Snow!

**salsabike** · 12-01-2007, 12:34 PM

My goodness. It's coming down like real snow today.

Yup, it sure looks like it's serious! Can barely see across the parking lot. The kids in the apt complex are going nuts!

Costco was brimming with crazed shoppers (didn't even go in) and panicked folks were lining up in the roadway to get into the gas station. We decided that a Costco experience was not on our list for today after all.

Homemade chili, DVD's, putting up the solstice tree, and cozying up with the computer are our plans for the rest of the day!

Our forecast for Sunday night and Monday includes:

Definite freezing rain, definite ice pellets

Definite rain, chance of ice pellets

(each line above represents a forecast 3 hours after the line above it)

Should be an interesting day. Good day to telecommute.

I noticed that at Costco! Bet we were in the lot at the same time---we went to Verizon to get my cell phone replaced.

**KnottedYet** · 12-01-2007, 02:49 PM

yeah, we probably were! We went to Home Depot and got an ice scraper/snow brush. We had to ask a clerk where they were... waaaaaaay in the back hidden from view. Right next to one lonely display of snow shovels.

If I were floor manager at Home Depot today, I'd move those two items up to the front!

The snow is keeping me inside today. (I don't trust my knee, or my natural clumsiness, on the stairs or uphill slope of the driveway when it's potentially icy.) But, here's the scene from my place...

That's looking down on the backyard. Other random snowy shots here.

nice pictures Dex!

S. Dakota had our 1st 4" snow of the season. Not enough to snowshoe, but too bad to bike. I'm hoping for a few more inches tonight but the sky is clearing.

**KnottedYet** · 12-02-2007, 07:24 AM

It's snowing like mad up here. Most of yesterday's snow melted during the night, but the bare spots are filling in quickly now!

Good day to stay home and hang out with SKnot and Stinky Dog.

It snowed here last night, about 3 inches, now its raining and foggy - should be a fun commute tomorrow morning.

I like to have at least 10,000 feet of elevation between me and snow

We're going to have a mess here tomorrow. It's been cold for the last few days and today it started snowing again. As the day went on, it got warmer and warmer and the flakes got bigger. It's supposed to keep warming up all night and by tomorrow afternoon, it'll be well above zero. Yuck...

**Blueberry** · 12-02-2007, 06:42 PM

Can't it please precipitate here in NC? I'd love snow, but I'd settle for rain. They're talking about water rationing as my city is down to less than 2 months worth of water if we don't get some *serious* rainfall. Of course, my City was the last to implement any sort of water restrictions - they said we had "plenty" of water. GRRRR....And for some reason, the same time they will shut down car washes will be the same time they start telling us when/how many times a day we can flush

and/or cutting off the water for part of the day

Talk about mismanagement

It's snowing again here in the north end of Seattle.

Good thing I got a bike ride yesterday. Watching drivers panicking and spinning in the parking lot already here.

**kelownagirl** · 12-09-2007, 08:45 AM

OK, I don't get why Seattle is getting more snow than the Okanagan this year?

Must be global warming.
