I wanna move to Savhanna
freepas
I ain't fraid of no snow...... ;) ;D
Are they still calling for it on Fri-Sat?
You know there is a bright side to having snow......You don't have to cut the grass!.....Now I guess someone is going to say,yeah,but you have to shovel the snow...........................
Joe :(
In case you snow getters forgot from last year.........DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW !
It's still in the 80's here.
AT NIGHT
nepas - The problem isn't the snow; it's just that your snow is so poorly behaved. We have snow but ours stays where it's supposed to be - up on top of a big mountain where we can visit, take pictures, and spend the rest of the day at the beach. You, on the other hand, let your snow run wild in the streets. If you accept that kind of abysmal behavior, you have no right to complain about it.

It's more fun to have in the streets...helps me keep my dirt racing cornering skills. Nothing like a 2 block powerslide drift.
It is damn pretty in the mountains isn't it Ka? ;D ;D ;D
Suppose to go to 97 by Friday...SWEET...cool weather is upon us!!! ???
I have to jump on the other side of the fence, I cannot wait for the snow !
Yes, a snow lover. I play golf in the summer only because I cannot ski ( no snow around here )
I have watched 3 ski movies in the last 2 weeks. We have had heavy frosts that look like snow and only
fuel my frozen fantasies.
I teach disable kids to ski when I am not teaching abled kids to ski or getting some free skiing in on my own.
Teaching kids with missing limbs, extreme cognitive disabilities, MS, CP, you name it has to be one of the most
rewarding things I have ever done in my life.
Its amazing how appreciative a kid with no cognitive or verbal skills can be after he or she has had an amazing day
sliding down ski hills.
Bring it on baby, I am ready

I'm still chuckling over Ka's abysmal behaviour comment but I can always use more smiles. Have you got video of this dance Nepas?

Oakville--good on you for working with those kids. Where do you ski?
I-95 is lookin' good ;D

So when are you heading south? Before Xmas?

Thanks, nepas; your dance must have worked - no sign of snow here (and I didn't even have to see you in your loincloth).
T Squared
Stuck in Ontario for the most part. 860 feet of vertical is as good as it gets within a 2 hour drive
I teach in the Collingwood area north of Toronto at a private ski club. I usually pick up a season pass at a place called Blue Mountain ( not sure where the mountain part comes from LOL ) The last couple of years I have managed 47 days of skiing. This year I would love to break 50 and I have a ton of vacation days to use up. My boss is going to wonder if I still work here come March ! He and his wife need ski lessons so I will probably have to oblige
Usually I try to get away for a couple of weeks of ski therapy, this year it is looking like Sunday River in Maine, incredible resort, 131 runs, tons of extreme terrain. they even opened a run yesterday just to say they could. All at the higher elevations but open none the less. In March, I should be heading to Stowe Vermont for 3 days at Stowe to ski the "front 4" and 2 at Sugarbush.
While you guys will be buried in snow, I will be in my shorts smokin.
I take the pic with slight snow, cant really see much.

Rick, its been snowing here all day, grounds still pretty warm but the snow is now starting to stick. Cool..... snow in the middle of October. ;D ;D ;D
We had snow last week end, some wheres around 3" here on sat then warming sun and rain. Now its all gone and raining almost every day.
The power company called and said they are shutting down power to the whole area tomorrow from 8:30am to 2:30pm to upgrade the transformer station. Weather service is calling for 4-12 inches of heavy wet snow. You would think the power company could have scheduled this a month ago to avoid this but noooooo. >:(

If you used last year's loin cloth, it's no wonder it's snowing...the loin cloth fell off.......

They probably scheduled the work but not the snow. But, combining the work with the snow - better buy some candles and get a propane smoker expressed out. ;D

I doubt it , still working yet, see here (http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/carnie1/photo.jpg)
nice weather for the pumpkin patch , supposed to be crappy all weekend too they say
QuoteBut, combining the work with the snow - better buy some candles and get a propane smoker expressed out.
I have a propane smoker, but thats not going to help much if there is no heat in the house. :(
Someone said they may delay this 1 month if that big storm actually hits. The storm will most likely knock the power out anyway. So if they delay it, then they will be doing the work in November, another nice month to be without power. ???
Carnie1, Yea that does not look like a good time at all. Yes all weekend is supposed to be like this or worse. I guess next week its supposed to warm up into the 60's.

Just go to the bar ;D It snowed here all afternoon. I DON'T NEED THIS!
Next time you hear "But I love the seasons" just say, so do I. But I choose to live where I can avoid the crappy ones! :D
This was at 2:00pm today. YUCK

Rick, you got more than we did today. Lucky you. ;) ;D ;D ;D
The only snow I like is when it ends with a cone.
Quote from: pensrock on October 15, 2009, 07:25:28 PM... warm up into the 60's.
Warm up????? If it gets down to 60, I'm wearing almost everything in my wardrobe (all at once - layered) and sitting in the kitchen, wrapped in a blanket with the oven on.
Holy smokes Ka Hona at 60f i am still swimming in the ocean.lol.
Quote from: Quarlow on October 15, 2009, 10:44:51 PMHoly smokes Ka Hona at 60f i am still swimming in the ocean.lol.
Probably me, too, since the ocean here doesn't get below about 76o.

KH I hope you dont do that while "wearing almost everything in my wardrobe (all at once - layered) and sitting in the kitchen, wrapped in a blanket " :D

The 60's is really nice comfortable weather. I could stand that year round, if there were such a place. :)

That's probably true and if the neighbors were home you probably aren't ever getting anything free again :D
Looks like here in North FL we will finally get a cool down. Predicting low to mid 40's tonight and possibly mid 60's tomorrow.
Orlando is 85/65 with 60% chance of rain.
We're @ Disney (without kids) for our 21st Anniversary.
Hope you have a great time FLB, 85 is way too hot for me. A high of 75 and lows in the 50's, ahhhh perfect. :)
44 and raining here in IL. (should be 60) On the way to Charleston, SC for our anniversary tonight. 60s - 70s there.
Any good restaurant/BBQ recommendations? I know we have some former Charleston residents on the board. We're renting a small apartment near the children's hospital/college.
We did 82 Queen last time. Twice, actually.
It has been about 30 years since I was in Charleston so I can not help with the current BBQ joints. South Carolina and North Georgia has some of the best Brunswick Stew I have ever tasted. If you have never had any, you really should try it. Here where I live a couple of places sell what they call Brunswick Stew, but in reality it is simply chunky soup.

We will be heading down that way next friday to Charleston for a week.

We left in '93.
So some of these may not be there...
Poogans porch. just down the street from 82 queen
just about anything on shem creek
and there was the bbq joint on hyway 78 on the way to Goose creek... You know the kind... looks like it should be condemned.... The rule in SC is the shabbier the place looks on the outside the better the Q on the inside. They pay more attention to the Q than the maint.

Good to know. There are a couple newer places (Italian/Low Country/etc.) near our rental. (Rutledge/Spring st area)
Thanks!

I had tasso encrusted Mahi w/ pickled okra over a bed of Hoppin' John. Too dark to get a good pic of, but there wasn't a spec left of it at the end...

Some friends of ours are smuggling them home in a wine box in the trunk of their car. Slot #12 was reserved for a bottle of wine. :D
I'll grab a few more and stuff in my suitcase. I just have to be careful not to go overweight, or this will be the most expensive shipment of CT ever..
WTG squirt ;D
