Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST,MMario Date: 23 Jan 04 - 12:27 PM no - but it does make you a little wierd - especially the loving to shovel it part. The rest is pretty normal. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST,Martin Gibson Date: 23 Jan 04 - 12:45 PM Hate driving in it. Hate not seeing my grass under it. Hate and won't shovel it. Hate that it covers up dogshit. Hate cleaning it off of my car. Hate that I can't BBQ on my patio barefoot because of it. Hate that it's not baseball season. Fuck Winter!! It gets old real quick after the holidays. Trouble is, love living in Chicago. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: WFDU - Ron Olesko Date: 23 Jan 04 - 12:54 PM Raptor, you have an open invitation to shovel my driveway if you are ever in NJ. I like winter for about 1 week, then I want to see spring. Is it too early to put out tomato plants??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Raptor Date: 23 Jan 04 - 01:43 PM You Live In Jersy? Great Place! If you have snow in May I'll shovel it! Raptor |

Well, step right up ... have I got a treat for you! Do you do roofs too??? |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Raptor Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:10 PM Not Much Whats Snoe with you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:29 PM Pleaase let there be snow in London soon. I know it snarls everything up, but it looks so pretty for a few days, and we can build snowmen and go sledging in the park on a Bunty Annual tied to a roller skate. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:34 PM Bunty annual? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:35 PM and why tie it to a roller skate? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 03:40 PM Because it would fall off if you didn't? The Twinkle Annual also works. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: sian, west wales Date: 23 Jan 04 - 04:23 PM Ah - snow in Britain. When we Canadians sit back and laff our socks off watching the Brits go into a blind panic at 3 flakes and a promise. Mustn't be cruel. I'm tempting fate. Probably slip and break my leg now. Serve me right. sian |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 05:39 PM And if you laff your socks off you may also get frostbite. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Mudlark Date: 23 Jan 04 - 06:25 PM I love snow too. Where would Christmas cards be without it? Here in Calif. the grass is green, the sky is blue and the sun is hot. Took a 1-1/2 mile hike today in shirt sleeves. I've lived in snowy winters and sunny winters and I'm glad i ended up, at least, in the latter. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Jan 04 - 06:28 PM You're nuts, Raptor. But I already knew that. :-) If I could arrange to send you all of Orillia's snow, I would! - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: lady penelope Date: 23 Jan 04 - 09:14 PM Although I'm a native of this land, I don't understand why the British ( as a group ) seem utterly incapable with coping with variations in the weather. I mean, we have so much of it, you'd think we'd be used to it by now. I've lived in London all my life and the last time we had snow that lasted more than three days was when I was 12 ( I'm 37 now! ). The last three winters I only had my winter coat out for a couple of weeks a year. So why did one night of sub zero temperatures ( just - approx. -3 to -9 degrees celcius ) across the southeast of England cause the utter chaos that it did? Who knows? The meterological office forcast it two days in advance, so it's not like it happen all of one sudden! I'm beginning to wonder, what came first, the weather in Britain, or the British complaining about it? I'm with Billy Conolley, there's no such thing as 'bad' weather, just the wrong sort of clothes!

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST Date: 23 Jan 04 - 09:48 PM Some parts of Britain cope very well. But cities that only as you say, experience it for more than 3 days every 25yrs are obviously not going to be geared up for it? |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Sorcha Date: 23 Jan 04 - 10:11 PM You're sick, very sick....(grin)Stuff just has to be shoveled, then melts, makes mud and mudpuddles.....prefer rain, which makes mud but at least doesn't have to be shoveled... |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 24 Jan 04 - 08:39 AM I met snow once! I walked in it & slid on it, touched it & threw some at my friend Chris. It was very pretty, so white & fluffy & someone had made a small snowman. It was also cold & I wasn't dressed for it (good thing he had a second ski jacket) & my leather boots were the reason I slid nicely when he pulled me along. Such fun!! This day trip to an almost empty ski resort the week before the season started also gave me a beautiful moon memory - full moon above a snow covered mountain peak, viewed through a bare tree. What a shame I didn't have a camera. I was 40 years old when I met snow for the first & only time. I must do it again one day. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 24 Jan 04 - 08:42 AM What? be 40 years old again Sandra? - Gee, I'd like to be 40 years old again too... :-) Robin |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: GUEST,Pele Date: 24 Jan 04 - 11:24 AM Clark, you'd better show some respect for my 4 detested sisters, the Snow Goddesses of the Hawai'ian mountains! Tread lightly, mere mortal, or you shall inflame my fiery WRATH ... and I'll literally blow my top all over the piddley likes of you! Aloha! Pele |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Mrs.Duck Date: 24 Jan 04 - 02:26 PM Unfortunately its precisely because we do only get limited amounts of snow that it causes so many problems because we don't normally have the need to deal with major blizzards. We should all learn to just stay at home when it happens - afterall it DOES only last a couple of days MAX! Apparently the salt they use on our roads freezes at around -8 degrees so with the forecast being -15 midweek we can expect chaos. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 24 Jan 04 - 05:47 PM The salt does lots more damage to cars and the environment than it does good things by having the snow melt off the roads... |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Cluin Date: 24 Jan 04 - 06:15 PM Come on up to the Sault, Raptor. Got lots of it here for ya! (too much) |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Hrothgar Date: 25 Jan 04 - 04:53 AM I like snow when it is in another country 6,000 miles away. Different weather here - last mnight we had a bit of rain. It was six inches or more in an hour. I'm glad my place is on a slope. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Bo Vandenberg Date: 25 Jan 04 - 11:02 AM I hereby give those that like it my share of winter snow including but not limited to: The ice beneath my wheels The slush around my boots The cruchy brown crap in my cars wheel wells The snow on the ground The snow in the sky The snow on my lawn Every 9&#^$%^ flake, crystal and drop. Come and get it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Cluin Date: 25 Jan 04 - 04:25 PM It'd be cheaper than me shipping it down to you, Raptor. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: Midchuck Date: 25 Jan 04 - 05:46 PM All WHAT snow? I was just cross country skiing in the woods out back, and it's gettin' powerful scratchy. We had a ton of it here (west central VT) in December, but clear and cold most of January. Get a blizzard in here! Peter. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: jaze Date: 25 Jan 04 - 06:28 PM Well, we're getting plenty right now in central Virginia. You're welcome to it! Actually, I wouldn't mind snow that much if it weren't for the problem of having to get to work. If there were a bus line nearby I could take, It could snow all it wants. Since there isn't and I have to get up extra early and fight off assholes in 4-wheel drives who feel impervious to ICE and nearly cause me to wreck because they lost control on ICE, I'm not especially into it. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: maire-aine Date: 26 Jan 04 - 11:04 AM Well, it was okay when it started, but it's gettin' pretty OLD now. Our (in Detroit) forecast for tonight is freezing rain and 9" of snow for Tuesday. Enuf, already! |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: black walnut Date: 27 Jan 04 - 07:19 AM No teaching today...classes cancelled. Freezing pellets in the night, and freezing rain on its way. That doesn't happen often here in the big city (Toronto). ~b.w. |

Subject: RE: BS: I LOVE ALL THIS SNOW From: DonMeixner Date: 27 Jan 04 - 09:52 PM 118" of snow fall so far this year in Central New York. We are ahead of last year by about a 12" for this time of the year. And last year was a record year. Februrary is is about 25% more snow than January. Syracuse, New York is on average colder than Ankleridge, Illaskya during a typical winter. New Jersey's worse snow fall is a mild mention compared to a Syracuse winter. But what is really scary is there are places in New York State that get colder and snowier. I've heard that Montana may get some snow in some places and Colorado has had some before too. But that stuff isn't lake effect snow so how bad can it be. Don |
