 |
|
Not sure about anyone else but we're going to get 2 feet of snow tomorrow. We've gotten over 40" of snow in January. This is the most snow since 2005 where we got 38" and in 1996 we got 34" on average. I can already see it cutting into my bus driving time in the spring. How much snow is everyone else getting? What's an average out west? In Mass we usually get a lot lake effect snow, but this year its all been coming from the south?  thanks a lot global warming.

Might as well thank the Easter bunny pall  . Life is tough enough without letting the man make you believe in the boogy man.
That said I work on snowmobiles so I'm diggin the irony.

We are bracing for 16" starting in the morning. May not seem like a lot but for Oklahoma is Snowmageddon? Snowpocalypse? A lot of damn snow. I'll be thinking warm thoughts for everyone in this mess!

While on the front range of Colorado we've only had about 7" total between 2 storms so far. The first storm storm with measurable accumulation didn't occur until late December. While the high country in CO is having the best snow season ever. But I'm thinking this Spring is going to be killer for the front range.

Totally. You'd think the world was ending if you were at Wal-Mart. Empty shelves everywhere.

If I was in a Wal-Mart, the world would be ending.

Wal-Mart ran out of gas at their station in Norman but there was plenty of it in the aisles. The high today will be 13 degrees. Tomorrow it will be -2 degrees. Good time to paint another room.......

It's not global warming it's climate change...
We're suppose to be getting close to a 10" of the white stuff over the next 24 hours. I gotta get some gas for the snow thrower...

Our talking heads on TV, were panicking last night. Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard.
Got up this morning, and we had about an additional 2" of snow, and it is being blown around a little. I have not even considered firing up the snow blower.
