One thing stands between me and my nightly soak...
« on: December 20, 2006, 07:52:43 pm »
Well, two things -- this 4' drift outside my door and the 30mph sustained winds!  It's funny how everyone says hot tubbing in a snowstorm is the best.  I beg to differ!  Not in these conditions!!!  :D

I can't wait to soak as it snows ... of course I'm thinking gently falling snow and NO wind.

I have soaked once in winter breezy conditions (5 or 10 MPH) and it was miserable getting out and I never did it again.

Hey PG if you can post a few more snow pics that would be GREAT!  As a suffering eastern skiier "winter" so far in the NE has been horrible.  It would be nice to live vicariously through our Western counterparts.  

How much snow are they calling for in your parts?  Can you please send some this way????????

Thanks,

Marc

PGRIDER,
As a motorcycle rider you should be ashamed. Going into hairpin corners at 100 mph plus and now you tell me a 4' drift of snow is keeping you out of the tub. Make all your fellow motorcyle riders proud and get out there NOW and soak like the man we know you are. Then let us know how wonderful it was. ;)

Snow is great!  Wind and/or rain is a different story.

Scary:




Not scary:  :D





Gores95, we've gotten so much snow here this year it's not even funny, especially in the mountains.  Having grown up in Vermont I certainly remember lots of snow there, but of course the skiing here is worlds ahead of what it's like back east...

Paul, you made my day with those pics! For the first time, I am bringing my kids out west to ski the second week of Jan so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.  Hopping on the Amtrak in Naperville, IL and getting off at Fraser for 4 days of powder city at Winter Park. And if my son urges me on, I may just take a few rides on the Volkswagon moguls at Mary Jane. My goal is to come home without any broken bones. I hear a big storm is hitting that area again today. Keep in coming!!

Wow, thanks for the pics pg. My spa cover experienced about a millimeter of frost last night for the first time. I thought for sure it was going to get damaged. I sure wish I could take a tub with snow piled up around my backyard.
2005 Hot Spring Envoy still going strong. Million-Mile Club....

I want to get in the spa business so I can surf the internet and use Photoshop all day long.

Tonight we are suppose to get 6 -10 inches of snow in South Dakota.

If we dont get the wind, I will try to be in my tub tomorrow.

We actually had more accumulation during the blizzard in October, but the winds were much worse this time.  I was truly scared driving home as you literally couldn't see more than maybe 50 feet in front of your car...

From October (cover doing it's job :)):
