OK, I thought we were done with this.

We had some snow yesterday, it was mostly gone by afternoon. Woke up to this today. Come on up Richard, we'll grab a couple of sleds and go for a blast!

 

[John ED Renstrom]

did you see the bow I put on when I wrapped it up and set it to you

 

[Denny Shira - Deceased - 1951 - 2020]

Sorry Ed, The bow was buried under all the snow. Really, this is not all that unusual for the first week of April. We had a really mild winter this year :thumbsup:

 

[Ron Devies]

We had it too.

We got it too, but it looks like you got a little more.

 

[Richard Vyse]

Ya'll got to stop, you're killing me. Mackinac Island got hit as well. It did get down to 60 last night here but still needed A/C.

 

[Wayne Krakowski]

Oh Richard, a few more years of global warming and you will be sending us pictures of the snow,but you gotta be here for the windchill the ice scraping and having yourself caked in snow you just swept off the roof of your vehicle.

 

[Darren Bedford]

Toronto got the same s**t !

My tulips are 6" out of the ground already.
I'm sure the crocuses are dead now.

At least we are all above the ground not under the snow !!!

My buddies dad passed away Friday and my neighbor today.

I'll take the snow,
Darren

[Ken Elliott]

OK, I thought we were done with this

April 8, 1973, I was working for an ambulance service in Washington, Iowa, we had just taken the snow tires off the ambulances and then had the worst blizzard of the entire Winter. April 27, 1973, I moved to Florida and have been here ever since!

 

[Terry Lange]

Ken, I'll never go back to that nonsense, either!!

 

[Kurt Arends]

....... and we will let you guys keep Arizona and Florida! You guys can have that insanity!

 

[John ED Renstrom]

only a fool removes the snow tires on a rig like that. winter will be here soon enough. went to AZ for my grand fathers Birthday one April. made a snow man in this front yard. that must have been in about 76. flew out to calf one November. woke up to snow on the palm trees. with more work, to do out side because after all it was southern calf. that must have been around 2006 or 7.
they shipped me off to San Diego for boot camp in 1967 we were standing out side in in formation watching snow spit around us. the Filipinos went ape over it. my future wife came out to see me and my location in jun of 2001. there was 6 inches of snow up at Custer that year. she married me any way.

I have seen snow in Texas, freezing rain in Los Angeles. mud puddles frozen over in Fl so hard you could walk on them. snow in Atlanta Ga. one January in the late 90s. growing up here in SD I had way more brown Christmases then white ones.

so don't talk to me about climate change I have lived threw it. been hearing about polar Ice caps melting and NYC going under or Calf cracking off and falling in to the water since I can remember. still waiting for the improvement to start. but this is the first time they have figured out how to tax me for what the forest fire just north of us is putting out. so there are still some first in life. all that for a one deg clime in 100 years.

yes today in south Western SD it was 71 deg f. tomorrow the wind picks up Just what the fire fighters need. but the temps are to drop in the high 40s. so tell me Just how much CO2 will 1300 acres of pine trees produce. as of today it was only 10% contaned

-21 Celcius this morning... again just like yesterday (-6F for you from the south). I think I have an overdose and seriously thinking to buy a gallon of gas instead of using my shovel. The city snow blowers made some mountains still 8-10 feets high I just can't believe we will be in shorts and T shirt in 2 months.

 

[Doug Lemon]

I'm sorry, but I live in Sydney Australia and I have NO idea what this thread is about.

[John ED Renstrom]

Doug just keep moving south you began to understand or go up to Mt Beauty. the other life will start coming back to you

[Ron Devies]

The thing that grinds my grist is, one night we get a little snow and they salt the s+#t out of the roads. It had just gotten washed off where I could drive my cars on it.

 

[Wayne Krakowski]

Funny,in the greater Toronto area the private snow removal contractors contract ended March 31st. then came the snow and as the Ontario Provincial Police responded to over 500 crashes in under 24 hours,Honestly Darren is the only Torontonian I know who can drive in it.

I remember those days Ron. While living in the funeral homes in Flint I would wash my car every single night in their garage only to get 1 block down the road and "BAM" making no difference at all.

Worse yet is the liquid pre-treat crap that they dump on the roads and bridges every time there is the least threat of frost! Every inch of your car turns white and that crap blows like you are in the midst of a dust storm!
