We have 4 to 10 inches of snow forecast by tomorrow morning. I guess my craigslist used snowthrower is going to get a workout in the next couple of days. On the bright, side, I'll have a white birthday next week!
 
It's a little windy today, but 75 and sunny tomorrow down here. I wish we had a winter, I've only seen real snow on vacation.
 
Finally been cold and snowing up in the mountains the last few days. Hope to get up tomorrow, check it out, and shred up the gnar gnar.
 
I don't mind the snow so much, it's the unending deep freeze that makes everything so damn difficult to manage. When it's that cold it doesn't snow but cars don't start, doors don't open, exhaust gases and chimney smoke crawl along the ground gagging you, and brewing becomes nearly impossible.
 
Absolutely no chance of snow this winter. I got tired of being stuck at home when it snowed (long, steep, gravel driveway), so I purchased an old, but serviceable, Ram 50 4x4. Since Murphy died and is sitting at Ifni's right hand, I'm safe.
 
You can keep all the snow you want. I don't want to see a flake.

Sunny and cold here with the temps just getting to 5c. Good weather to make a German Pils with though. Cooled down to 50f in 25 minutes with my IC hooked up to tap water only.

It takes about 4-5 min to cool mine down to 60f. We have 38 degree tap water
 
We got a few inches last night. Schools closed and everything. Really wasn't THAT much snow, TBH, but They said they were cutting back on overtime for the plows, due to cost cuts, and it was Sunday evening. Supposed to get a few more today.
 
Not much snow here yet- just big fluffy white flakes. The roads have been messy though. My exhusband was in a car accident Friday night, along with his wife. Guess who drove by and found them? My son. He was petrified but his dad and step mom are ok, but he called the ambulance initially for her. Yesterday, my daughter was in an accident, too. She wasn't driving, her friend was, and they were on the way back to college when they hit a deer. It was quite a weekend for my poor kids!
 
Went on a road trip this weekend with SWMBO to halifax (Neil Young concert :rockin: ) and they had 24" of snow... and I never saw an accident..... On my way back to Fredericton there was no snow but 2 cars upside down in the ditch at 2 different locations)...

Hope we dont have a winter like last year.. :drunk:
