Anyone Else With Snow???
I'm freezing tonight here in OH. Still have quite a bit of snow on the ground. Supposed to go up into the 50's on New Year's Eve......Can't wait until it's all gone, this time.....

1. Oh yeah
We had close to 2 feet here in Michigan, but it was up in the 40s today, and I can see some grass poking out. I was able to take the 4 wheeler for a spin today !

10. Well, just in the spots...
where the wind had blown it for a few days,so there was less there,and I can just barely see some grass poking out. But there is still plenty of it elsewhere. All of a sudden, Florida doesn't look so bad !!!!

6. Why? Because it is polluted?
Is that why there is metal in the snow?

13. Dirty water makes dirty snow.
Acid water makes acid snow. When I was a child, people used to make ice cream using snow. I don't know if they were just naive, or the water was cleaner.

5. AZ: lots of beautiful rain, snow up in the mountains...
In the summer, you drive through Arizona and see the names of rivers and you laugh because they are dirt dry. Well, those dried up rivers are over flowing and communities are underwater right now.

7. Yes
The massive rain we had in northern AZ today turned to snow in the late afternoon, and we will get a few inches tonight.

Bad news down south in Sedona, where massive flooding has caused some serious damage.

11. Yes, Snowbowl Ski Closed due to high winds...
the same happened the day before Christmas. It was way too windy to operate the lifts and they had no electricity. We were there, had a great time.

How about the Sedona Cave Creek river, that is quite a mess.

It's been in the 50s the past few days - it should all be gone by the weekend.
