Subject: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Apr 03 - 09:57 AM It's all over the place out there! ARRGH! Someone must be playing an April Fool's joke on Orillia. It was almost all gone yesterday. Boy, am I sick of snow. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: *daylia* Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:09 AM Maybe it'll all melt by noon, LH. Then we'll really miss it, wonderous stuff that it is! The "White Snow of the Springtime" fills one with the sense of inner peace, with deep gratitude for all of Nature's blessings, with a sense of true wonder at the joy and beauty of life, right? Just ask McGrath! He wrote a most lovely song about it ... Hey,don't look now, but it's MELTING, and FAST! Remember the year we got dumped with about 4 feet of snow on May 31st? Think it was 77 - I've got pictures of us shoveling out with the snowbanks way over our heads. Gotta love Canadian weather ... daylia |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: VoxFox Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:11 AM Yeah Little Hawk, I know what ya mean. We were blasted with the stuff yesterday along with freezing rain so it was real heavy shoveling this morning. We had about a foot here in NB :o( VF |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: katlaughing Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:12 AM They got 13 inches more in some places of Wyoming last week. The eastern slope of the Colorado Rockies had anywhere from 3-8 feet MORE in just a couple of days, two weeks ago!! The biggest storm with the *mostest* snow in 90 years. Just visualise the Wicked Witch of the West in all those piles of snow, melting, melting awa...yyy.......:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: gnu Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:34 AM Hey VF. We only got about two inches here in Moncton, but we also have about a half inch of ice on the trees. Where are you to ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: GUEST,James Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:48 AM The most rain that ever fell , fell here last night...flood,flood, flood. Is that a good song title or what ? Least the snow is gone. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: VoxFox Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:49 AM Just North of you in Mighty Miramichi. Steady snowfall started Sunday evening and lasted all day yesterday with freezing rain in between. Nice Huh? How is your white Pine holding up ? VF |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: gnu Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:53 AM Only lost one branch off of five trees, but the crap isn't melting fast enough to allow the branches to spring back up yet.... still hoping. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Bill D Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:55 AM We drove from Wash DC to a lodge in W. VA. on Friday in 65F beautiful weather--Spring was here, the chirds were burping...then Sat evening it started, and Sunday morning there was 15" or snow on everything! So we stayed one more day till it eased and they cleared the roads, but it still snowed most of the trip home (about 6 hrs.) It didn't fully stop until we were almost home. What a winter! |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:56 AM I suppose this isn't the thread where you want to hear that I spotted a family of mom and three ducklings dabbling in my creek this morning? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: gnu Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:57 AM Did you get any ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: MMario Date: 01 Apr 03 - 10:58 AM chirds were burping, crogs froaking, and somewhere off in the woods a sixen was vreaming (novely loise!) but we still ended up with snow Sat, Sun, Mon. Two more inches predicted for today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 Apr 03 - 03:46 PM Did I get any? Ducks? Snow? No snow, it's about 80 out there today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 01 Apr 03 - 05:28 PM Slight dusting Sunday night after an all day rain. It's gone now but it is cold. Woke up in the middle of the night to turn up the heat and get another blanket. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Walking Eagle Date: 01 Apr 03 - 08:03 PM Slight dusting here in S.E. PA. too. Where the hell are you Persephony (sp?)? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: bbc Date: 01 Apr 03 - 08:18 PM Dusting in my part of New York, even though they swore there would be no accumulation. More is expected tomorrow. Some April Fool's! Bah, humbug! bbc |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 01 Apr 03 - 08:30 PM It's snowing again tonight. More dust......please |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Burke Date: 01 Apr 03 - 08:54 PM All but the biggest piles were gone. Some grass was green. Bulbs were pushing up. Then...Snow Sunday, Monday, most of today. Not a whole lot, but too much for me. I had to get my boots back out. Yesterday I forgot my regular shoes for work. Today I went back to shoes & rain coat. I'm sure I'll be regretting that in a few minutes. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Hrothgar Date: 02 Apr 03 - 03:13 AM Doing it tough here, too. Bright sunny day, occasional cloud, max about 82 degrees F, min about 58. Somebody has to do it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: *daylia* Date: 02 Apr 03 - 10:44 AM Grrrrr ... you been told yet today, Hrothgar? ;) Just glad the temp is over freezin and there's not enough snow to shovel! Tryin not to covet my neighbour's climate ... daylia |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: GUEST,Rex on the work 'puter Date: 02 Apr 03 - 11:17 AM We got 8 feet from the St. Pat's storm. I'm still digging out from that one. Got a foot more about a week later. So there's plenty of white stuff and we won't be seeing the ground for awhile. At least we don't have to worry about forest fires for a couple of weeks or so.

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Apr 03 - 11:24 AM It hasn't gone away yet, but it's melting a bit... |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: MMario Date: 02 Apr 03 - 11:28 AM we got rain instead of snow yesterday - and today it is suppossed to be in the high forties (F) |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: BanjoRay Date: 02 Apr 03 - 07:54 PM I thought it was only us brits who talk about the weather all the time? I like snow. Cheers Ray |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Apr 03 - 11:30 PM Orillia, Ontario report: Still MORE of the friggin' stuff this evening...and the road conditions were vicious. Freezing rain is expected tomorrow. God give me strength! - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Gloredhel Date: 03 Apr 03 - 12:55 AM Grrr! I wore sandals on friggin' Sunday and Monday, and this morning it snowed. Didn't stay, but now things are all wet and cold. I wanna go home to California where my mother's daffodils are blooming!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Apr 03 - 04:14 PM It has been nice down here for a couple of days, but the five-day forecast now includes thunderstorms, and along with those charmers come one of the midwest's least attractive features--tornadoes. I would happily trade a colder longer winter for a benign spring, summer and fall free of tornadoes. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 03 Apr 03 - 06:01 PM 2"-4" tonight. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Apr 03 - 08:39 PM Bad winter storm today, with freezing rain, ice pellets, and blowing snow. More promised for tomorrow. I cancelled a trip to Toronto and am staying home. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Steve Latimer Date: 04 Apr 03 - 08:01 AM It's brutal in the Toronto area. Freezing rain, turned to ice pellets and snow. Some of the strangest driving conditions I've ever seen. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: *daylia* Date: 04 Apr 03 - 09:22 AM Here in Midhurst Ontario a good 15 cm fell last night, on top of the freezing rain. When I got up this morning and saw the ridge of heavy dirty wet snow the plow left at the end of the drive, I felt so old and gray and tired ... But lo and behold, when I stepped out the door, shovel resolutely in hand a moment ago, I discovered that some absolute angel had cleared it away with a snowblower for me already - anonymously! What a relief! Think I'll go find the right neighbour to hug - right now!! Ooooo my heart is so WARM right now, just had to share it! Gotta LOVE Canadian weather - and my wonderful neighbours! :) daylia |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Peg Date: 04 Apr 03 - 10:40 AM Walking Eagle, check out the Respite Tavern thread; there's Persephone! ;) An inch or two in Boston was what I awoke to. More snow would not bother me if there were enough for another jaunt of cross-country skiiing. But as it is there will simply be close to a week of wintry mix precip. Yuck! No gardening for me. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Bat Goddess Date: 04 Apr 03 - 10:55 AM Bad enough that we woke to white shhhhhh-stuff Monday and Wednesday mornings -- but it was gone by noon. Woke up this morning to about 6 inches of it. It may possibly have stopped, but they say it's gonna be sporadic all weekend. And Sabine the cat just went out. Told her she wouldn't like it. Bet she'll be at the window in about two minutes. Oh yeah, and sleet, freezing rain and all that other delightful stuff. Made me miss the Mac Geek Meet last night. I have NO remaining sense of humor about winter. None. Poor snowdrops finally got up enough courage to lift their little heads up and look what happens. Raked some leaves out of flower beds on Wednesday. Probably a mistake. Ptah! as Nero Wolfe would say. Thanks for letting me whine. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Bat Goddess Date: 04 Apr 03 - 10:57 AM Actually, Sabine didn't go out. Tom opened the door at her demand, she looked out and decided she'd rather go upstairs. She was just able to roll in the dirt in the driveway for the first time earlier this week. The mud was finally starting to go away. Arghhhhh!!! Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Apr 03 - 12:49 PM Has anyone pointed out to the ground hog that this has gone on far too long? Six weeks it was supposed to be if he saw his shadow, right? You're all going on 9 weeks past ground hog day. There musta been one of those million candle-power lights focused on the little guy this year. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: duuuude Date: 04 Apr 03 - 04:15 PM Gettin hammered here in the Eastern Sierras, watch out Colorado! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 04 Apr 03 - 04:52 PM Only a dusting this morning after all. Then a forecast for 8" today ...and nothing. Now tomorrow. I think I will just sleep through it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Apr 03 - 08:58 PM I called up the groundhog, and he's drunk. Pickled. Stewed to the gills. He can't believe it either. He says he's going on strike, and staying below ground till things improve. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: wysiwyg Date: 05 Apr 03 - 10:53 AM March. Came in like a lion and went out like... a polar bear! ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Apr 03 - 11:18 AM 5 below zero (Celsius) today, and snow all over the place. The dachshund (Valdy) is demoralized, and refuses to leave his chair. Of course, that's his usual condition anyway... :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 05 Apr 03 - 12:30 PM Woke up at 7AM to a lovely carpet of the white stuff...so I went back to bed. It is supposed to snow all day. I absolutely refuse to shovel it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: curmudgeon Date: 05 Apr 03 - 03:01 PM It started snowing here in NH sometime Thursday evening, and has only stopped for a few hours on Friday. After digging out the car, Bat Goddess and I headed to the Press Room for the Friday session. Now the forecast called for a full day of ice on Saturday, so we plotted our survival for the day. First I bought lottery tickets for Sat. night's drawing. I have a great fear of the numbers coming up if ever I fail to play them. We then assessed our supplies; plenty of coffee, cat food, beer, tequila and Scotch, leftover chowder for dinner and a brie en croute for lunch. Saturday came without ice, just more snow, now leaving the last of our firewood under 8 inches of the "stuff." Dug out the car again, after digging out some firewood. Went to the store for a can of clams to fill out the chowder, some daffodils for inspiration, and a package of frozen Oysters Rockefeller to compliment the brie. Opened a botle of champagne and celebrated our survival. Its still snowing, the house is cold, but we're toughing it out. Spring will come, but probably only some long weekend in May before the temperatures soar. Cheers -- Tom |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: maire-aine Date: 05 Apr 03 - 03:19 PM We got ICE last night. The whole county (north of Detroit) was covered in a sheet of ICE. Tree limbs snapping off from the weight. Power out to 250000 customers. Yuck!!! Time to knock off this stuff. |

Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 05 Apr 03 - 03:37 PM 3:30 p.m. on Saturday 4/5. Indianapolis, after temps in the 70s (F.) yesterday, is in the upper 30s, which is a bummer. No snow or other precip yet, but it looks likely. Frankly, I haven't heard the forecast. Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 05 Apr 03 - 10:10 PM 40s tomorrow. Maybe I won't have to shovel after all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Sorcha Date: 05 Apr 03 - 10:32 PM 3" now, still coming down. Was 80 this past Wed. Crazeee! We need the moisture so badly though. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Apr 03 - 12:44 PM Well, it's cold out there...but the sun is shining. Yay! It really is "sun"day today, and that's good. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: Ebbie Date: 06 Apr 03 - 02:07 PM A weather front is passing through Juneau this morning bringing small pellet-like snow. Don't expect any accumulation. Crocuses are in riotous bloom, day lilies are poking up out of the soil and it looks like daffodil spears are showing. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: MORE SNOW!!!!!!! From: SINSULL Date: 06 Apr 03 - 03:02 PM Crocus? Daffs? I ache to see one that isn't stuck in a jar of water. Well, I had to shovel! Damn! But it is 40 degrees and melting. |
