We have accumulated over two feet of snow in the last week. It is snowing like hell right now and it reminds one of that movie, "The Day After Tomorrow". I wonder what the start of an ice age looks like. Does it just start to snow...and not stop? I don't think we are entering into an ice age.......But still..........:roll:;-)

Naw, this is what we're supposed to get.

This is what we used to get.

When I was a little whipper snapper, we had snow in one night up to my shoulders. Our front yard had 7's snow drifts, it'd go on for days.

Then again I also lived a few minutes from Mt. Thom, but I'm used to it.

They just said on the news on tv that this is the first time all of Canada will get a white christmas since 1971 or 70 something.

Until they say there is no current record for the amount of snow we're getting, there's not much to worry about.

For now, enjoy it.

As for me, I couldn't get to work today because the magazine hill was backed up all the way to the chicken burger. Now most of you out of the Maritimes probably don't have a clue what that all is, let's just say no buses showed for over two hours while I waited out in those 130km gusts and snow.

So by the time I would have gotten to work, I'd be going home anyways.

Enjoy it??? The weatherman just promised us another 20cm of snow to go with the 70 cm we've already had. I don't like shoveling snow. In fact, I hate shoveling snow. The mini-mountain range that the snowplows are building on the sides of the streets is over six feet high in some areas. Sh it! Merry Christmas....

the great crash, it was up for five days waiting for some wind, not that much though, I guess I need schedual 40 pipe.

That was some wicked wind ehh?

Schedule 40 and some guy wires with 6 foot deep anchor rods. Then you'll be cooking with harvested electrons!

I guess it's not a good time to launch my environmentally-friendly popsycle business.

In spite of knowing the risk I opted to shave some expence and time off the installation.That was also the second prop in a month. They cost about ten bucks worth of spruce but two days of hand carving.
