Argh.....weather

Snow that is

We had snow for the last three months up here. Started mid december and had snow (and ice) til last week or so. Most of it melted (thank you) after I got stuck, twice. I hate being stuck. Being stuck on a level road is just pointless. I know, I should have taped it and put in on youtube

But today it started to snow again. I thought it was over...

Drove home from my momīs house, about 60 kmīs (~ 40 miles), took 90 minutes. Could see 20m (60 feet) in front of me while going home, not funny! Had an average speed of about 25-30 mph. You could see nothing!

Now we have about 6-8 inches of snow outside and the wind is kicking in (30-40 knots announced for tomorrow). Maybe I just stay in bed and enjoy my warm home.

I guess Iīll blame it on global warming

Btw, this is the hardest winter we had in a long time, my mum is 57 years old and she doesnīt remember a winter this long since she can remember.

Should I put a flame thrower on my car?

Ahhh... I live in Yuma. Google that weather!

BTW... I'm in shorts and a T, feeling a little chilly at 65.

Cīmon Mark, Iīd love to have that temperatures right now.
In two and a half weeks I have some time off, maybe I can join you there

26 Degrees Fahrenheit right now which is right around -3°C. Hereīs a conversion table:

Being in Yuma, you should get at least a quad for you and your wife and go to the dunes near you ^^

Yesterday finally got rid of the last of the nearly 4 feet of snow around the trailer that fell here last month.

Come On SPRING!

Actually itīs a nice feeling to be welcomed by you guys. Though Iīd love to visit you and the US I do have another option I probably wonīt withstand.

But visiting the USA and of course you guys and gals is not out of question

Kris

BTW: it stopped snowing, just 8 inches of snow so I guess everything will be fine tomorrow

Been getting toasty during the day, here. Still in the teens at night. Finally thawing out in the plowed areas here. It'll take some rain to make a real dent with the melt-off. Rivers aren't even up yet.

Kris, where are you at over there?

Scroll out a little bit. Itīs just a couple of miles from the danish border. If you want great Hot Dogs, go to Denmark ^^

I'll take snow until April 1st...

That's when the snowmobile trails close.

After that, let it be 72 degrees and sunny.

Talked to a friend today who lives about 2 hours South of you. She said it started hitting this afternoon.
