So tired of snow...
If I had wanted to deal with snow on a regular basis, I would have lived somewhere else. It doesn't happen often here and rarely gets this deep (two times in 13 years), but even this is enough to make me want to move to somewhere it doesn't happen at all. Nothing like hours of shoveling (~12" or so) only to have it dump more snow.

Re: So tired of snow...
Last year we got hit hard so I bought a new snow blower because of that and the bad wet summer we had.... Should have known we've only have minor dusting and one or two of about 5-6", rained yesterday and it's all gone now. Keep it there ;) I hate the cold and snow and I'm planning to move to a warmer place too

Re: So tired of snow...
People bitch about how hot and humid it gets down here in the summer but at least we never have to dig our car out everytime we want to go someplace. Plus the ranges are open all year. Winter, Spring and Fall are great weather down south it just sucks they only account for 5 months out of the year for all 3 seasons combined. Don't think I could live someplace that was snowed in a lot. But then those places rarely have to deal with anything like a Hurricane.

Re: So tired of snow...
Ummm no we know when it is going to snow as well even when it does it down here on rare occasions. They call it forecasting I think. And I will trade you a few inches of snow a decade for hurricanes anyday even with a month of advanced notice. Never seen someone wake up from 6-12" of snow and have nothing but the slab on their house left due to it

Been mighty tough here in Yuma, had a cloudy day a while back that kept the temps under 70, had some wind with it so we were only able to shoot silhouette 3 days that week.

Re: So tired of snow...
It kept coming down today, even though it wasn't supposed to, according to the forecasts.. I added a bit more. It's high enough now that there's a sled run down the back side complete with stairs on the opposite side from where this video was taken.

Come up to sudden valley.
I've been behind the wheel of a snowplow and sander for 38hrs in the last 4 days.

Re: So tired of snow...
How about you come down here instead? And bring the snow plow/sander with you.
