Can't quite get past 58F at the beach today, and yes, there was snow
at the beach (Huntington Beach), at least once in the past 5 years.

AUG 12
Moved to our new home in Pennsylvania. It so beautiful here.
The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them
with snow covering them. I love it here.

OCT 14
Pennsylvania is the most beautiful place on Earth. The
leaves are turned all the colors and shades of red and
orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful mountains and
saw some Deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the
most wonderful animals on Earth. This must be Paradise, I
love it here.

NOV 11
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting
to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I
love it here.

DEC 02
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed
in white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and
cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We
had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snowplow came by,
we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place,
I love Pennsylvania!

DEC 12
More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick
again to the driveway. I love it here.

DEC 19
More snow last night. Couldn't get of the driveway to get to
work. I am exhausted from shoveling. Friggin snowplow.

DEC 25
Merry Friggin Christmas. More friggin snow. If I ever get
my hands on that son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I
swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use
more salt on the road to melt the friggin ice.

DEC 27
More white crap last night. Been inside for three (3) friggin
days except for shoveling out the driveway after that
snowplow goes through everytime. Can't go anywhere, car's
stuck in a mountain of white crap. The weatherman says to
expect another 10 inches of white crap again tonight. Do you
know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?

DEC 28
The friggin weatherman was WRONG. We got 34 inches of that
white crap this time! At this rate, it won't melt before next summer.
The

snowplow got stuck up the road and the bastard came to the door and

asked to borrow my shovel.
After I told him I had broken six (6) shovels already shoveling all
the crap he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one over his
friggin

head.

JAN 04
Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food
and on the way back a damned DEER ran in front of the car and I
hit it. Did about $4,500 damage to the car. Those friggin beasts
should

be shot on sight. Wished the hunters had killed them all
last November.

MAY 03
Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing
is rusting out from all that friggin salt they put all over the road.

MAY 10
Moved to California. I can't imagine why anyone in their right
mind would ever live in that god-forsaken state of Pennsylvania.

I'll take snow over all kinds of other winter weather. All I have to do
with snow is plow it off the driveway and ice rink. If I happen to be out
early enough in the day, the sun takes care of whatever the plow doesn't
get.

You guys in the northeast have gotten way more than your share. It would
be interesting to have that much snow once, but I'm in no hurry to
experience it.

Folks visiting us in Las Vegas (Henderson) had difficulty grasping
that our other place (a cabin on Mt. Charleston) had a totally
different climate. Less than 55 minutes door to door, we could
leave the cabin in a blizzard and arrive at our other house in
Henderson with snow still on the car, but in 70f temps. It was
great explaining to people that we couldn't be "there" (wherever
that might be) due to a blizzard snowing us in.

Did I hear they were trucking in snow for the Olympics?
I did look at Accuweather.com for Vancouver and did not see where it got
down to or below freezing for the next 15 days. All those days with
precipitation in the forecast called for rain or showers.
Maybe at the higher altitudes . . . .

Well of course - I live where we get the snow and you guys get the
publicity. I'm a half hour north of Syracuse. We're on the edge of the Tug
Hill Plateau. Get a little further north of us and they really get blasted,
but we're on the edge of the blast. Normal around here is that by February,
the snowbanks are up to the stop signs. Go a bit further north (oh maybe...
10 miles or so), and that happens a month earlier. This year - not even
close.

So far this season we've officially had 63.1". The average seasonal
total snowfall for this date is 69.9" so we're slightly below normal.
The record was 199.4" for the 1976 - 1977 season (Blizzard of '77).

Officially Buffalo hold the state record at 199.4" but Rochester, NY and
Syracuse, NY normally get more snow than Buffalo. The Syracuse average
is 121.1" and Rochaster's average is 100.3"

Unofficially the Buffalo weather station where the measurements are
taken is at the airport which is in Cheektowaga, NY. I've had 4' of
overnight snow at my home in the south part of Buffalo and the official
measurement at the airport, about 10 miles east of me, was about 5".
Lake effect snow storms are like that.

Aw, I feel for you guys - NOT. Suck it up. At least you guys don't
have to deal with that shit all winter, every winter. I do. I'd move
if I could. Since I can't I'll deal with it and not complain. The

Nope not too far at all. We're a bit less than half way between Syracuse
and Watertown. Actually once you get to Watertown, you're pretty well out
of the snow belt. It starts a little south of us and runs to about Adams
Center or so.

Funny thing this year - one of our daughters lives in Philly and they
actually have now beaten Syracuse for snow fall as of this week's snow. And
they got theirs pretty much all at once. They're not at all prepared for
that.

Then of course there's the youngest daughter down in Dallas, who sent us
pictures of 12" of snow that fell pretty much overnight. Talk about not
prepared for that kind of stuff...

We only got about 5 inches of snow today. In this part of the country,
we are far behind what we normally have for snow at this time. I
think we are only at 23" for the year. Luckily it has stayed south of
us.

I think that is about right for Nova. Where I live we usually get between
20-30 feet. I don't know the official measurement, but it's under 100
inches.

Would you folks who live in the Mid-Atlantic and who took all our snow
please give it back? Here I Michigan, we are way below normal snow fall.
Even with the six inches that fell yesterday but we are still at less that
half of our normal snow fall for this time of winter season. If this
continues, it could translate to low water levels in our lakes and rivers.

Don't you usually get about ten feet of snow each winter? What is it so far?
We normally have about 48" at this time of the season and are at less than
half that.

I'd be happy enough with a few snow days in London ON where the snow
usually passes to the north or south of us. Not that we don't have some
snow, but I like the way it muffles sound.

The weird thing is that the cold has moved South but the area between
the shore ice and pack ice above the Arctic Circle is open enough for
research vessels to continue sailing.

...according to one of the researchers, that's never happened before.

The Northeast has a habit of fairly big dumps (BD) every once in a while.
Most winters there is at least one BD. This year a few areas have gotten
a BD more than once, and rather close together. Then it ceases to be
fun, especially if the power goes out.

For me, today was alright (in North Jersey we didn't get anything of that
first BD DC received 5 days ago). Today I didn't feel the need to go
commute into NYC, it wasn't cold (right around freezing), and while
heavy, the snow shoveled well enough. But it would not be fun if we got
another BD in a few days ...

I think the Hawaii is the only state without snow, but in any case,

I told a fellow the other day "The next person who says this is such a
pretty snow is gettin' punched. We have had a glacier at the end of
our driveway since mid December from continuous removal and piling.
But I cannot imagine what you folks are going through. We have had
about 25 inches in SE Kansas this winter which is a lot. You guys
have well exceeded that in days.

Good Luck and keep the fridge full of beer.

Three years ago we had a 36" snowfall in our yard followed by 24"
about a month later, in addition to the little 4"-6" stuff every few
days. We only had 5" last year and haven't had *any* this year. ;-)

The snow is just the grease for the icebergs. It is time for another
ice age. Global warming will heat up the burgs, then they will slide.

All this bitching about snow... THIS is SNOW!

http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2010/02/lots-of-snow.html

I heard that yesterday as well. What state does not have snow is what I
did not hear? Hawaii has snow on top of the some of the volcanic mountains.

Yeah - I'm not either. I've only plowed three times this winter, and of
those I really only needed to plow once. But it sure has been cold this
winter. January was a beast. We can get a hell of a lot of snow in
February, but this year I think Lake Ontario cooled down enough during
January that we just may not see a lot of February snow. It would not hurt
my feelings to see an early spring this year.

Your paper is wrong. Mauna Kea on the Big Island has snow pretty much year
round. LOTs of snow this time of year.

One reason I moved to Alabama, from Vermont, though the 75% reduction
in my property tax was incentive enough. ;-)

I feel your pain. I just finished shoveling another two inches of global
warming off of my driveway. Three inches yesterday. Eight inches last
Saturday.

According to my morning newspaper, Hawaii is the only one that doesn't have
snow on the ground anywhere right now.

It's the waxing that bothers him ...

Start designing a delivery system - e.g. like those used to fill Silos!
Wood transits a tunnel to the local crib. House end has the switch.
Auto hopper on the far end - e.g. a silo.

We expect hours of ice and then snow on top. My porch crib is full.

So, which was it that drew you there, Lew? The mudslides, the
earthquakes, the droughts, or the bikinis?

The bikinis are one of the very few things I miss from LoCal.

In Toronto over the last couple of days, we've had 3-5 centimeters.
Considering the total snowfall we've had this winter, that's a lot.
We're on course for a record minimal amount of snow this winter. I
think it's great.

Used to be that winter was good for throwing a few snowballs and
cooling off my beer. Not enough snow for either of those things this
winter. Might even make me rethink my moving down south somewhere when
I win the lottery. When I do, you're all invited to the party.

Read elsewhere that even Hawaii is getting snow on one of its highest
peaks. That would make 50/50

The "snow belt" generally starts about 6 miles (10KM) from the lake.
