We've already got around 15 inches down in the Last 36 hours and they are calling for as much as 10 more today. No mas!

I should have asked Santa for a snow blower this year.

Awww. Quit hogging it all. Buy the time it gets up here there won't be any left.

About half a century ago we here in Holland had snow during this time of the year, but due to human progress we get snow during februari... if we're lucky. Most of the time the snow only falls for about two days. Pretty pathetic ain't it?

Snow? Snow? What is this... "snow..." of which you speak?

I get a nice hazy brown Christmas... Ah, good 'ole Los Angeles!

I second IF's comment.
It is 35 degrees Celsius (95 F) here and Xmas day tomorrow is looking to be about the same.
Xmas BBQ lunch and dinner around the pool again!

You guys just haven't lived until you shoveled 15 inches of snow off your driveway and halfway across the street to get your car out and go anywhere. I had shovel that far out into the street cause I live on a side street that doesnt' get plowed by the city until all the main ones do. Some volunteer with a pickup truck and a snow shovel came down our street, but he only made one pass. Had to dig out to there to move my car. Ugh, I really should get a snow blower. Of course we usually only get a snow bad enough to need one every couple years. Most of the snow we get isn't deep enough to need shoveling if you are lazy like me.

Its okay, Grazic is probably shoveling snow when the rest of us are having BBQ.

the poor upside-down sod probably does not realize that up here in the propper hemisphere we have the barby on our shrimp, instead of the other way around.

Hey, it's an incentive (and means) to keep in shape during the dark months and not let the beerbelly grow. I spent more than an hour shoveling snow today.
