Thank God, it's snowing!!!

[justanotherpackfan]

Yes it is! It won't accumulate to anything but it's still nice to see. In northern Wisconsin and Michigan they are expected to get 3-9 inches.

I wish we could only have snow for three days: December 24th, 25th, and 26th...Snow during Christmas time is awesome..Any other day, it just makes it impossible to drive...

global warming, my ass

[KYPack]

Global warming ain't hit Northern WI and the UP yet, GBM!

[superfan]

I know everyone here will be shocked to hear this, but it is currently snowing in Minneapolis.

Global warming here = 60 degrees

A bit off topic, but it is funny how some people assume that because you live in Minnesota, it must be cold all the time. Some lifetime southerners don't realize that it actually gets hot in the upper midwest in the summer.

True story -- once I was on a phone call in July with somebody in Texas. He was complaining about how hot it was -- he said it was 93 degrees. I told him that it was 98 degrees in Minneapolis, and he refused to believe me. He was convinced that it never got over 60 degrees in this part of the country. Tried to tell me I was wrong. :D :crazy:

Are you up early on a deer hunt tomorrow morning?

I can't think of another reason why snow before mid October is really cool. LOL :mrgreen:

Going sliding? Snow fort? First snowman since last Winter?

Enemies "to wing" with snowballs? LOVE to see people shovel?

Love to see the Elderly fall and break a hip? :mrgreen:

Buffalo got 2 feet of snow. Outrageous!

[GBRulz]

Better them than us!

[MJZiggy]

That's why I don't live in Buffalo. :mrgreen:

[oregonpackfan]

My sister at Lake Powers, WI called to say it was snowing there. At the same time it was 77 and sunny here in Oregon.

I still remember the time as a kid in Rice Lake when we couldn't go Trick-or-Treating on Halloween because it snowed 8-10". I was traumatized for some time.): :smile:

I've got a hunch that your a late teen... Packer fan?

If so... I can admit that when I was 15 -19 that I lived in a place that had a fantastic toboggan hill, and friends and I had a blast doing that activity often at night. Skating and playing hockey on the lakes and ponds also were favourite pursuits.

We also had organized snowball fights in Winter to keep the arm in shape for the Organized rock fights in the summer month..no kidding.

Enjoy this stuff when your young for all it's worth as you may have different feelings about snow as you get older. Some get too old to fast.

The remark RE: "the Elderly and broken hips" isn't meant to snow on your... " joy of snow ", jusyanotherpackfan.

It's just " a fact of life" and fear/concern for these poor older folk that struggle with snow and ice in the Winter months; and the dread of falling and incurring a crippling or life threatening injury.

:idea: Alot of people arn't aware just how serious a broken hip can be to a Senior. :idea:

Many die fr. that every Winter or otherwise.

Enjoy the snow for all it's worth to YOU. :mrgreen:

Hey B. I sent you a pm.

Buffalo got 2 feet of snow. Outrageous!

Buffalo is a strange, drunken, surly town. The weather there makes WI look like the Keys!

They get that lake effect snow & it doesn't ever quit.

Don't ever attend a football game there. You are taking your life in your hands.

Back when I was " the young Buck". Myself and a bunch of my Bud's, arrived in Montreal fr. "the Maritimes" with a Host of other Maritimer's... for two Hockey games Fri. Night "the NY Islanders" Sat night "the Buffalo Sabers".

At Sat. nights game there were two busloads of Saber fans in attendance.

We met and partied with some of "the whoamen Saber fans" after the game. We discovered... that they were REAL friendly. :mrgreen:
