Seriously, I am done with winter. This year it started early and just won’t go. As tomorrow is the first day of spring I suggest we pass a resolution banning snow until next year.
It’s not just the roads, and my driveway either. It’s seriously cutting into the use of my flashlights. How am I supposed to check out the throw on my lights when it’s snowing again. I swear each time I get a new light it snows for three nights straight just to tick me off. Today I got my new BTU Shocker so of course it’s snowing like mad. Snow should be illegal. However, that probably wouldn’t be a good idea because somehow I would end up getting a ticket.
Where are you from? I am in winnipeg, manitoba, canada and we have been sitting at –20c STILL!!! Tonight is –30c with the wind chill! and just got 25cm of snow. Last year at this time it was +20c!
My son was so excited this morning to see more snow on top of the old dirty snow. I was not quite as enthused.
I do vaguely remember reacting in a similar fashion when I was a kid; as opposed to the grown up kid I am now
We’ve had spring-like weather for several weeks, so most of the snow is gone. I think it’s a trick, though; I ain’t taking the snowblower off the tractor until May.
Just got in the door from a 13.8km night ski tour exercise. Temp was –7 and 5cm fresh snow made for a real fast track, which made it very enjoyable. GPS said average speed was 4.5km/hr with top speed reached of 18.6km/hr. With conditions like that, I’d take winter year round! Pity you in Winnipeg however.
Same weather pattern here in the Northeast of the US another 100 plus inches of snow this year well into the top 5 for all time snowfall recorded ever. It’s very interesting to note the top 5 snowfalls records of all times for my region occurred from 1992 to present and they have been keeping records for well over 100 years. I am ready for spring.
It is not quite as cold here, but it should be 10 deg. C. now but it will be subzero for the next five days. It is the time of year to walk in the park with my 2yr old son without scarfs thick coats, gloves and moaning about the cold wind.
No idea what oil costs round you - but I’ll bet it is around 6x what gas costs - as it is here. My usual power consumption is around 500W - lately it’s been 5kW (At 33c per KWh).
