Snow

27 days 'til Spring.

Unless you live in the desert.

Here it's more like 27 days 'til summer.

I'm hoping that this will be a Spring in NJ like the old days...instant transition into Summer.

It got us today. Blizzard driving to work. Roads grind to a halt. World War III in the school quad on arrival.

Then it started to melt so we wern't sent home.

Further proof of the non-existence of God (unless he's an Old Testament bugger).

HA!!!

and we've still got it. In fact, it's getting worse...

I know Spring can't be too far off. The skunks are out in Pagosa.

A lot of snow here in Luxembourg and in Belgium, especially the Ardennes hills.

My new girlfriend, who is 37 and lives in Malta, touched snow for the first time in her life this weekend in Brussels.

Still nothing as yet here in SW England. :rsmile:

Damned cold though !

You've been listening to this I bet

Nearly all the schools in the area closed this afternoon...except the one I work in!

Wainting for snow. We're expecting 4-8 inches.

[nmorin]

I'm originally from the western part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on the Lake Superior Coast, where, as a result of lake effect snow, the average annual snowfall is about 230 inches, and the record is 355 inches. The tough part isn't really the total snowfall, it's that we'll get snow just about every damned day, and that the sky will be grey for 5 or 6 days a week for months. On the plus side, Lake Superior acts like a hot water bottle, so we don't get the bone crushing cold that Minnesota and the Dakotas get. Still, I'll take 8 inches of snow over the freezing rain crap we get here in DC and in the Carolinas.

I never could understand the excitement of Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and the other one (?) when they were sat on that train in 'White Christmas' and burst into:

"snow....Snow....SNOWWWWW"!

Vera-Ellen was her name I believe. No doubt doomed to be known throughout the annals of film history as "the other one".

Drugs. Entertainment biz.

The same old...

Thank you. I would never have recalled that name. In fact I think I've already forgotten it...

Mmmmm, I think it was "The Other One with the Mighty Fine Legs"

Vera Ellen was just not 'another one'. She was a pretty actress and a good cancer.

She did very well in 'On The Town' another classic from the team that gave us 'Singin' In The Rain', Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly!

Hate the snow! But spending a White Christmas with a Vera Ellen would be bliss

I assume that was 'a good dancer'?

[Noj]

I might dislike some things about snow and the cold if it didn't provide me the ecstacy that is snowboarding.

[randissimo]

I live in west Michigan and I'm so fareekin' tired of lake effct snow, ice, salty roads, gray daze, & freezing rain... .... My mountain bike is tuned up and patiently waiting for spring.. I'm the one getting impatient! ..... Just 4 more weeks to go before the spring equinox, when it will be time to once again pop in Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring" and if it's warm enough, open some damn windows!

Try this one as an alternative. 'Enter Spring' works at that point when you think it's spring and then winter suddenly bites back for a few days...and then back comes spring...

There's an inexpensive Naxos version:

Which also sets you up for the following season!

No snow today; bright blue skies and a lovely sunset just now. I went out for a walk this evening, about two miles around the nearby woods and pond. Holy crap was it cold! Beautiful, though.

We're looking at something on Monday. If it comes up the coast by sea, snow. By land, rain.

I'm hoping for rain.
