In fact think I will pour myself a cup of coffee and go out on the patio and enjoy it.Gary ("Old Dude")https://www.blogger.com/profile/00840287762340872772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-1888636912595046742009-02-26T08:58:00.000-05:002009-02-26T08:58:00.000-05:00White stuff, less than 300 inches is a mild winter...White stuff, less than 300 inches is a mild winter, over 400 is pushing into record territory. I know about elevation adding to the amount of snowfall. My place UP on the tundra is about 1000-1100 ft above Lake Superior so the clouds will dump their stuff on the high ground and down by the lake won't get anything. <BR/><BR/>The lack of snow in the south doesn't make up for the other disadvantages.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-66471167520033157812009-02-24T13:34:00.000-05:002009-02-24T13:34:00.000-05:00Not that far away from you and it's been a very mi...Not that far away from you and it's been a very mild February.

Ours was packed hard, but it blew okay once I got a tunnel going.<BR/><BR/>BBC - We have plenty of lights. I have LED bike lights we use also. One I keep strapped to my forehead. I turn it on strobe and chase the critters around the house. They really freak out.<BR/><BR/>El Cerdo Ignatius - I am reminded of a weather man who did his thing out in Phoenix. I was there in the 1970s passing through with a tour. All of a sudden one of those once every 50 years rains came down and flooded much of the valley. The weather guy missed in his prediction. He said some rain, but not the 2 or 3 inches they got. He received death threats.<BR/><BR/>Kulkuri - Yeah we have never had an early spring either. Our elevation ensures that. If we get 10 inches of snow, 8 miles away they might see 4" or none at all. I just get tired of the routine this time every year. And lately it seems we are seeing more snow more often and later in the season than we used to. Looks to be another 100 inch plus year.<BR/><BR/>We've gone PC I guess. I still use the term Mainiacs, but on my blog I figure not many folks would get it. So you are a Yooper? Bet you have had your fill of the white stuff. How do you like it in the South?MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-2526873999933360472009-02-24T10:25:00.000-05:002009-02-24T10:25:00.000-05:00I have lived most of my life north of the 45th par...I have lived most of my life north of the 45th paralel, so that business of the groundhog has never meant anything to me. I never can remember which means an early spring and which is six more weeks of winter because usually six more weeks is an early spring.<BR/><BR/>Side question, when did Mainiacs become Mainers?? I think the Air Guard unit at Bangor is still called the Mainiacs. Last time I was there I got one of their decals to put on my toolbox.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-51718581378557173562009-02-24T10:07:00.000-05:002009-02-24T10:07:00.000-05:00Demeur: The weather guys around here have it pret...Demeur: <I>The weather guys around here have it pretty easy.

They just predict rain all the time and when it doesn't rain nobody cares. We figure that's just a bonus. Only had one snow storm that they missed in the early 90s. We did get socked pretty good in December but they were on it.<BR/>So what do you do for heat when the power goes out?Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
