Kay, you better have the city of Auburn send one of those "things that clear the streets" up here ASAP before it gets up to my ankles!!!!

If only I could see some snow, maybe that will get me into the holiday spirit. Anybody want to trade some snow for a palm tree?

Is it really snowing there? Sorry, but we don't have any of those things that clear the
streets.

I can send you a Zamboni. Will that help?

Well, if Kay doesn't have any I'm sure you can use ours. It doesn't look like we'll have snow here anytime in the near future. (I'm using reverse psychology, as I'm looking forward to snow)

It is 36 and raining with a slight wind - they say it feels like 30.

Oh, you poor thing, being without snow and all. It's snowing and blowing like crazy here. I'm already up to my bahonka in snow and it shows no signs of stopping soon. (Granted, my bahonka isn't all that far from the ground to begin with, but still.....ha!)

It's snowing here, too. We're supposed to get somewhere between 6 and 12 inches of it by late tomorrow afternoon. It's gonna look a lot like Christmas!

I've seen nary a trace of snow, but I'm still snuggled up in my goosedown bathrobe.

If I lived in a colder place, I'd need two -- and another big dog.

Did you think I was pulling your leg?

Yes it was snowing. I drove in it on the way home in the morning. It only accumulated in small patches thankfully, but I'm sure it would have shut the entire South down for a week.....

Oh. I thought it was the silverflakefactory snow. You're talking about the real thing.

For sure it would have shut down Auburn. Atlanta had 5 inches of snow a few years ago
when I was trying to get back from NYC. I ended up flying into Birmingham so I wouldn't be delayed 3
days!

Ace's infamous "taping my watch" phrase was coined thanks to a snow "storm" of a couple inches in Atlanta in December 2000....

We had a bunch of rain in my neck of the woods. But it was like 65 degrees so there was no chance whatsoever of snow. There were banks 12 feet high where they had plowed the roads, but they were banks of sand. "The Inn at Rodanthe" AKA Serendipity is inaccessible, even via the feeder road, unless you can climb up the sandhill. It's only 1.2 million dollars if you want a semi-famous house that's in need of repairs and in danger of sliding into the Atlantic any day! A real bargain!

That must have been one heck of a sandstorm!

It was two back-to-back Northeaster-type storms that always overwash the road. They really really really need to build a longer bridge to bypass Pea Island because the road there gets closed frequently, but long-term planning gets shouted down in favor of the quick solution. Either way, they need a new bridge to the island but the odds are in favor of a new short bridge instead.

The storms were last month but the money isn't there for sand removal. Just road-clearing.

Talk about a bridge to nowhere...

Oh, you poor thing, being without snow and all. It's snowing and blowing like crazy here. I'm already up to my bahonka in snow and it shows no signs of stopping soon. (Granted, my bahonka isn't all that far from the ground to begin with, but still.....ha!)

We got about three inches, and I'm guessing that Fan didn't get a lot more, unless she's in some kind of favored snow zone. Anything's possible over there . . .

Ours is melting as we speak.

When I went out to shovel, it was 7-8 inches, but the sun was already dropping it down. (Yes, 24 hours of blowing snow and freezing temperatures is followed by deep blue sky, warm temps and the sun beating down brightly. Welcome to Colorado, folks!)

Whenever a storm comes from the east (and most of them do), we get a lot more than Denver or Pueblo because the storm hits up against Pikes Peak and then dumps on us. Similar to the Albuquerque Low (although those give us several feet really fast).

I learned something today -- I can knock off for the day (as my dear sainted mother used to say).

I thought that virtually all Colorado storms came in from the West, or maybe the polar express from the northwest or the big dumpers from the southwest -- the ones that come off the ocean from Southern California.

I did not know it was likely for y'all's storms to come off the plains and run up against the 14,000 foot brick wall that is Pikes Peak and sit there on top of you. OK, 8,000 foot brick wall (more or less, depending on how you measure the base elevation).

Yep, I once got a foot of snow each of the three days of Memorial Day weekend.

Like Sprots, I didn't know you rec'd most of your storms from the east. I am impressed that the ones from the south have a cool name! LOL
