You wimps! A little bit of snow and you are all shaking and whimpering : )

We (read, yours truly) saw snow two weeks ago, October 10th, to be precise, in Southern Colorado / Northern New Mexico.

I bravely drove through a falling snow-not-storm in oh, about ten minutes, and then it was all over.

Saludos, Eskimos!

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

So you had 10 minutes of snow for the year? :lol: Now try 6 months of snow and 2 months of the threat of snow. If we get 2 feet of snow we are at work on time, no excuses.

I may not really like snow but you’ll can keep your tornadoes, hurricanes, wild fires, and earthquakes. I'll live with the snow!

It comes out of a machine. A few months back, they brought in a couple of them thar machines so that they could put down that stuff called "snow" for some extreme snowboarding in San Francisco. Lots of people got to see snow for the first time in their lives.

It is called a shovel! Actually I use one of those push scoops to move the majority of the snow on the driveway, then a blade shovel for clean-up.

I'd like to think of it more as an “eviction” than a “harvest”. I harvest things I like; deer, fruits, vegetables…

Or, just what we do in metropolitan Detroit. Dump tons and tons of rock salt on the stuff. It turns the road sides into filthy gray slush and car body panels into swiss cheese. :x :x :x P.S. snow blowers are for sissys real men use shovels. (At least that's what Grampa always told us.)
