4 feet high and rising,15 more cm. comming on fri.oh joy.

 

That sucks, no playing with the cars in that mess

 

I hear you. It seems like at least every other day we get more snow. After 40+ years I know spring will come. It is just a matter of when!

In Alaska they call this kind of weather "clear and still" meaning clear up to your @$$ and still snowing.

 

It's been 80 degrees and sunny here for about the past week. Sounds like it's time for you to move south.

 

I would just sit back and enjoy the scenery myself.

 

I feel your pain, lol! I'm sooooo tired of looking at snow that I could scream!!!! Spring will be here eventually.....

 

Yep...I have had it too. It seems the older I get, the longer the winter is. Now...the first person who says it's too hot or humid....

 

Not a big winter fan either... finally got my 66 dynamic on the road and can't wait to see what she can do on dry pavement. Seems the auto tranny wants to shift a little too late, shifts hard sometimes between 1st and 2nd. I was driving over the weekend and had one of those hard shifts on an icy road. Wow, almost lost control there.

It's getting better as I drive more, but I'd be happier if the snow dissappeared.

 

Sounds farmiliar, we can't even drive our Olds' out here in Montreal, too much salt on the roads would probably make my fenders actually fall off for good.

.....Now...the first person who says it's too hot or humid....


I agree! You won't hear me complain about the heat, lol! I don't like the humidity at all, but I love the heat and the sun!! I've been cold for too long this winter.....

 

Snow sucks!

 

X2,,, Went to San Fransico for a couple of days, got back to Michigan late Tuesday and could not get in my driveway. Over 10" of snow and the plows had been by, blocking the drive. Oh, what fun !!!

 

its a tough winter
running low on firewood too!

 

got my weekend planned.weather man has changed his story from 15 cm on fri.to 30 to 50 cm --12 to 18 inchs.oh joy.

 

I think you are up by Flint? I was watching the weather tonight, and for Metro Detroit we are looking at another 4-6" by Friday afternoon. This is also the weekend for Autorama in Detroit. I was on Fort St. on Wednesday and the cars and trailers were all lined up to get into Cobo Hall for set up. One guy was in a 68' Chevelle (they were driving it in, no trailer!) . I pulled up next to him at the light, he said they had been waiting for about 4 hours and had moved about 2 1/2 blocks.

 

Does warm n sunny n 3 small fluffy clouds out to the East count.Better put the singlet n shirt on now n head down town. Keep the car away from that melting asphalt LOL
Yep, I like snow --going to visit it then leaving.
Spent a winter n a bit around Great Bear Lake. That pretty much cured me for life.
good luck

Now that's just mean.....We are freezing our cookies off, and you have to post something like that...just kidding, spring will be here soon I hope. How are things in New Zealand, were you affected by the earthquake?

 

No Joe, fortunately not affected directly. There are maybe 350,000 people in christchurch.NZ has maybe 4.25 million.I live some 300 miles away and whilst some felt the quake here,it would have been pretty weak .The other 2 kiwis currently on here are further away--one lives under a volcano (mt egmont)!!! and the other is in a volcanic area --natural hot pools are nice but ominous !!!
Strange things happen.Christchurch wasn`t even regarded as the big risk area . Was wellington where I live. Been 1/2 expecting the big one for a long time.After Kobe in Japan, heaps of our engineers went that way to study what survived and what failed . Subsequently,We did do some strengthening of motorway piers ..as yet untested.
In a much less serious manner we will all be affected . They may put a levy on us.Our overseas re-insurance will increase .Our GDP will suffer for years.Ofcourse that is zilch compared to what those people are having to endure.

 

Hang in there, y'all...
Those pictures of the snowy landscape sure look good, but it would be tough to live there and deal with it for months at a time.
I guess we have been lucky with our past 2 weeks of 70s and 80's.
Last Friday it was 86.
Of course here in the south we have our nasty disadvantages, too......

 

If it wasn't for all this snow, I wouldn't be able to keep my youthful figure actually we were ripped off Monday because the snowfall we were supposed to get stayed south of the lakes and the same thing happened today... all I received was a few wisps and I was hoping to add to my carefuly hoarded white piles of the past two months but was blind sided by those two record setting days of heat last week and my piles were virtually exterminated

 

And here "south of the lakes" we got hammered again (I live about 30 miles South of Lake Ontario). I've been here four years and this is at least four times as much snow as I've seen. We sit between Rochester & Syracuse and they usually get all the lake effect stuff just west and just east of us. We usually don't get much and what we get usually melts pretty quickly. This winter we just haven't gotten warm enough to melt anything. I've been plowed out seven times & they only plow when we get more than 6".

 

Here it's all been rain. Very heavy rain. Supposed to start again tomorrow. The Ohio river is just a foot below flood stage. And that's in February. You kinda expect that in April, but not this early in the year.

 

I live about 10 miles N/E of Flint. Snowing again today, I've quit watching the weather reports, but it's coming down pretty good. I'll have to plow again tomorrow for sure.
Are you going to make it to Autorama? I was thinking about going but not in this snow and hot rods are not really my favorites, appreciate the workmanship though.

 

Yea, I thought you were up there in the Flint area. I used to have some customers up that way. They are calling for rain Sunday in to Monday, so its from one extreme to the other. I have'nt gone to Autorama in a few years. It seems to be a bunch of over chromed, billet, and never see the road kind of cars. They do have a lot of cars that guys like us have seen, but they are mostly Chevys..I mean really....how many Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, and Vettes can you see.
