Snowed In.

Nov 23, 2010 13:48

Got up early (for me, anyway) and went to break the ice on the goat's water, fed the pig, and let the chickens out. Some opted to stay, the others eventually found their way through the snow under the porch, I'm hoping they'll wander back to their nesting box soon ( Read more... )

I remember crawling under my house in Portland with a hair dryer to thaw out the water pipe. My wife went with me to make sure that I didn't get attacked by opossum who lived under house, ha, ha. My facebook is listed under my name: Steve L. Williams, make me a friend too.

LOL! To the possum-infested underworld! The pipe must flow!

oh PLEAAAAAAAAAASE!.. snowed in anonymous November 24 2010, 05:51:00 UTC

okay, so now that I found my way here: I am wondering how could we be snowed in?! Mammoth had between 12" and 20" in the last 24 hours!

Maybe in Gold Bar y'all had a bit more than o're the GH peninsula way (where we have been trapped by 3 to 4 inches of snow).... but really!?!

Hope you are finding great escapes from the entrapments of inclement weather.

OK, you put that in perspective.

I'd TOTALLY take deep snow to this. at my place in E-WA the snowplow got stuck in our driveway once. BUT... Imagine if Minnesota didn't have snowplows or sand trucks save, maybe, for the freeways. Top it off with a heap of California transplants Freaking out but driving anyway. Well, you're in it, too. I want my one-horse open sleigh.

Didn't we meet in weather like this?

It doesn't take much to snow in a 2.5 ton, RWD vehicle without chains or snow tires.

Valid point.

Hi

We are getting loads of press coverage here about severe snow early in the year. We seem to have so far managed a couple of hard frosts with only snow in a few areas who largely expect it anyway.

All the best
