Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2006OTP: What's this thing?
Bob and I live in a desert zone. When the folks in WV, MI, WI, etc began talking about snowblowers and shovels, Bob had to ask a question. <g> ------------------------------------------------- Area: MEMORIES Msg#: 64960 Date: 10-08-06 16:49 From: Joe Mackey To: Bob Breed Subj: Winter Weather ------------------------------------------------- -=> Quoting Bob Breed to Ross Sauer <=- BB> Joe and I wonder what the devil is this "Snow" BB> stuff you mention? Is it something like rain, BB> falls from the sky, or what? It's bits of white. Looks sorta like laundry powder, only it doesn't necessarily make you sneeze. Falls from the sky, sort of like that wet stuff called "rain", only its frozen. Pretty when alone but they will cling together once on the ground. The sound of walking on it is akin to squeezing a box of baking soda... Joe M ... Microsoft Windows: More holes in it than Swiss Cheese. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 > Bob and I live in a desert zone.

Argh! this is at elast 2-3 weeks early for first snow. I've been busting my butt since returning from my mom's trying to take care of the last of the harvest. Last year we hit this point in late Oct., this year our first freeze was a month earlier. Meanwhile, the firs are LOADED with cones. Looks like a harsh and long winter ahead.

(pardon my vernacular) SoCal has been told/warned that this could be a very *wet* winter. Most of the area was not built to handle the runoff. Roads cross rivers at level, two huge shopping malls built in a river bed - and the owners want the taxpayers to finance the construction of drainage systems. ... We've got what it takes to take what you have - U.S. Congress We have been told a mild winter with little precipitation when really we desperately need rain. The NE part of BC has had 1/5 the amount of precipitation since June that they usually have. not that Victoria is complaining but we have had less than 1/2.

It has been very dry in the southern interior as well. One drawback here with the mild winters is that the pine beetle is not being killed off. Our forests have been literally ravaged by the pine beetle. I went to Kamloops not long ago, and was totally shocked by the extent of the bug-kill. It was not only mature trees like the government wishes to believe. It was also seedlings. We need a cold winter with lots of snow. (As much as that would be h-e-l-l for me.)

Firemen still use reverse lays. >> heh - we have a winter storm predicted for this coming weekend! > Now that sucks! (pardon my vernacular) We agree totally! Had snow showers on and off all day today with a bitter windchill. We *were* going to go to a nearby high school football game tomorrow night as we know one of the band members, but the weather may change our minds. It's only supposed to reach 36F tomorrow and with thw wind, the lack of sun and the snow prediction, a nice warm house appeals so very much more!
