What a pile o' snow we have here! I hate to say it, but I'm hoping it
prevents us from doing the holiday thing :-) Just imagine: Four days
of peace, stuck in the house, with nothing to do but torch, read, play
with my animals, nap and eat stuff that John cooks...

Anyone else potentially snowbound?

Fairbanks is technically a desert. It's just that the snow doesn't melt
until April or later. We do close down for cold occasionally. Schools
close down at 20 or 30 below. Only time I saw the whole town shut down was
when we had 60 below.

Tahoe is the place I saw the very most snow. We had about 4 feet in a
couple days. Just amazing amounts of snow. When the moist air from the
ocean gets pushes up to the colder thinner air at the high altitudes (the
lake is over a mile high, and the mountains are much higher), the moisture
freezes, plus the thin air can no longer contain the moisture. Relative
humidity changes to accommodate less moisture, both with altitude and with
cold. Donner at the North end of the lake has even higher snow falls. Some
of the highest in all the world.

Sweetie, you can have ALL of it, as far as I'm concerned. I had to buy
boots today. BOY boots. FUNCTIONAL boots. Not the adorable, cutesy,
fashionable or even FM boots. SNOW boots.

Bah friggin' humbug.

In previous years, I would have said YES! We need the water.... This year, we
seem to be getting more rain. Of course, we got about a year's worth all in one
week (around 10", I think), so most of it just ran into the drains and out to
sea instead of restoring the water table and filling the resevoirs. Big Bear
might appreciate a load of snow, though.

I guess I spoke too soon. The hiways going north and going to Anchorage are
"closed down". Though the cops here wouldn't dare to give a ticket to a
citizen who had to make a trip.

I just heard also that Alaska's high and its low today were 100 degrees
apart. I'm just glad we have a supply of wood in, in case the power goes
out again. It's cozy here in the log cabin.

ROFL, Tink. Funny thing is....my DH finds those kinds of boots sexy on
women...really. He's an odd duck, but I sure love the heck out of him. Oh, and pass
some of that snow...I really really really want a white Christmas.

LOL! Thats great Kathy!

Well here in the UK we are supposed to have snow in most places by
tomorrow but I dont know how much or if it will actually happen. The
Met men at work said there was a great possibility it would fall here in
the south.

While I would love it to be a white Christmas I know from experience
that anything more than an inch or two and everything will grind to a
halt and panic stations will ensue.

Heck, that's what happens here in Sunny So Cal when we get a light drizzle!
Snow?...I think the sanitariums would fill up, not to mention the ER's!!!
