Replying to: fintail (Dec 18, 2008 9:12 am) The list of school closures is nearly unanimous, and businesses are closed as well. We're having a late breakfast then gonna break out the shovel & snowblower. The Suburban has snow that drifted in to the driveway up to its door handles. Cheers! Paul |

Replying to: fintail (Dec 18, 2008 9:12 am) Your picture looks like that's the heavy, wet type of snow which can be really slick compared to 20 degree temps where it gets crunchy and gives some traction.

Replying to: ruking1 (Dec 18, 2008 10:30 am) For those not in the loop, we bat GW around frequently over in Are automobiles a major cause of global warming?. (or maybe I should say climate change so no one thinks GW stands for Pres. Bush  ). Hey Paul, went sliding yesterday. We sure could use some more; the stuff at Bogus is ghost snow with zero moisture content. Only one slide-off, and he was considerate and slid a good ten feet off the road so as not to block traffic.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 18, 2008 10:23 am) The snow is actually pretty fluffy, compact and hard on the roads, but still very slick. Here's looking down my hill just a couple minutes ago. All of these cars are stuck - none moving when I took the pic

Replying to: fintail (Dec 18, 2008 11:28 am) I loved sitting at home watching the snow when I didn't have to get out in it. Is the car angled off to the right by the blue trash dumpster a slideoff? That's a steep hill from what I can tell. We're relatively flat compared to that slope. Most streets are level.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 18, 2008 12:23 pm) The car angled off, by a pole and blue garbage can, a grey Mazda 3, is an abandoned stuck car...it's still there, I can see it from here, now covered with a layer of snow.

Replying to: fintail (Dec 18, 2008 1:16 pm) A very inconsiderate move locals make in bad weather - just leaving their car in the lane of traffic (this street has no on-street parking), making it difficult for other drivers and sanding trucks, should one actually come here.
