolmo]

It's a sad state of affairs here in Jenison, MI. The snow has done nothing but come down harder since I took these pictures an hour ago...

My poor Q45's!!!!!

[CrimsonQ]

Global warming my - we even had a blizzard here in South Carolina this morning! Of course, work and school was delayed or canceled... and I may not leave the house today. It turned to rain a few minutes after this picture was taken - so it's all gone now. I'm sure the grocery stores are out of milk and bread now

Thats what you call a blizzard?

It's not?

This is the first snow we've seen for a few years. Anyone who has lived in the south for a year or two will get my reference to empty shelves at the grocery store. Anytime snow flakes show up on the 7 day forecast, it is an absolute duty of every Southerner to go to a grocery store and stock up!

What is really funny about that is how different it is from up here. People don't go stock up unless... well... they don't. They just don't go stock up.

I actually have pictures of me when I was about 4 years old during one of the real big blizzards of the Winter of '78. No one could drive because the snow was so deep...so, my dad just piled me and my little sister on to a tobaggon and towed us down the main street of town to the grocery store. We had pictures on the way home with me at the back, my sister at the front, and about 5 bags of groceries stacked on the sled in between us. We were in the middle of the road with my dad about thigh deep in snow pulling us back to the house.

[Q451990]

No doubt... the real concern here during snow is that no one knows how to drive in it... and we don't have snow plows. So an inch of snow that sticks results in overturned SUVs, sliding and slipping, and general mayhem.

I have a good friend that lives in the NYC area that I won't visit between October and April 15th or so... just because I don't want to deal with the weather. I went up one year around Easter and woke up to him walking through the living room giggling like a schoolgirl. I thought I had been talking in my sleep or something until he opened the blinds and there was three inches of snow on the ground! It amazed me how things just went along as normal... even his apartment parking lot had been plowed!

I guess we pay for our winters in the summer with weeks of 95F+ weather with 80% humidity.

Global warming my

I think we must be getting the global warming here.

We are on level 3 water restrictions, this drought is a killer

[ceningolmo]

I'll ship you some water. Water is free, all you have to do is pay for the shipping.

How much would you like? I can melt all the snow in my lawn... that's probably worth a few gallons. Plus, I can empty out Lake Michigan if you need me to.

They're saying the snow we got here in Denver this winter is worse than its been since like 1913. The problem as stated is no one knows how to deal with the stuff on the road. Usually when it snows here the sun comes out that afternoon and a couple of inches are melted by the drive home. Its usually 45-60 degrees throughout most of the winter in Denver. Growing up in Chicago, I'm lucky I was raised driving rear wheel drive cars in pure ice and snow conditions.

[Q_SHIP]

My Q actually does pretty well in the snow. A little weight in the trunk, a set of blizacks, and the TCS on and I'm good to go.

[NyRider]

overhere in roc,ny snow is a normal thing I think we have the craziest weather 3 inches 22F one day non stop rain 55F the very next day. When my street freezes I love gunning the pedal and whipping my back end when im turning into my driveway

[FarFetched]

If you want to experience traveling on the road during a snow fall, I don't call snow storm a snow storm unless it blowing 50-60MPH and below 0 degrees, come to state of Washington in particular Seattle where people buy so-called crash boxes (SUV) and don't know how to use 4X4 function when needed. Thus abandoning their SUV when a snow flake falls on a windshield! Freaking out when suddenly sun comes out or the rain wets the pavement!I grew up in a snow-country, I respect it, I love it. I have a lot of fun driving in snow!I want to go to Minnesota and live there, but my wife can survive the cold I can.

People loose their connection with NATURE - it is SCARY!

Stock up on FOSTER beer man! I heard about Australia! It is SAD news! I dream on going to the OUTBACK - one day I will! Cheers!

My poor Q45's!!!!!

Well.. got another 14" today including 30-40mph winds for most of the day. The snow in the above pictures are a mere dusting compared to what I have now. I'll post up some pics tomorrow... it's ridiculous.

[Q451990]

I'm trying to talk a buddy in to a trip trip to Vegas, or somewhere warm because our forecast shows us below 50F, with lows in the 20s for 10+ days - unacceptable!

Got another 6" overnight. Supposed to get between 4-8" more during the day today. Currently 2 degrees outside. Winds are supposed to get up to the 15-25mph again today...so, more drifting.

This probably the most snow I can remember in a long time. Might be the worst snow since 1978 when a huge blizzard snowed everyone in.

I took some pics... but, they don't show much since it's basically just a flat, white, blanket of snow in every direction you look. I'll post them up in a little bit.

The Green Q after I pulled it in to the garage last night.

Me doing some light shoveling

Me doing some heavy shoveling

Looking North on my street.

Looking south on my street... with my idiot neighbor waving like a moron as he tries to snow blow his driveway. You'll notice the red thing sticking out of the snow at the bottom of the picture. That is actually a 3' marking stake to tell the road crew where the edge of the road is. I'm betting by this evening they won't eve be able to see it.

My driveway... mostly shoveled.

Looking south on my street again. This time without my idiot neighbor.

Front walkway in to my house.

[maxnix]

Way to much frosting on that cake!

Only 65° here today. Might go watch a baseball game.

[elwesso]

There isnt enough internal combustion on that shovel. WHERES THE SNOWBLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, its always fun to watch an angry little midget shovel snow....

[ceningolmo]

Way to much frosting on that cake!

Agreed. Pictures don't do it justice... it's like there is a hugely thick white blanket over our whole neighborhood.

There isnt enough internal combustion on that shovel. WHERES THE SNOWBLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I traded in my shovel for a phone. I called the guy down the street who does snow plowing... he came by and finished up the work for me. My snow blower doesn't work...damned thing is older than I am. I'd buy another one... but, I could buy another Q for roughly the same price.

My parents are back home from Florida for the week... so I needed to create a spot for them to park as well.

Also... it's still snowing! Talking about another 3" overnight tonight. All the locals schools had already canceled for tomorrow by about 4PM today. I've got no idea how I'm going to get to work tomorrow.

I'll load up some more pictures tomorrow. Iserve isn't working for me tonight.

[BadQ45t]

Good lord guys, today in the Bay Area region of California we rode our bikes in shorts and tee shirts, of course it got a little nippy around 5pm and I had to put on a long sleeve shirt...but than again LA hit 80.

You know it is not global warming, it is more global climate change, but either way I pay 5X to live in California and it is worth it...good luck, I'll bein the snow with my X-Terra on thursday night, but of course my skis will be on the roof

At least you only got a dusting ...

THAT'S what I call snow storm "been passing here"!
