Anyone want some snow?
« on: February 06, 2007, 04:52:43 PM »
Its official, we've set a new town record with todays snowfall- 57 inches in just under 12 hours. If I had a digital camera I'd post some pics, but alas I'm behind the technology curve. But heres a few from local news sources...

Heres what we had a few town over as of about 7 last night...


Another local town- got less snow than we did, but a lot more wind, so the drifting was worse.


About 15 miles south of where I live, got about 15 inches less. Lake effect snow is real screwy like that.


The same town as above, this is what it looked like her for about 8 hours this morning.


And its been cold enough to freeze one of the local waterfalls solid.


Ths is the local radar- that big blue band has been drifting back and forth from the canadian border down to Syracuse and back since Friday.

And about 2 weeks ago we had grass showing, and a month ago it was in the 60s.

About 3 weeks ago we set the record for a low temp. in Tucson. It got to 20 degrees at the airport, which is usually a bit warmer than the rest of town. Later that same wekk we got about 2 inches of snow.

Yesterday and today it got up to 80 and I'm running the AC. Go figure.....

Lucky bastages!  We're supposed to have more snow Thursday and Friday, right as it all started to melt:D  Contrary to 85% of the Colorado population I do quite enjoy the snow.

You sound like me and my area.

I love to hear people whine. "Oh I hope it doesnt snow I hate the snow"
To which I look them dead  square in the eye and tell them in all seriousness.

"Then why the hell are you living here? This is the north, Its wintertime. Its SUPPOSED to snow. If you dont like the snow then you should move someplace warmer, Like Florida, Or better yet Cuba.
I will never understand why people who whine about snow STAY and LIVE in an area where it snows!
Dont just complain about it.
Migrate man, migrate. Migrate the hell out of here."

They usually dont really like that. But hell, as soon as they start whining about the snow, they might as well have a "kick me" sign hanging around their neck.

and invariably whenever I go into that routine and a crowd is around. there is always someone else who agres with me that chimes in with a "Thats right"

Which usually shuts the recipient up. albeit a bit redfaced.

And I get a good chuckle

yep..  we will probly not hear about "man made global warming" for at least a few months....  If we have three big winters and a couple of mild summers in a row...

the whole "man made global warming" lie will just collapse....
 
I was around for the 1976 "global ice age" scare...  3 good summers and the panic mongers and hand wringing chicken littles couldn't get even women to worry any more.

Because we live on the eastern edge of a Great Lake right in the path of the prevailing winds?

We get lake effect from October to March, warm weather has nothing to do with it. In fact most of our worst storms come in March or even early April when Lake Ontario is at its coldest.

Possibly because it's Winter???? Maybe because El Nino has changed the track of the jetstream so that we got snow in Tucson along with some very cold temperatures?

Yep, like the rest said.  Winter :rofl

I predict, through scientific research, that's it's gonna be warm in Summer also.

Mark this date so you can reference it, cause I'll be right.
