Jud Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Got a big 3 to 5 inches coming here. May have to get out the shovel to clear 20 feet of walkway - the horror! Actually it's welcome, though the timing may not be ideal. Here in the desert, winter snowpack is critical for plants and wildlife come spring.

Having grown up in Montreal with loads of winter snow and not infrequent blizzards, I will take the winter rain in Vancouver any day without complaint. You don't have to shovel it. phosphorein and Jud 1 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Kept clearing the same sidewalk only to find snow had drifted back a few hours later. The gods can be cruel. last winter one of my neighbors was blowing his walkway clear, but trying to blow it into the wind. He finally gave up and in a very exasperated state kicked his snowblower a few times. I wish I had been recording that. christopher3393 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
