Srsly, this is more than I've ever seen in my life. There has to be at least 3 inches on the gorund and its still coming.
Is this what the end times feels like?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: It's snowing HARD
Bah, Texans have no sense of scale. 10 inches is nothing even for a Vancouverite. Now, waist-high snow, that's something.

The west coast has it easy. How do you think I feel? The back door at my workplace was more than half-covered with snow earlier this week. I wasn't too surprised when I discovered I was unable to push open the blasted thing from the inside, given the recent snowfall.Originally Posted by A Very Super Market
You are so lucky, man; you don't even have it deep. Last Monday my classes at the university were cancelled, so I spent all morning clearing the sidewalk and driveway around the house with an old-fashioned shovel. Wish I had your little machine.

Snow builds character.
Re: It's snowing HARD
I've never seen the snow.
Re: It's snowing HARD
pat robertson just came on tv and said the bad weather is because the texas made a pact with satan in the 1800s to help them drive out the mexicans.
really, though, the contract should be void.........

Re: It's snowing HARD
Texas is a brutal land. Inches of snow in winter, temperatures in the eighties or even ninenties!! in summer.
I couldn't survive. I need a nice temperate sea-climate. I squeak and fear for my life when temperatures drop below 60 or rise above 75.

Welcome to our world, Southern Man. Welcome to our world.

In the grim future of North America there is only war.
Re: It's snowing HARD
Had a blizzard yesterday:
25 cm (or 10 inches) with snow and and average windspeed of 13,5 m/s (or 30 mph) with gusts (is it called that?) up to 20m/s (45 mph). Considered bad weather but nothing extreme.
Feeling cold yet?
Edit:
Average about 5-6 months of snow cover (less this last decade though) and current temperature is -20C (-4F), still windy since yesterday and it's what expected to be the warmest temperature tomorrow. Coldest day this year was -32C (-25F) when warmest.

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

I don't know how you people deal with this for three moths out of the year. People are losing there excrement over this.

Re: It's snowing HARD
You dig out. Sometimes you even use machines:
... and you buy cars with AWD, and stick all-weather tires on 'em. That helps a lot too.
-edit-
Three months? This starts in November and we don't see the end of it until March at the earliest. It's more like four months in Wisconsin, give or take a couple of weeks. At the moment we've got full snow cover and a day's high of 7 degrees F (without windchill, since that's for wimps).
