Back in the 80's living in Slidell, in February, there was a snow. Several neighborhood kids knocked on the door and said that they knew we were from the north and asked if we could show them how to make a snow man? So we put on our coats and went outside and showed them how to roll the snow forming a big snow ball, and stack several to form a snowman. By the time they were finished, there was no snow on several front lawns, and the snowman was about 3' tall! The remaining snow was melted by noon!
I'm scared!!!!!!!!!!! HELP

Don't worry, the pass road is clear. Just throw a log on the fire, pour a schnaps, and heat up the fondue.
Jeez! How tall is that feller?
I' m 6 and feel like a dwarf.
Here's some advice the old superintendant of the state liquor authority
gave me many years ago. It will help. Get a bottle of Black Velvet.
Sit down in your favorite lounger. Sip on the BV. Pretty soon you will
be out of this world.

It's terrible. Hardly made 70 here in the AZ Outback.
Well, if one of these shows up in your back yard 'cause it's been starved out of the mountains you'll know you're in REAL trouble. This gal showed up with her calf in my daughter's back yard in the middle of town last year. Spent a couple of weeks eating her trees.

Can I get your zip code? We don't get near enough snow around here for me to get my snowshoes out. My SUBARU needs a workout as well. [emoji846]

We had a little snow accumulation in San Antonio and surrounding areas last night. The first time that's happened here in over 30 years. My dogs were really confused, they had never before encountered snow.

Yeah, we're getting a light dusting here which means a general panic in Chattanooga.
This doesn't bode well for my wife's Christmas package that has fallen into the SmartPost black hole abyss between our new local FedEx terminal and Post Office located about a mile apart from each other and less than 5 miles from my home. Now they can blame a snow dusting 'blizzard' for another week of cluelessness. Oh well... at least it gives me something to gripe about during an otherwise pleasant holiday season.

I am looking around for some SOCKS, I know I had some, somewhere!
We may get some snow...
We may get some snow this weekend. Usually our snows come after Christmas. Snow's not too bad. After all it is the middle of December.
I'd rather have a little snow than a Christmas like the one they are having in California.

Somewhere around 4-5" and still falling. Most we've had here in probably 50 years. I felt more like playing in it last time.

My husband's height translated into Portuguese is 198cm.
When we travel in Europe, with so many of it's guest beds equipped with both headboards and footboards, we often need to disassemble and reassemble beds so that he fits with his feet hanging off. He sometimes feels like Gulliver in the land of Lilliputians.

No snow here in the Carson Valley, but cold. Yesterday morning I had to break the ice in my horse's water. I'm not exaggerating; 3 inches thick.
Last year we had snow and ice. My studded snow tires did their job. Going over the Sierras on Hwy 88 is also fun. There are times when the California DOT requires chains for 2WD vehicles and chains or snow tires for 4WD vehicles, and a reduced speed of 25 mph for all vehicles. This is where the fun starts. There are people who think they know all there is to driving on ice and snow. "Chains? That's for other people. Reduced speed limit? Not for me." The best I have seen was a 6 car accident. Then further on was a 3 car accident. I have to admit that I enjoy seeing these accidents that are due to some drivers' arrogance and stupidity.

Ok=here's what we do ==We have a Donner Party Memorial Barbecue every year:
Stock up on:
"Lady's Fingers" (Harder to find a real lady anymore, so any young woman will do)
Italian Sausage (Anyone one with an Italian name will do)
Polish (See above) Sausage
Tartar Sauce (Tartars are REALLY hard to fund=might have to settle for any Turk).
Wife was at Claimjumper and gave our name for a table. A few minutes later, they announce "Donner Party! Donner Party for dinner!" and she said "That's us!" Saw only a few people smiling.........

Know that area well; lived there for over 20 years. Used to shoot at Carson Valley clays as well as Capital and Walker River.
Hwy 50 heading west out of S Lake Tahoe is another "fun" road when it's snowy and icy
