Title: SNOW!!!! Part II..........
Post by: Mikekoz13 on December 19, 2009, 09:49:47 AM: Well I just got done shoveling off my very large deck and the top of the hot tub. The hot tub cover is nice and flat so before I shoveled it off I took this photo:

First and foremost you better watch that back, Mike. I'm speaking from experience.

I have not measured it, not having stirred from the house since it began to fall yesterday, but out the window shows no lack of it. My "Good Neighbor Bob" who has a snowblower has, in past years, come across the street to handle some of mine (unasked), but whether the snow blower is functional this year, or Holiday Spirit has withered...well, time will tell, but I suppose I should show the flag and and least start clearing. Luckily I have a short drive; unluckily, the plows seem to put 1/3 of the snow on the other side of the street and 2/3 on mine, so the final three feet at the foot of the drive can be as tiresome as all the rest up to that point. And I'm a year older every winter.

Post by: dodger on December 20, 2009, 09:28:58 AM: About 8 inches of the white stuff in central NJ

Fortunately, it dropped on a non workday

Roads are still poor but not enough to stop us from getiting a bagel and coffee

Time to take a stroll in the snow on a Sunday afternoon

Enjoying "A White Christmas" with a "White Dome"...Bing Crosby would be proud

By the way, saw Avatar in 3D....AWESOME!
