I live in central Nebraska and pretty much had enough of this winter stuff. Have to add that I love the snow, but this cold weather has become a real pain in the knees as well as the arse.
Time for some nice weather until next seasons rut!

Spring?  Wassthat??  Here in Nove Scotia we get 6 inches of snow then it HAS to change to freezing rain, just to make driving that little bit more interesting.  Then after several hours of that it then changes to rain.  Usually about 30 mm.  Than after all that then it freezes.  Oh what joy.  Spring.  CAN'T COME QUICK ENOUGH AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I am with buckeye hunter on this one. I am hoping that they can't get all of the snow out of downtown Columbus and I can have a 3 day weekend. One of the perks in being a teacher.
You guys remeber snow days- don't you?

Post by: akbowbender on March 09, 2008, 01:34:00 PM
Since SteveH didn't give a weather report, I will. Rain! At least I don't have to shovel it, and it is making quick work of our snow.

I did take advantage of the situation by going over to his house for a little show 'n tell. I brought over my new Assenheimer, and he showed me all his bows, completed and works in progress, and his many critter mounts, horns, antlers, sculls, etc. Was an enjoyable evening.

Thanks, Steve. You helped get me through one day of winter!

Man, Send it to Hershey, PA!  This has been the winter that wasn't.  All season, we've had nothing but rain, freezing rain, ice storms like I've never seen, a couple of 1.5" teaser snows, freezing rain, and more rain.  Literally, we have not had enough snow to break out our cross-country skiis or to take our kids sledding even once.  The only real snow I've seen in PA has been, ironically, manmade snow at our local Ski Resort.  Thank Heavens we took a snowboarding trip to Colorado this year, or we'd have forgotten what real, "real" snow looks like!

I grew up in No. East Ohio so I can relate to that weather.  Hang in there; before long you will be complaining about the humidity.

It was 77 F hear in Fallbrook and the sky is clear.  We are now behind a bit on rain and I hope we get some more this month or we will have to ask Bjorn and the No. Cal. folks to send us some more.

Deadpool, I have two feet of fun in my back yard.  You can come up here and play in it if you want.  youbetter hurry though the temps are going up next week and it won't last long.  You can even shoot that new bow if you want. You may as well leave that JD berry here though, since you won't be needing it any more.

that's Okay I am still breaking in my Pierce Point Robertson. and I have a yew on the way.  I was just wondering how good you would be at chopping ice, my drive way has got two inches of it under the snow that I haven''t shoveled. I have a traditional shovel and spud bar, no carbon in either one, straight grip on both.

Went out shed hunting yesterday - too much snow - but the deer trails were easy to walk on! Came across two young guys walking the ice age trail and had spent the night in 10F weather. Nice kids and had a good time as I was invited to share their fire.
No sheds but I did see a chimunk sitting on top of 10-14" of snow and he looked way outta place!

Snow? Come up here to Manitoba and we'll teach you a few things about snow, and cold for that matter.
According to the calendar spring begins in March - so we Manitobans hear and laugh about, just as we do the fact that winter supposedly doesn't start until late December.

Unfortunately mother nature doesn't agree with these dates and seems to have a strong preference for snow and cold.
