sure, you had all that nice weather to get them up and now all of a sudden the weather is an issue..........

Other than moisture for the wheat crop, I don't see any reason for celebrating wet sloppy shit that requires shoveling and street cleaning.Get a postcard if you want winter scenerey.

there is not enough to shovel blackie

yet

Optimist.

I had to do Halloween first. I'm not WalMart ya know. Snow might be good for you hunters, but us guys whose only outdoor hobbies involve digging for fossils and historic artifacts hate winter.

oh quit your whining.......it's not that cold yet......

To each their own, but snow and cold are things I don't miss in the least. Spent too many winters feeding cattle and working in the oil patch. If I want the winter experience it's just a couple hours away in the high country, but haven't felt the need so far. BUT speaking of snow birds THEIR BACK. It does make driving an experience, however the millions that they pump into the economy is never complained about.

I had my years on a rig and also working for a bridge construction company but in spite of that I still like the snow

Cold enough my bad ears are complaining to me. It's not that bad now, but I don't need more of it. Besides, I recall one time when one of our treasure hunts out west got cut short by snow and I don't think you were much happier to see it than I was.

I loved the snow. We went to Greensburg today and between here and there they had a little more snow. Its was nice!!!

that's kinda funny when you think about it tho...... we get there and the temp drops, the wind pics up and it starts sleeting. we finally gave up when the sound of the sleet hitting our headphones made it hard to hear the detector signals.;

I thought it kinda sucked Luke. I was wanting to hunt more relics not drive home in a whiteout. Don't get me wrong, the snow we had the other day looked nice, melted off the roads ok and made my Christmas lights look extra nice. But alot of the same ones who want snow so bad will be cussing when it's freezing on the roads making them dangerous and the packed snow makes the streets like washboards, only to thaw and refreeze for a month causing something else that most of the present snow lovers will complain about. Spring potholes in the streets.

But if you can make it snow, and melt away in a day or two and keep the roads clear, I can handle that.

My old man got up at 5;30am and let the dogs out -I was dead asleep and then I heard such a clatter.................he busted his ass on the 1st step and went head 1st into the ground-ice sucks!!He was OK and I been laughing all day

Get a bit lumped-up did he? Glad he's ok.

I drove into a little snow this afternoon coming back here to this grand ole town we call Hace America!

me too-between Hays and Salina,and it was just snowing at my house!!!

That's pretty damn funny, wilky! If my husband had done that, I'd still be rolling.

Believe me at random times throughout the day my made up visual plays thru my mind and I giggle to myself

Don't ever wish for snow if the winds are 40 to 50. That would indicate a mental disorder worthy of a stay at the laughing academy.

Between snow, a funeral, and this friggin wind, I havn't gotten many more lights up outside that I'd normally do over my long Thanksgiving weekend and the days off are over. GRRRRRR

Went to Plainville earlier this afternoon. I'd look out the window and it would be like a blizzard, then look out again and the sun would be shining. Just glad the darn wind slowed a bit for the ride home. I feel bad that the hubby has to work out in this!

it's snowing at my house
**even though it's only itty-bitty

yay!!!!it's snowing at my pad!!!

How come it snows at your house first?

Cuz I'm in BFE!!!
it was only like 10 flakes

f the snow - my water pipes in my house are frozen!!

I'm letting water trickle NB. Up in the northern states trailer houses have a switch that sends the air from the heater ducts under the house. Is there a way you could run a pipe from the dryer exhaust under the house? A couple loads of laundry would put alot of warm air under there.

I have a remote thermometer under my house-24.6 degrees at 7:07pm

how in the hell did people live here in the old days????I know bonfires and alcohol worked in the west but this is unbearable!!!!
in the car smoking-still freezing-BLECH!
If it's gonna be this cold -DROP SOME PRETTY SNOW DAMMIT!!

In the old days there were no pipes to freeze. I imagine they kept water barrels or crocks inside filled from wells or cisterns deep enough they didn't freeze. They also brought in snow and ice to melt for water if they had no well. And the old chamber pot kept you from getting icicle ass in the outhouse.

I don't however see how anyone can stand Canada or similar climates where this is normal. I'm thinking of cutting a hole where I can run my dryer vent under the house in temps like these. They pump out alot of warm air.

Not only will that produce some heat it also works as a humidifier...

I wonder about my ancestors, when it's so cold, like today. My G'pa was born in a dug out along a creek/river bank, west of Liebenthal, in the middle of winter. I would never survive that kind of life.

Yeah, I found out how much when my stupid cat knocked the vent hose off this summer and it was blowing hot humid air in the house. If you gotta do laundry anyways it might be a good way to keep pipes thawed and heating bills down. Might make it pretty damp under the house though if used alot.

no there is no way to put the dryer vent into the bottom of the trailer... we are screwed until tomorrow morning, and HOPEFULLY they can unfreeze them. This sucks!!

Try this NB. Cover all your heater vents in the house and crank it up. That forces the heat out the cracks in the ductwork and may thaw you out. Old trailer trash trick I just remembered.

we covered them all and cranked it to 80 degrees. Hope it works! Thanks for your advice!

Ah . . gotcha crutch.

Question for the women - Why is sleeping with a guy for the first time like a snow storm?

Answer: Because you don't know how many inches you're gonna get or how long it will last.
