Swamphunter Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I was just curious what all you guys that wish and pray that you got snow in the wintertime, and just experienced that bad storm think of snow now? Oh wait, you probably still have shoveling to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. we are getting heavy rain right now, but the big snow storm that we got last Feb. which pretty much shut the whole province down for a few days still haunts me you can keep it all this winter if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. We didnt get hit very bad. (about 8 inches I think) I prefer a white Christmas over a brown one anyday. I dont shovel snow anymore. I have 3 teenage sons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. Ya, but Nut, you are accustomed to having snow in Ohio...I'm curious about those a little further south!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. Yea but you should hear the people complain about the snow around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. lived in Ohio nearly all my life, and while we don't get the snow that some folks get, we get our share. my thoughts on snow: i like it when it cancels school i like it when i can take the kids sledding i like it when i can pummel the kids in a snow ball fight. i don't like it in March and April when it delays my garden (unless it cancels school-refer to number 1 above) i don't like it when i have to shovel 80 yards of driveway (i gotta get a blade) i don't like it when i have all the house troubles that go along with it. all in all, i don't mind it until say, March. by then i'm ready for spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguide Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. I guess it's hard for rancher's to imagine towns people being bothered by weather-unless your a city maintenance worker you can just burrow in and wait it out. There's nothing like a bad blizzard when you've got several hundred animals to get fed every day-it never fails that equipment etc always breaks down in that stuff too-without luck and good neighbors it would be tough. Snow though is a blessing it fills the dugouts with water for next year-waters the stock that are running out but can be a major pain at times. The worst week I can remember here was -50 with -90 windchills for 5 days straight that was almost more fun than I could stand lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Re: So..I gotta ask. [ QUOTE ] shoveling is good exercise!!!! [/ QUOTE ] It also causes heart attacks. Many people suffer from them when shoveling around the north. Some fatal some not. I worry about my mother and father everytime it snows. I normally do a pretty good job of keeping them cleared out, but if I am working...they don't wait for me. My driveway is always the last one to get plowed and I do the plowing! I have several I do for some older people and by the time I get home, just give it one or two quick passes and call it done for the time being. I am getting so I hate winter anymore. The snow gets so deep around here you really can't even play in it very well. Plus, after 4 or 5 months of dealing with it, then another month or two of dealing with mud before it dries up enough to walk on the lawn...I wish I was a few states further south sometimes.
