I certainly hope that is a pciture from last year and not as things stand now! Brings back memories of winter 2000/01 when we had this freak winter and over 600 cm of snow (about 235 inches) fell over the course of the winter. At any point we had between 6 and 8 feet on the ground. It was impossible to find places to put snow when trying to clear your driveway. We had a storm or two every week and generally once a week everything shut down. Wildest winter I ever saw. Thankfully we only get a few feet typically and our temperature hovers back and forth around freezing so it is constantly melting and packing down so it rarely would look like your picture.

 

Darn, nfboy caught me posting a pic from Wabush, Labrador... neverless it was snow.. but here is my back yard last year..

 

 

Holy mackeral Mike...I take it those are 3 separate trees. Are those in your neighborhood? It's a good thing your HHR's weren't parked where that motorhome was.

 

Just a few random shots from around town!

 

Chain saw time.

 

I had to start my trip home to Louisiana from Janesville, WI the day after the storm. The interstate from Rockford to about Bloomington was still absolutely horrible (packed snow with patches of ice and slush) but my HHR handled like a charm. LOW TRACTION light came on once going up a hill. The biggest challenge was dodging the huge sheets of ice flying off of 18-wheelers when the interstate traffic finally got up to normal speeds.

I got to see a good cross-section of the storm's effects during the trip.

 

It's 8 days to Christmas and today I was outside today in a jean jacket.

I live in the second coldest capital city in the world, and I was wearing summer clothes!!! This is just wacked.

My wife's boss was telling her about her son asking about the (lack of) snow. She says, "how do you explain global warming to a 5 year old that wants snow on the ground for Christmas?"

 

Okie, for those that think there is no snow in Hawaii, this picture is from the 13,500 ft level on Mona Loa on the Big Island from my Jan 2006 trip..



And it is snowing up Nort here..

 

Nice picture Tom! I never knew there was snow in Hawaii. But, anywhere you have mountains, you have a chance of snow.
