SNOW,SNOW,SNOW!View Messages“I just got back from snowshoeing too and it was great I did about 2 miles at Hoosier Nature Preserve.It was nice too see all the nice white snow and animal tracks in the snow. 8)” 3:29:45 PM 12/25/02 “We missed the snow as usual. It has been quite a few yrs since I have seen snow on Christmas Day. We had to go to Indiana Sunday for a funeral and got back Tuesday afternoon. We missed all the snow that came through Southern Indiana Tuesday. The first snow we saw was on the ground south of Louisville and it ended very quickly.” 3:41:14 PM 12/25/02 “16 inches and still snowing. All interstate highways in northeast PA have been closed.” 5:29:19 PM 12/25/02 “hey guys....the snow is awesome....hehe merry xmas to all, and plzz read my post that I left before, times are bad...” 5:30:44 PM 12/25/02 “My neighbor called and told me to stop shoveling. She said I could use her snow blower when the other neighbor is done using it. SWEET!” 5:43:24 PM 12/25/02 “It hasn't stopped snowing here for 24 hours! The roads are all #&%!$, and this is Cleveland (we are used to it). We have over a foot and a half right now, and it's the heavy stuff.” 7:00:00 PM 12/25/02 I love snow! “I was so jealous reading this thread last night! We had some flakes early in the day, really nice - each flake was firm (almost like hail) and star shaped with a hole in the middle and some were quite fancy. Everything was sprinkled with these little white stars, it was really cool. The storm started later on, and the wind howled all night. I love that sound. I'm not sure what the final count was, but there's at least a foot at my house. I planned on just blasting out to get to work, but I looked out and the bankings were too high - a good three feet or more when I went out to shovel. I got all my shovelling done this am since we didn't have to be to work until noon (don't ask me why, I just work here). But good deal, now I can go skiing after work! wahoo! o(=}” 10:07:25 AM 12/26/02 Snow Snow Snow !! “Whistler got four and a half feet, in the last 48 hours !! It's ski time !!” 10:22:07 AM 12/26/02 “It is totally brown here! Red Lodge Mountain has been getting some snow, though. I think I'm going Saturday!! Hodgeman- loved the Christmas email card! Happy Holidays!” 10:37:42 AM 12/26/02 “Also, Happy Boxing Day, eh!” 10:38:32 AM 12/26/02 “Thanks Aero. Hope you had a nice Christmas. I guess you don't really do the Boxing Day thing, down there, do ya...... eh?” 10:57:27 AM 12/26/02 “No, we make our servants work all year!! :) Actually, I'll try to convince my wife to give me Boxing Day off!” 11:00:32 AM 12/26/02 “He He He. Boxing Day is more like a week long shopping event, around here these days.” 11:02:34 AM 12/26/02 “I just got back from some snowshoveling! I am sweating! There is a 4 foot pile in our driveway, I had never touched it til now. What an exhilerating work-out. I can't wait til the big orange truck comes around agin. I'm telling you guys, there is nothing like it, I can't wait!!!! Actually, I'm all done with it, and can't decide what I am going to strap to my feet: snowboard, skiis, snowshoes or cross country skiis. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll eat a salad and grab the dog and one of my toys and head out. I'm playing in the snow, just playing in the snow, what a wonderful feeling, I've a smile on my face, I'm laughing at clouds, so far up above, I'm playing, just playing in the snow.” 12:09:30 PM 12/26/02 Weather Forecast For My Neck of The Woods!!!!!! “Tonight: Light rain and freezing rain early...with rain showers overnight.

Should I give it a try?” 7:25:03 PM 12/30/02 “I know winter is sucking this year!!!! ..........Again 8(” 7:27:24 PM 12/30/02 “I went XC skiing in the Sandia's yesterday. Sooo... nice. Cairn, the Switchback trail was in great shape. Just another storm or two and it will be awesome.” 7:28:30 PM 12/30/02 “It sucks all major forms of ass? :-(” 7:28:42 PM 12/30/02 “Cool! I said ASS!” 7:29:18 PM 12/30/02 “Okay, you asked for it. Here goes: I wish for lots and lots and lots of SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!” 7:30:58 PM 12/30/02 “Mr. Crazy Mike Maybe you should go to the Adirondacks Trip in February?” 7:31:07 PM 12/30/02 “Snow is better than freezing rain.” 7:32:04 PM 12/30/02 “It seems like everytime we get a good snowpack to play on, it rains a few days later and ruins the conditions. The snow gets like styrofoam for X Country skiing after it rains and freezes again.” 7:40:18 PM 12/30/02 “I will look into that my friend! 8)” 7:42:08 PM 12/30/02 “Hey Crazy Mike... Have you been East before? Adirondacks? I'm just wondering what your drive time would be like?” 8:00:44 PM 12/30/02 “47 degrees you can watch the snow melt. It’s t-shirt weather.” 8:49:36 AM 12/31/02 “Were having a snow storm right now. For winter fun, the Sierra's can't be beat!!” 9:08:25 AM 12/31/02
