(Again) From: Phot After being pestered by the cats for food this morning, I noticed that it was a bit light for seven in the morning, so I pulled back the curtain and took a look............There's an inch of snow on the deck!! And its still coming down like no ones buisness. Does anyone else seem to be having this weather? On the plus side, I can go and make a snowman for the first time in twenty odd years, and I can take the Landrover out for a play too!! Wassail!!! Chris |

A frosty welcome for the Olympic torch that's supposed to be passing through the borough today... even frostier than the welcome I'd give it, if I could be bothered! We have about an inch so far, with big, fat, fluffy flakes and no sign of it stopping! It'll be the first time Limpit has been able to make a snowman since she was 6, although, because our garden is sheltered by tall shrubs and trees, it'll have to be a very small snowman. LTS |

We had a foot by midnight Saturday and throughout Sunday, recieved another foot. I had to leave my vehicle in town and I was saved by a four wheel drive to get me home. More today then clearing out I hope. I need to get back into town to get my vehicle as soon as we get plowed out around here. We just got more snow in one day than we had all winter. Quite a trip. Now that I just called in to work... think I'll just go snuggle in back to bed! Have a great day! Rustic |

At this point in the season, however, darned few of us are sober. |

08 Apr 08 - 05:10 PM (#2310537) Subject: RE: BS: It's snowing! (Again) From: Ebbie You'd think, that living in Alaska would denote snowy weather. Robo is in Anchorage which is farther north (and west) than Juneau, where I am. His winters are longer and colder than ours so our weather expectations are different. But sometimes we get the same storm passing through. Last night, when I trekked home from the first night of Folk Festival it was kind of nice out, drizzling light rain but not cold. (Our standards are notoriously low here!) This morning we had a beautiful white world. On the sidewalks, the snow was crunchy but the streets were slick and hard with ice. April 15 is the deadline in southeast Alaska for removing studded tires- this morning I imagine some people wish they hadn't removed them early. |

But the ice ledge with the mounds of crystalized snow remains on the north side of the house (where the deck and door is; sigh) threatens to still be here come Fourth of July. I did see a snowdrop yesterday -- I thought they had all bloomed while covered with snow. Picked up some of the flower bed border rocks that had been moved by the plow, since they were covering another hosta bed. If we cut up all the large downed branches, though, we'll have a start on next winter's firewood. Linn |

"...there has so far been no recorded global warming at all this century. The world's temperature rose about half a degree centigrade during the last quarter of the 20th century; but even the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research - part of Britain's Met Office and a citadel of the current global warming orthodoxy - has now conceded that recorded temperature figures for the first seven years of the 21st century reveal there has been a standstill."
