Any more snow pics and vids from down south where the snow don't go?

Jeezus 03-01-09 07:22 PM

May borrow a camera in a few. It is starting to snow here, but I doubt it will get that bad!

Hey ray, make a mohawk out of it and see how far it will make it to wok :D

mazdaverx713b 03-01-09 07:51 PM

Ray, cool stuff there!!! i didnt think it snowed in Georgia...... how are the goats liking it?

ray green 03-01-09 08:44 PM

Not going to work tomorrow Stu, only a damn red neck would be out on 85 tomorrow morning.

Here's another one, from out my kitchen window

It was that bad here in Birmingham this morning...by the afternoon, you couldn't even tell it had snowed. It was crazy

'87 turbo II 03-01-09 10:08 PM

Yeah, March first, the 3rd day of my friend's spring break, and he and I had a snow ball fight. How many people get to say they had a snowball fight over their spring break?

Jeezus 03-01-09 10:11 PM

Everyone here is not showing to work tomorrow but me :(

we will have snow when i'm moving out of my apartment in May. It's currently -9, -22 with windchill. We've gotten 237" so far this winter as of 2/27/09, and have 35" on the ground. The county north of me has gotten 254.7" of snow this winter, and has 27" on the ground.

Well it's a really big deal here in the south when we get snow in March, we didn't get any since last year on Jan 20th

OneRotor 03-02-09 01:45 AM

^I know, I was just giving you guys a hard time about getting some snow. I'm jealous that you get to enjoy your 7's *almost* year round. A girl that I know that goes to Alabama thought that they were having a blizzard when they received 3" of snow. I was flabbergasted. Current temp: -18 without the wind.

ray green 03-02-09 07:26 AM

Michigan, you got to love it. But I hear it's nice in July, right?

Bright sun this morning and 7 inches of snow on the ground that looks like it might stick around awhile. First time we've had snow on the ground in Jefferson in 4 or 5 years and I don't ever remember this much.

Like Stu says, it doesn't snow much down this way. And the White One is a year around daily driver, I'll go out and shovel her off today, take a few more pics.

cmanns 03-02-09 07:44 AM

holy hell goats drink beer

awesome

rxtasy3 03-02-09 08:09 AM

we got right at 5". probably the most snow that's fallen in such a short period of time.

yetterben 03-02-09 10:20 AM

Yeah i dont want to know about your snow woes ray lol. When it snows here its 7-12 at a crack three times a week.

Ray di you live next to a ravine or something? either the goats are clacking there heals or are those rocks falling? suppose it could be tree branches cracking. That shit is wet as hell and heavy.

ray green 03-02-09 11:42 AM

Those are the tree branches cracking Ben, those trees haven't seen snow like this in years and are due for a little bit of Nature's pruning.

So, back to the 7, The White One Started Again!

Come on you folks up in Michigan and Canada, let's see your cold starts!

mazdaverx713b 03-02-09 12:35 PM

i love the commentary Ray. the shivering is very heartfelt.. from a guy here in ohio, i have felt that way since november of 08.. many of cold mornings like that here...

RX-7 Chris 03-02-09 12:39 PM

It is going to be 70 here today, haha.

ray green 03-02-09 12:46 PM

It's cool today but the snow is melting fast anyway, supposed to be back in the '70's later this week.

Yeah Ohio is for cold lovers, for sure.

dbragg 03-02-09 01:31 PM

Yeah, we got a good bit yesterday. It was really wet though cause it rained so much beforehand. The dogs loved it and Kim and I had a snow ball fight. Luckily the college is cloed today so I can work on my engineering and Hamlet's papers I have due.

Here is a video a girl from my apartment complex made of her dog and mine running around in the snow:

It's beautiful for May-October. Warmest it gets is about 85. Very few bugs. Not many thunderstorms. The lake water is a bit chilly to get in, but once you're in, it's nice. Plus, no potholes outside of town to deal with, just miles of winding, rolling pavement.

Here are my normal roads.

Siraniko 03-02-09 07:23 PM

Ray,
Can you overnight some snow to me. its hot in LA (los angeles, not lower alabama :lol:), it was mid-70's. FEDX over night would be nice :lol::lol::lol:

ray green 03-02-09 08:13 PM

Wacky I saw on Craiglist that some guy in Athens has a post for free snow, he has 10 acres of it but I think it might be local pick up only.

Here's the ad if you want to contact him:

http://athensga.craigslist.org/zip/1056902029.html

The snow is still here but the weather report just said we'll be in the upper 70's by the weekend. All this without earthquakes and fires!

Donnie I can't see the vid, I guess you need to belong to facebook (I don't). Can you post on youtube or someplace?

Jim that looks like a nice corner of Michigan to cruise around in. I have a friend who lives in Mount Pleasant who vacations and canoes up there, says it's really beautiful.

Ben your car starts because she is USED to -10 degrees! It's quite a shock for our southern bells to be covered wth snow and turned over when the temperature is below freezing.

OneRotor 03-03-09 12:03 AM

Mount Pleasant huh? I have a few friends that go to Central Michigan, which is in Mount Pleasant. Houghton is a great place to live. Unfortunately, there are no jobs whatsoever, which means i'm moving in May when I graduate. Oh well, that means that I can auto-x and track my car all summer. Good luck with the snow.

ray green 03-03-09 10:28 AM

Bob's a professor at Central Mich, in nutrition. I sure wonder why they call that place Mount Pleasant, it's flatter than the economy. Does Houghton have some bumps?

Snow got the best of me this morning, I forgot to brush it off yesterday when it was melting and this morning it was frozen as big blocks of ice to the glass and wipers. Took me an hour to get it off. I'm reminded of what it was like living in Massachusetts.

So anybody got any more cold start videos?
