We're shoveling snow. Have a nice evening or morning or whatever it is there.
-
it snowed here today, for the first time
it don't look like we are ever going to get any snow this winter
So it seems the state may have wasted that money buying that brand new snow plow.
-
Too bad. They could have bought a snow machine.
A lot of people have never seen snow. Here's a picture from a couple months ago, with my daughter:

Guess you changed your minds ;D
Man last time it snowed like that here I was about 5 years old,
I really need to book a holiday to somewhere cold!

The Twin Cities (at least out west of the Twin Cities where I live) only received about 2 inches of snow. Much of the day the view out the office window looked lke we were in for far more...it would have been nice to go home to shovel!

Hi Larry,

Great picture (and snowman). I feel like I've never seen snow. Maine can be so flakey. Some years, we have tons (last year for example). I've seen snow banks on the side of the road 11 feet high here.
But then, other years.... It's brutally cold now but no snow. They are saying we have a chance for somewhat signifigant snowfall finally (we've had some this winter but it's gone now) on Saturday -- probably the same storm.
Oh, and I guess rumors of the build's demise were a bit exaggerated. (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=31879.0) ;)

wow--that's more snow than we have!
While I normally love snow, I'm kinda sad about it now.
Since Christmas we've had above 0 weather, and it seems to have affected the wildlife here. Bambi has adoped our backyard as a munching ground. Pretty much every morning she comes by and feeds on, heck, I don't know what she feeds on, but she certainly seems to like the weeds by the trees. Anyway, since it snowed a few days ago, she hasn't been here at her normal time. We see tracks, so she's still coming, but her schedule seems to have been disrupted. (BTW, not to be crude or anything, I even saw her pee the other day. I've never seen a deer pee before!)
So here's me wishing for no snow--for the very first time in my life!
-
Take some photos and upload them somewhere,
would like to see Bambi! (Preferably not peeing!)
I used to live in a small cottage in the middle of no where.
We used to have deer out the front quite often :)
Sadly the National Trust bought the land and moved us out.

I think he's eating moss from around the base of the tree. They also like the ends of tree twigs.
There were ten deer standing like concrete statues in my neighbor's yard when I came home on Wednesday night.

This picture is from last winter but the view would match the snow depth for this winter too.

Yay!
Statement as of 12:15 PM EST on February 12, 2006
... Increasing snow rates can be expected across downeast Maine into
mid afternoon...
Doppler radar is indicating several... fairly intense bands of
snowfall moving onshore to coastal downeast Maine from the open
Atlantic. Snowfall rates with each band could reach 1 to 2 inches
per hour through the early afternoon hours as they move northward
into interior downeast Maine. The intense snow bands will weaken
as they continue to move further north into east central Maine
later this afternoon... but may still be able to produce up to an
inch of snow per hour.
;D ;D ;D

Snows made it into the beeb's news
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4706792.stm
How do they use doppler radar for detecting snow movement?
Do they have the radars attached to satellites in space?
I got to play with one last year while working on a project
detecting train speeds very clever stuff, never thought about it
being used for monitoring snow tho!
