NoVa? Oh dear, you better stock up on TP and bottled water 6 months in advance of someone mentioning snow or else the grocery shelves will be cleared out. I'd also generally avoid the roadways as all the SUV's running around at 90mph in 2wd mode on bald tires will be crashing into you. :D
How did you get the meat back? On the plane or shipped?

I really miss the snow.
This is my first winter away from the snow - I'm in shorts and a tshirt with the windows open. I haven't had to rake leaves or shovel snow or wait 20 minutes for the heater to warm up while my hands barely wrap around the steering wheel. :D
Flurrying today in Salt Lake City area. Been cold all week but sunny. Forecast for the next week is all cloudy...

Snow, what the hell is that ?? I can't remember the last time I saw snow in orlando :D:D As bad as the drivers are here it would be the apocolypse if it were to
snow down here !!
S.M.
Grew up here - lived here for over 30 years. This area of NOVA attracts lots of folks due to DC, which means a lot from the non-snow driving states as well. Heck a snow flake and the beltway shuts down. The climate would attract palm trees if we didnt have our cold spells, and decent amounts of snow are rare enough, hence no serious investment of snow removal.
Welcome!
Ive had my fill of this snow today here in NOVA.
#1 Already been chased & had to chase a big wet dog around (a#@hole)
#2 Moved my truck off the street because people around here forget how to drive.
I like it warm period!
I can't imagine winter without snow. The more the better.

Didn't have my GPS but best guess via Google Earth is in the vicinity of:
37 6' 28''n
81 12' 4''W
You can perch on that spot in GE and the Moutain shots match.

I kinda miss the snow, being from Michigan originally, but don't miss the brutal winters at all. Y'all can have it! It's been in the 50's and 60's in the Tampa area the last few days and people are having a cow.:p
Turns out that my dog is perfectly colored to blend in with the dead leaves/snow combo in the woods out back. Little SOB ambushed me 3 times...

Awesome...;)
You wouldn't figure a 20# Jack Russel could knock a 190# dude on his ass...and then he hits you high because he believes he's 150# and can jump fricken 6' in the air.
Goddamned undignified, is what it was.

Your work out routine looks like mine. Dig it! The forest looks very similar too, but not the sign. Where are you in the U.S.?

I really miss the snow.
We're about ready to get hit with a foot of "heavy" snow with blizzard like conditions on Tuesday and into Wednesday. I'll take pics for you.
Stupid winter storms always happen during my work week. :mad:
And to top things off, my pregnant wife said that she think she may be ready to go any day now.:eek:

We are getting dumped on right now by that storm going up the Northeast coast. It started about 11 PM and I would say we have over a foot on the ground now.
I was born and raised in Syracuse NY. i spent 7 years at Ft.Drum and i hate snow i hate being cold. I spent 4 years in the middle east and i loved it. No snow no rain and its hot. For all you people that love the snow good for you you can have my share that i nolonger use. I stay where its nice and hot to warm only. The only time i wear pants is to work.
Buddy of mine up in NOVA told me it was still snowing last night and he had about 24" on the ground.
Here in Richmond, we got about 10".

Well I am about 7 miles west of Dulleas airport on rt 50. Ant my house we had close to 28" and had a Dam drift in the driveway almost 4 feet.......I HATE this crap......I spent 2 hrs digging it out and then got another 5" on it after I cleared it off.
(Rant on)
Oh yea I almost bagged me a Snow Plow driver, I had got the drive all shoveled out and then he comes by and piles a 4' high bearm up in front of my drive.
I went out and asked him nice if he could angel his blade to the center of the ally and move it for me he just told me suck it up. I swear I was mad dam mad.............If this would of been down in Texas...........(rant off)
It is crazy - 24" - had to make dog path just for normal animal operating procedures.
Was actually on top of it and both vehicles are 4wd and ready to go - nowhere! Its Sunday so other than dogs/kids - its watching football. Too bad the Todd's Pistol Training class was axed - would of had an excuse yesterday.
Stafford, VA Around noon yesterday, and we got at least another 6+ on top of that.

I was in Albany, GA this week, and drove up from the Richmond airport Friday night. A 1hr drive that took 4hrs.
Snow was too high for ninja-dog to move easily, much less flatten me, which didn't keep him from trying to tear around. The look of frustration on his face was comical.
I spent 3 hours today digging out. People act like the end is coming. My G/F just came back from the store and all of the eggs, milk, and TP are GONE! It's not like we had any warning that winter was coming. :rolleyes:

I don't mind snow...as long as I don't have to go out in it, like say, to work or to school. I'd be perfectly content to sit home next to the fireplace, field stripping my AR, waiting...just waiting for this global ****ING WARMING I've been hearing about for the past decade or so! So, yeah, I don't mind snow.
Say, anybody want to watch a movie with me? How 'bout 'The Shining' or 'Misery' perhaps?!

This is what my 1999 Dodge Durango looked like before I dug it out today:

I tried to drive to the local Lowe's for some more Ice Melt and it didn't make it 10-feet before it got stuck!! :(
I'm getting cabin fever bad. It wouldn't be so bad if the damned squirrels would come out and gave me a target... err... play.
Waist deep yesterday. Once I dug the Audi out, she was good to go.

Yeah Bro the weather in SoCal is a little out of control. I actually had to wear a long sleeve shirt on my run. OK who am I kidding...I took it off within 5 minutes. It's like 70 here. NO white Christmas for me! Booo

Good for you, but can't imagine Christmas without the chance of snow at least. But that's what a lifetime in the Northeast will do to one, I suppose.
Meant to add that I am beyond sore after digging not just myself, but 3 neighbors out of our 2 ft of snow as well. Never really felt my 40 years as much as I did this weekend, but then again I did about 5 times what anyone else did around me. So many seniors to help here, but so be it.

Some of us like real Seasons(see previous page). I will keep an occasional overly-agressive snowfall and you can keep the Wildfires, Mud Slides and Earthquakes, Mountain Lions, Grizzlys and the Governator.
The worst Earthquake in my life was a Three and we haven't had a bad fire season since 91.
The grass is always greener.
BTW: Nice Sweater.

Dude seriously I hate CA! I'm only here temporarily Thank GAWD. Although as a kid in Wisconsin I did get frostbite when my mom's car broke down in a blizzard and we had to walk to the next farm. Good times. Have a nice white Christmas!
I feel your pain.
This was our house two years ago.

We only ended up getting about 18" so we got off a lot easier than most places that got hit by that same storm.
Snow? What is this snow stuff people keep talking about?
