Anda Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 This morning we had windchills of -20F. Not funny. Not when walking the dog around the block. Anyway, here's a funny text that might give you an idea about what we're going through. So true, so true.... WINTER IN COLORADO Dear Diary: AUG. 1 Moved to our new home in Denver. It is so beautiful here. The city is so picturesque. Can hardly wait to see it covered with snow. I LOVE IT HERE OCT. 14 Denver is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turning all different colors. I love the shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the hills and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most peaceful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I LOVE IT HERE. NOV. 11 Deer season will open soon. I can not imagine anyone wanting to kill such an elegant creature. The very symbol of peace and tranquility. Hope it will snow soon. I LOVE IT HERE. DEC. 2 It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed in white. It looked like a postcard. Went outside and cleaned snow off the steps and shoveled the drive way. We had a snowball fight today (I won).When the snowplow came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. Mother Nature in perfect harmony. I LOVE IT HERE. DEC. 12 More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick again that rascal. A winter wonderland. Wonder where all those snowplows are? I LOVE IT HERE. DEC. 19 Snowed again last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work this time. I'm exhausted from shoveling. Damn Snowplow! DEC. 22 More of that white s**t fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snowplow hides around the corner and waits until I'm done shoveling. That a$$hole!!! DEC. 25 "White Christmas" my busted a$$. More snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snowplow, I swear I will castrate the dumb bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on this freaking ice! DEC. 28 More of the same s**t last night . Been inside since Christmas day except for when "Snowplow Harry" comes by. Can't go anywhere. The car is buried in a mountain of white s**t. The weatherman says expect another 10 inches of this s**t tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is? JAN. 1 Happy freaking New Year My A$$!!. The weatherman was wrong (AGAIN). We got 34 inches of snow this time. At this rate it won't melt until the 4th of July. The snowplow got stuck down the road and s**t for brains had the balls to come to the door and ask to borrow my shovel. I told him I broke 6 shovels already, shoveling out the s**t he plowed into my driveway. I broke the 7th shovel over his head. JAN. 4 Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a deer ran out in front of the car and I hit the damn deer. Did about $3,000.00 damage to the car. Wish the hunters would have killed them all last November. MAY 3 Took the car to the garage in town today. Would you believe the body is rotting away from all the Crap they keep dumping All over the roads. It really looks like a piece of s**t. MAY 10 Moved to Florida today. I can not imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to live in the God forsaken State of Colorado. Still want to move to Denver?!

Tassie Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 What fun! As I live in a place which rarely gets snow - in fact we have a very moderate climate - I've always thought lots of snow would be lovely. But I spent some time travelling in the US and Canada one winter, and I could see how having lots of snow could get very old very quickly!

hoku's mum Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Been there, done that (in Vermont), which is why I now live just below the snow line!!! I remember a car that would not start, sat for a week, got buried so dang deep, we just left it for the winter, sold it in the spring for scrap practically...I feel your pain...

Kat's Dogs Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 lol!! That is great! I guess I shouldn't be talking when we got our little 6" and the whole city came to a standstill. But nice picture! THAT is where I am going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 ROFL! Very funny! Anybody with walks/driveway to shovel in Denver needs a 2-stage snowblower. Such a machine would cut through the snow blocking your driveway. So far this winter in Baltimore the total snowfall is about three inches. Living next to the Chesapeake Bay moderates the winter weather. That suits me just fine! But in the old days back in Utah I shoveled plenty of snow.

Maralynn Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Anda, did you decide to share your weather with the rest of us? Today we've had a high of 11, with windchills well below 0. It is snowing, and there are white out conditions all around. The dogs were worn out by a 10 min "swim" in the field. It think it's supposed to make it up to 4 tomorrow. Brrr!

Anda Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm sorry, Maralynn ! Today we had sunshine and 40 F (talk about a change in weather: -10 yesterday morning and 40 today at noon! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 40 degress!?! Enjoy it! According to the weather map, we'll be fortunate to make it up to 20 by the middle of next week. We are currently under a blizzard warning, and the road commission has issued a statement saying they will not be plowing the secondary roads until mid-morning tomorrow. Thankfully, our neighbor keeps our road plowed with his tractor, so I can drive the 2/3 mile over to take care of the sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fosher Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Two words (or one, depending on how you spell it): snow shoes. We finally have some snow cover here for the first time since last March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieDog Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hah! Other than the amount of snow, Indiana is having worse weather - right now the windchill is hovering at -15. Tonight the low is -5, tomorrow the high is to be a balmy 0 and a low of -7 or -9 depending on who you listen to. All of that's w/o the wind - it's flat here so wind has nothing to slow it down in the winter. I'm wearing my quilted coveralls to class tomorrow!!

Anda Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 You know how I said it was -10F two days ago, and 40 yesterday? I'm ashamed to admit today we had 56 F (13 C ) LOL Shanni... with such esquisite service, who wouldn't want to move to Singapore?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWPG Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I hate to trump everyone but here in Winnipeg, Canada on Monday it was -40 and with the windchill -51. Needless to say the dogs go out and do their business very very fast! bbbbrrrrr. It was a balmy -35 this morning though MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
