@DB: It has nothing to do with "being able to take it." Don't imply that I'm some sort of snow pansy just because I'm tired of Winter and ready for Spring.

Oh lighten up sally I was only busting your chops. The snow must be getting to you.

Winter in the northern dakota has been miserable!

As if I had a tame winter? KC got hit hard sometime in January. That same storm hit the NE even harder soon after. Fortunately, it's pretty much ceased down here.

That poor dog, frozen solid with a grimace on its face.
Another victim of the brutal ND winter!

Bummer Ten...my advice...get your mudding boots ready, you are going to need them come April.

we got snow again......

**warghoul** · 03-11-2011, 02:36 PM

I wish we'd get snow again I could use some fresh snow for my snowmobile.

It's 63 degrees here in California today. Brrrrrrr

Oddly enough, it DID snow here this year. It was the first time since 1998 that snow levels reached the valley floor. We live near the Sierra Mountain Range (think Yosemite) which gets a lot of snow, but it's very rare to have snowfall at this low elevation (300'). Of course, it was only a dusting that stayed on the ground for about 2 hours but still I got to make a snowball.

48 degrees in Texas this morning. I'm gonna be taking a trip to NY next week. I hope the weather gets better by then.

@Joz: If you're going to NYC it should be fine.

We'll be staying somewhere in Queens, as my father in law lives there and we'll be staying with him during the trip. We're looking foward to exploring the city. Any places you might recommend to go and places you would NOT recommend on getting close to?

**Kugyince** · 03-11-2011, 06:15 PM

Sure, I don't recommend visiting NYC or LI.

All jokes aside, I'm an "upstater" so I don't visit the city unless I absolutely have to. We tend to greatly dislike and avoid that area though we do appreciate the economic engine that it is.

I'm sure your father-in-law is much better equipped to guide you around NYC than I am. I've only been there three times and I live less than four hours away.

Unfortunatly he has recently had an operation done and he will be bed riden for a few weeks. I'll look some stuff up online to see what's up.

You still haven't experienced it fully until you've wintered in a place like Winnipeg {nickname Winter Pig} or my beloved Northern Alberta, where the wind howls at -40 C.
One morning it was -60 C with the windchill, and I turned to my boss and said:
'Do we REALLY have to go to work today?'

Yeah, Fort Mac is probably the worst from what I've heard. Edmonton got nearly 8 feet at one point last year and -45. That was a bad year for Edmonton. It was unpredictable though, sometimes we had 2 months of snow there, sometimes we had several months. Or it just kept changing. Perfect example of a Chinook city.

I worked in Fort MacMurray for a while too, but it wasn't as cold as when I went to Fox Creek - oh man, I was ready to quit my job and buy a bus ticket back home, it was so cold.

Edmonchuk seems to have wind blowing constantly during the winter, stabbing like pins into your skin.
I remember one winter in Edmonton was so bad, I could only run a few doors down the streets downtown without having to duck in a store or whatever to warm up.
Run 3 or 4 stores down, duck in the next door.
No wonder they have those heaters in all the bus stops, and their shopping centers connect underground!
