It snowed last night. 6 inches of snow on my mailbox. It is still snowing…big flakes. No, you don’t understand. I live at 2600 ft. In Southern California. This city has never gotten more than 1/4 inch of snow at one time in living memory. And there is 6 freaking inches of snow in my driveway!!! And it’s still snowing!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Global warming my ass! ---

Relax! Snow is good for you, especially since your location means it will be gone almost immediately. Put on some warm clothes (waterproof boots and jacket would be good), build a snowman, throw some snowballs, have fun with it! Take some pictures too, and post a link! Happy Snowday! ---

Hell, up in the SF Bay Area it’s like living in a wind tunnel. We’ve had winds in the 35-45 MPH range since yesterday afternoon. ---

Oh, well. It makes the wife feel all warm and snuggly, so it isn’t all bad. Reminds her of Boston. But I left Alaska vowing to never live anywhere it snows. ☹ It **was** fun smacking her with a snowball as a wake-up call this morning! 😃 ---

Six inches makes your wife all warm and snuggly? There’s a joke in there somewhere but I’m drawing a blank. ---

As of 10:40pm, 7 inches on the ground (4 inches on the streets) and it is still snowing. Work is looking less likely tomorrow. Snow advisory until 3:30am later tonight. Unreal. ---
