Actually it's closer to 6 inches in my driveway. Mr. Snowblower will make quick work of it though.

Not bad, but they don't have the charm of MTU's Winter Carnival.

I can make a snowball!

What is this "snow" you speak of? It's currently pretty sunny here. Going to be 65 today.

/Is depressed. Would love to have snow.

Your husband sounds gay.

I haven't seen snow in years. Ya'll keep that, we'll keep the humidity in the summertime, deal?

Ultimate snowman from the Seattle snowstorm

schattenteufel		2008-12-24 10:05:19 AM

I thought I thaw this already.

CruJones		2008-12-24 10:06:55 AM

I'll walk outside to a nice 75 degree day.

I'm ok with that.

HUrray Ice!

Uncle Bester		2008-12-24 10:07:42 AM

Shoveling snow makes me stronger and more virile.
At least that's what I've told myself several times this last couple of weeks.
Too bad it can't make me more handsome.
That said, it makes for a beautiful white Christmas.

Or the Domo-kun of Sapporo's Yuki Matsuri:

A bit more geekiness:

The big displays are actually constructed by JSDF troops:

Here's the park lit up at night:

Flickr Set 1 and Flickr Set 2 if anyone wants to see more. Sapporo's one of the best cities in Japan, primarily because the Dutch settled it so the streets are in a grid pattern unlike the abominations of Tokyo, Osaka, etc. Well worth the trip for snow lovers.

You must be a big fan of skating!

It's a muggy 80 degrees outside right now. I won't have to shovel humidity.

Cool sculptures though.

Rhino_man		2008-12-24 10:23:22 AM

65 degrees where I am...

Better look at those ice sculptures quickly. The Sun is there.

Akambe		2008-12-24 10:27:01 AM

I kept reading that "GETOBAMA" and couldn't figure out why the DMV would have a problem with it.

Now, I STILL don't understand.

caamando		2008-12-24 10:28:25 AM

/its snow but i personally like them a hell of a lot more

brewssuds		2008-12-24 10:29:36 AM

I'm so very confused. It's almost the end of the year.

According to the popular media:

- snow is a thing of the past, due to Global Warming(c)
- oil is over $300 a barrel
- a loaf of bread costs over $10

/what went wrong?

Is the truck fixable after going through a dunking and freezing like that?

a 'slide show' of 4 pictures is like a 20 min 'movie'... very misleading.

NYZooMan		2008-12-24 10:43:53 AM

Wow, talk about your building code violations!

Going to teach English in Harbin this spring. So, uh, I'm getting a kick out of... something. I forget.

bunnylovesbr		2008-12-24 11:23:56 AM

Snow? Cold?
Do not want!

The high today will be 75 with sunshine and blue skies. No sweaters needed nor any snow clothes. Just some sunscreen and flip flops.

But I guess the ice pictures are nice.

Where's giant penis in the back of a pickup truck?

GomezAdams		2008-12-24 04:52:49 PM

Bwahahahahaha. I have 10 inches of drifting sunshine in my drive and I have to clear it out before I go golfing again. In December. And fishing. In December.

Y'all keep to the North. Florida is the worst state you will ever live in and it's going to get worse. Stay away. Turn around and go back. And pick up a Canadian under one arm and a New Yorker/Jerseyite under the other. And just go away. Thanks.

/Keep Florida Green - spend your money here then go back where ya came from.
//High 70s today and 80 tomorrow. Merry Christmas.
