Default The winter that just won't end !!!

The view off my back deck. There were a few bikes out yesterday. They're burried now. 4" - 8" today. I want to kill something.

Ahh, but one sunny day and can all be gone. That's why I don't mind March snow much. Besides, in Minnesota, this is the only time we can make snow people.

You have a nice place. Go get some dirt bikes and teach that snow a lesson by roosting it everywhere.

Visit WI or MN for a week in winter, especially this one and you will be good for the rest of your life.

Spent four days skiing in New Mexico, I'm good for a year or so. I can see how months of that would get old real fast.

I love the early winter, first snow. Everything is clean, air is fresh and at night everything is lit up, especially me on weekend nights.

I know how you guys feel about winter. We had 2 days of snow this winter. In fact 2 days in a week this month. First time about 2 inches lasted all of 12 hours on the ground the second time 6-8 inches lasted all of 36 hours. It was on my roof for at least 3 days (the part of the roof that was shaded from the sunlight).Boy has it been rough.

My back yard still has a good 12" near. The ground is frozen by 9 pm and sloppy mud by 11 am.

Wow Paul.....that DOES look like Christmas time...and it's almost April!

It's still cold here but we don't get any more snow and it's ok during the daytime. It only gets really cold at night.

Is that normal for this time of the year where you live, or is it really unusual that you get that much snow?

Brrrrrrrrrr............

Sometimes.

Before this snow day, we had reached the 4th most snow in a season in recorded history. I usually like the snow, I'm thoroughly sick of it this year though.
