According to the weather report, Des Moines is gonna get all kinds of freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Yuk. Snow is ok (it's the other idiot drivers, particularly 4WD trucks, you have to watch out for). Ice sucks unless you have studded tires, and even then it can be difficult. Looks like I'll be staying home tomorrow...

Jealous. - 12.21.2008, 10:02 PM

Well I am jealous here in Seoul, Korea. The weather report keeps threatening snow, but it never comes. It is going down to like 7F this evening so there is hope yet. My kids have never really seen a good snowfall before, because they have been living in Orlando and San Francisco all their lives. So they are anxious for us to get some. I am praying for a Merry WHITE Christmas this year to help the kids relieve some anxiety. Since we live on a mil base I don't ahve to worry about going anywhere for anything. We can walk to get just about anything.

Ha my mom was hoping for a snow day. It didnt start snowing til this morning but it is coming down fast snow. The wind and dust like snow make it hard too see and the harsh winds cut any exposed flesh. I wish I had a Blizzard or a snow mobile. Actually I wish I had a plow too make a little extra money.

Here's where we ended up yesterday. I tried to take the picutes from the same spots. It snowed all day and the snow got heavier. The pictures in the morning it was a real dry snow and easy to showel. By the afternoon that was a different story and the new snow was packing down the powder.





We broke a record for the most snowfall in a 24hr period.

I would just like to say Thanks, to everyone for their athletic supporters. Breaking the record really wasn't a team effort at all. Coming into this none of us really were thinking about the record. I guess that's the way most thing get broken though. From not thinking. But it happended and even though there is an astrick next to it. We are pretty sure we were sober when it started snowing. We will always vaguly remember this special record breaking day in November.


Started that project I've been putting off also. Shoveled a 100' trench out to a small garage were I had this thing all summer. I remember walking around it serveral times. Thinking I should take some time and get that thing running before winter.

I still got time. I don't think it is winter until the 21st.

We picked up another 7 inches today and were suppose to get another 7inches or more on saturday. We just had a major storm last week which dumped 11.5inches which cancelled school. So yeah today school is cancelled again.

I don't think that leaf-blower is going to do you any good. I'm hesitant to give that snow-thrower any extra credit! It just started to snow at my house. They say it will continue into the early morning. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

Its ok. I really do enjoy the snow and my motto is "if were going to get snow it needs to be alot of it to make it worth while."

Well, we ended up with about 10" total at my place. It's the heavy, wet-on-the-bottom-so-you-can't-shovel-it kind of snow. Good thing my parents decided to buy a snow thrower at 4:00 PM yesterday afternoon!

I have to work tomorrow at 10:00 AM, so I may be driving through the next storm.
