Cloudy with a chance of meatballs here in NYC.

[Bugeater]

Light snow, I'm fucking sick of it. I don't see how you Canucks deal with this shit.

[Over-Head]

Light snow, I'm ****ing sick of it. I don't see how you Canucks deal with this shit.
Easy, we get 9 months of snow, and 3 months of black flies and mosquitoes (sp), and bad skiing :D

ROFL We had 15 inches Friday and 6 more wednesday night. It's been brutal. I was listening to the scanner yesterday and a kid apparently got beat up by some other kids and he was found laying in the snow and died from hypothermia.

Heh, that looks about right. :shake: I am getting sick of this winter fast! Wave after wave of snow showers, non-stop this winter. I don't know whether the ground hog saw his shadow when he came out of his hole the other day, but the way things look, we are in for at least another six weeks of winter regardless. Oh, and either way, the little bastard is catching a .220 Swift round if I see him!

It sounds like there's going to be More snow on the way Sunday........... :spock:

Global warming my ass! About now, Mother Nature can kiss my nuts.

[PhillyChiefFan]

Harrisburg PA...me and Otter are about to get wholloped with snow.

[Nzoner]

Light snow here but not light enough that I could skip sweeping the walks and deck.

[DaKCMan AP]

70 degrees, afternoon thunderstorms, low of 60.

[Sofa King]

snow everywhere.... more to come the next 3 days...

warmed up to 32 right now i see..

[MoreLemonPledge]

I hate to be petty, but "global warming" is just an all-encompassing term that refers to climate change caused by humans. It's really a misnomer.

[Nzoner]

70 degrees, afternoon thunderstorms, low of 60.

What's the forecast for the game?

[DaKCMan AP]

What's the forecast for the game?

Sunny, high in the upper 60s, low in the mid-50's. In other words... perfect.

That ground hog needs a stick of dynamite up his wazzoo! I'm sick of it too.

The bad part is that the mountains (Crazies, Castles, Little Belts) aren't getting much snow pack. It's not good snow we're getting, it's annoying snow.

[Bwana]

Damn right!

ROFL

[Otter]

We're due for about 12 inches here too and you would think the world is coming to end.

We go through this every year and every year people go out and clean the shelves off the grocery stores even though there isn't going to be one minute from the start of the storm until the end where you're actually going to be shut in.

People are crazy.

Here's a story I knew you could appreciate Bwana. Punatawny Phil is a groundhog they pull out once a year in western PA for a celebration to break up winter.

Suh-weet!
I’ve got one of my Dad’s rifles in my gun locker that is a Savage Model 110 .30-06 with a floating stock very similar to that one.
That rifle makes obscenely long shots so ridiculously easy it almost feels like cheating. Almost. It’s such a fine piece I don’t break it out for much more than showing off at the range.

[Mr. Laz]

2"-4" of snow

Actually this winter hasn't been bad at all. A welcome change after 2 very long and brutal winters the past 2 years. Thank goodness, snowblower lost a bearing and bent the main power shaft - damn Tecumseh engines, can't get the part either, to old.

[007]

They are talking 9 inches of this shit on Sunday evening here. Not looking forward to the drive home from work Sunday night. I wonder if my boss would arrange safe transportation for me.

More like a cot next to your desk.I don't think so Tim.

[sd4chiefs]

It's going to rain here all day tomorrow. Looks like no golf for me. :(

[chefsos]

I'm living under a State of Emergency! No non-essential personnel permitted on the roads after 10pm, though I just got home (from Walmart, which closed at 9 to the amazement of many) at 10:25. I guess I broke some kinda law.

Expecting two feet of snow on the ground by tomorrow afternoon...

[Lumpy]

<==== Expecting at least 8" by tomorrow night. Heh.

[alanm]

We got a dusting from this storm yesterday. Today was sunny and 40. :thumb:
