Looks like I'm not going to have a white Christmas this year. It doesn't snow very much here, and I can only remember only having a few white Christmases ever.

Done my share of shoveling snow. Worst I ever saw was in Boston in 1971. Snow drifts covered the windows of our barracks at Ft. Devens which means the drifts were at least 10 feet deep. As for regular depth, the "blizzard" left a bit less than 2 feet. I left that place in April and never saw the ground the whole time I was there...just snow.

As to "your" blizzard, its effects were far-reaching. It cost me an extra 2 and a half hours on the ground in Tampa, Florida because of other plane delays from it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Unless he lives in the Blue Mountains he wouldn't shovel snow...ever. We don't get snow except on mountains. I have a whacking great mountain right out my window and it usually has snow on it, but there has only been sea level snow twice in my lifetime (and I live in Tasmania which is the coldest state)

I'm Near Montreal here and yesterday we had Rain! So most of the snow in my little town has melted. it's a little icy, and the grass is still covered but the sidewalks and roads are pretty clear.

..and due to my mother being under the weather, the family has decided to do an emergency move of the Christmas super here to my house. That leaves me holding the turkey and the menu at the Last minute. Looks like it's going to be a long day. Oh well, I can sleep between xmas and new years I guess.

Well down here in good 'ol Tidewater Virginia we got 0.0625 inches (one sixteenth of an inch) of snow woith two inch drifts!!! That was enogh to shut down all the schools for the day and to cause everyone to drive under thirty MPH. The amazing thing is that it actually snowed before christmas this year.

Well, anyone who lives in a snow area can appreciate this. Today I woke up and the city had got around to plowing our stree. DId a pretty good job of it actualy. I could see asphalt in spots. Of course that meant I got to dig out our driveway again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif And it wasn't the nice soft snow from yesterday, it was hardpacked and full of ice chunks the size of my head.

We got snow in Texas Last year, it was enough to make a few snowballs(I still have one in my freezer). This year we got Flurries on christmas eve.

You can keep the snow.

Re: Ok, I like a white Christmas and all, but...
 

I had to drive through Ohio during all of it and they are not good at plowing their highways
