Nothing makes me more nostalgic and homesick than.................snow.
Aww how lucky don't ever get snow where I live ,have to go further south or back to the land of my birth bonny Scotland,,and it's summer here now,but I am just listening to rod Stewart singing that very song let it snow,one of my favourites.
What a stupid comment - made only to stir the pot. What a shame that one has to twist an innocent post just to start a confrontation, and can't leave well enough alone! :mad: - but I suppose that one must consider the source, also!
And BTW blue - it's "you're" - not "your".
Well, no NEW snow, but the wind shifted overnight, so I didn't have to shovel quite as much as I thought I was going to have to to get LOH's van out of the driveway.
It's still fresh enough to drift the roads completely in, so going to the store last night was......amusing.
Downright fun if you like driving in it, which I do, as long as there's no one else on the roads, and it's rural enough so we have that luxury.
We are to get a wee bit more over night, but the temperatures are dropping now! I hope the winds don't start up. My house turns into a barn when it is windy!
The ski areas are loving the snow and low temperatures. I hope they have a great year because it was a bad year last year, for them. They need a good year every so many! Vermont depends on tourism to a great degree.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Happy New Year to everyone. :)
Here in Butler, there's about a foot of snow on the ground with another 2" coming this afternoon. Oh, goodie!
Yup - I hear ya. Being in a rural area and driving in it is much more to my "liking", than driving on more congested roads with a bunch of idiots that don't have a clue on how drive "safely" in it.
But rural + wind/snow = snowdrifts that can be quite a challenge in themselves. One year I was driving home from work when they finally decided to let us out a little early - the snow (blizzard!) was over but the wind was ferocious, and my car actually got blown across the road and into a huge drift. I was hopelessly stuck there, and had to wait for some kind soul to stop and push/pull me out! This was in the dark ages before I had a cell phone! :p
Those are the reasons I carry tow straps and other gear in the truck.
You never know when someone's going to need a hand. (though the person who managed to nose into the snowbank on the access road to the highway the other morning was waiting for the cops, I'm not pulling someone out when they're nose into a snow bank against traffic)
Lots of snow here & great for getting out & snowshoeing.
