Well, it's only fitting I finish the rant on the last day of winter. :snickerpup:
Forecast here is 5-12" tonight...
Todd will probably get more.
Only good thing, it's 33 degrees and only sticking in the trees. ...Oh yeah... that's a bad thing... :thankU:

We've had the worst winter on record for snow fall.And couldn't be happier that yesterday was the the first day of spring :thankU: Almost every storm we had was 1'-2' feet of snow our storms were measured in feet not inches we get what they call Nor' Easters winds come ripping off the ocean from the northeast with tons of moisture..Good riddance.It has been 70-75 degrees not a cloud in the sky the last 3 days forecast today too.But it's suppose to get colder tomorrow 40's Bummer
December 8th ? It started snowing at six in the evening?the first of the season and the wife and I took our ****tails and sat by the window watching the soft flakes drift snow over the area. It was beautiful.
December 9th We awoke to a big beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape? what a fantastic sight! Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful mantle. I shoveled for the first time in years and loved it. I did both our driveway and sidewalk. Later, the plow came along and covered the sidewalk up with snow from the street. so I cleaned them again.
December 12th ? The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Oh well. I?m sure we will get some more before the enjoyable winter is over.
December 13th ? It snowed eight inches last night and the temp dropped to twenty degrees bel?w zero. Shoveled the driveway and the sidewalk again and the snowplow came by and did it?s trick again..
December 15th ? Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer so I can drive in the snow: also bought snow tires for the wife?s car.
December 16th ? Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway: all that was hurt was my feelings.
December 19th ? Still cold, and icy roads make for rough driving.
December 20th ? Had another fourteen inches of the white **** last night: more shoveling in store for me today: the damn plow came by twice.
December 22nd ? We are assured of a white Christmas because thirteen more inches of white **** fell today: and with this freezing weather it won?t melt until August. Got all dressed up (boots. jumpsuit, heavy jacket. scarf. ear muffs, gloves. etc.) to go out and shovel, had two shots of brandy. then I got the urge to pee.
December 24th ? If I ever catch the son-of-a-***** that drives that snowplow I?ll drag him through the snow by his balls. I think he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street 100mph and throws snow all over what used to be my lawn.
December 25th ? Merry Christmas! They predict another twenty inches of the ****ing white stuff tonight. Do they know how many shovels full of snow twenty inches is? To hell with Santa: he doesn?t have to shovel the white ****. The snowplow driver came by asking for a donation. I hit him on the head with my shovel.
December 26th ? We got twenty-eight inches and then some. I must be going snow blind or have a severe case of cabin fever, because the wife is beginning to look really good to me.
December 27th ? The toilet froze. If you go outside. don?t eat the yellow snow.
December 28th ? I set fire to the house: now that white **** won?t cling to the roof.

I think I've heard that one before, but it was worth a repeat, thanks.
On a positive note, the 10" we got Saturday was all gone yesterday save for a few shady spots, and it was 70 today.
Here comes the Sun, doodledoodoo...

theres nothing like this here -

Next time you want to complain about shoveling snow have a look at this picture from Greenland.
Reading this stuff(year after year) makes me glad I live in a sub-tropical climate.
The daytime winter maximums average around 77 degree F,with the minimums generally around 41F.Sometimes the minimum will drop to 37F.Once every 4 or 5 years we'll get one night dropping to freezing point.
The last time it snowed here would have been the last Ice Age.
Sure it can get quite warm in Summer averaging around 90F with hottest days of 104F and sweat your arse off humidity.We have however had quite mild Summers for the last 4 years or so.
I have never seen snow in the 52 years I have been alive.After reading of the inconveniences of the climatic regions depicted in threads like this,you can keep your snow.

Are you sure? I'll gladly box some up to send you (next winter that is, I swear it's over this year for me [knock wood]).
Excellent post mate! I can dig it.
