Great,its here..snow

Yup, there's snow out this way too. My falcon's gotta deal with a tarp this winter though.

 

( SEATTLE)

When I lived in Las Vegas , some guy from Seattle was complaining that he had been there for a week and it had not rained a drop. He asked how much rain we got a year -- I told him about 6--7 inches . He laughed and said "thats nutthin"
---- I told him -- "you ought to be here the day we get it!
Now I live in Fraser ,Colorado-- Fraser calls itself "the icebox of America" and the whole valley depends on SNOW and SKIERS for a living -- and we got NONE so far!

 

i got snow last week and salt on the roads, but im actually excited for snowmobile season !

 

Ain't only Florida does that!
IN about 1950, my family moved from Washington state to Yuma , AZ in the middle of December --- My older brother ,19, and 10 year old me wanted to go swimming , the temp was like high summer to us. The pools were ALL closed fdor the winter -- no problem for us -- there were NO pools where we came from -- just lots of irrigation canals-- Yuma had them too. SO-- into the canal we went, in nothing flat the fire dept. and the cops showed up -- TO RESCUE US!! Every body assumed we must have FALLEN in accidently -- it was WINTER!!
BY the time the next winter came around , WE were also wrapped up in coats in December.

 

Something I have always wondered about, where does the "White " go when snow melts ?

 

Colorado is begging for snow, we have been 15-20 degrees above normal and dry.

 

Pussies....for shits sake put some clothes on and go out and enjoy Winter, it's only here for a few months. The Outlaw Snowmobile Drags will be here in January. Nothing like seeing a sled run over 150 in the 1/8 mile, in downtown no less! Then there's the motorcycle ice races, studded classes are crazy! Take the kids sledding, go hunting, ice fishing, skiing, (not for me) or one of the many other things you can only do in Winter. I used to feel sorry for places that didn't have a real Winter, now i know it's a special thing to live in Michigan where we actually have four seasons. And shop time is great too, if you're not too busy.

 

I knew it was coming, So last friday I took the 49 Merc for a spinn around town. Came back and took the bike for a spinn, Then the pickup. Think I got it covered for a little while. Of course if it warms up , the garage door just might go back up...

 

i feel ya here in central oregon

 

Hmmmmmmm, no snow back home in Perth - anytime of the year - not even any frosts.
Sure, it gets to 110F in summer, but we can live with that.
We've been living in England for the last year - brrrrrrrrrrr.
They're predicting snow flurries over the next week.
Plus, the days are sooooooooooo short!!!
I might go home - I miss the sun and the warmth.

 

Woo - hoo Some Michigan fun

 

Drove to Penn Yan to see the guys and it snowed all the way home.

 

If it makes you feel any better you could be cooking your arse down here today
102 where l am ,some parts of the state up to 110. And we are not really into summer yet. Hope that helps

 

I froze my ass off in Iowa. Moved to KC, wasn't bad but people don't know how to drive in the white stuff. Moved to TULSA, awwww just right.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Like I told the kid, "Your musics not too loud, its just like OKC, it sucks!"

 

This thread was not what I was expecting, I read it as..Great tits here...snow. I think either wishful thinking or need glasses.

Oh, and I'm also in the 100deg + currently

 

Ice Fishing, hmmm interesting, just what bait do you use to catch the Ice? How does the Ice take the bait? I think there must be better things to do!

Doc.

 

Oh, the weather outside is frightfull...
And the fire is so delighfull... Since we got no place to go... Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

 

Ok Grumpy...

 

SEND IT HERE!

I just got a brand new snowmobile last Wednesday and I'm feelin' the need for speed.

Until that happens, I guess I'll just keep fabricating on the chassis for the pickup.

 

You tell'em Frank!!....

 

I always wondered what snow was when I was living down there by you.... Now that I'm here, I don't want no part of it!....
Except on Christmas Eve....

 

Not yet in this part of Finland,but i guess that white shit is on the ground at next weekend.I am not a big hater of anything,but i really hate that crap.

 

Well
Down here tomorrow it is forcast to be 103 degrees.
Michael

 

ice fishing is what northern nascar fans do in the off season. a bunch of guys sitting around.

 

Its going to be in the high 70's low 80's this weekend but dont come down here looking for a job, they're all taken up. Now if your retired load up your money and come on down!

 

Here is a choice for you.
Snow. fun to play in and goes away after a while
You could have it worse. Forest Fires/mudslides/earthquakes/hurricanes/tornadoes/extreme heat waves.
I'll take NY any time.

 

Just moved here to Az. from Mi. to leave the snow behind. Got tired of the 2 seasons in Mi. Winter & July. Tho' one of the locals here told me it snows here once in awhile if you sleep too late you'll miss it. Thats fine with me. I cant wait to text friends back there "hows that 8-10 ins. of snow & 10 below wind chills working for ya?".

 

We have been lucky so far here in the middle of Kansas, it was in the 60's yesterday and I just had to get my car out for a cruise. Other year's we are already deep in winter by now.

 

Doesn't NY get hit with hurricanes these days? Seems like I saw something on the news recently...

Too bad California is full of weirdos and the laws suck...you guys might like it here

Seriously, we're full. Sorry. Don't even come to visit...it's just a gateway drug.

 

We have snowmobile races here in Florida several times a year, never colder than 80-85 degrees out either! Front of the sled doesn't touch the ground for the whole 1/8 mile, totally bad ass!. Usually the same day as the All Harley Drags, not a place to use the " pussies " word unless you are suicidal.
