Post by: Brewman on January 04, 2007, 11:50:35 am: Yeah, lack of snow and warm temperatures are doing a number around here, too.
Lakes are unsafe to venture out on, resorts and related businesses depending on snowmobilers are suffering, and the cross country ski trails remain closed.
Most of the ski hills in this area make their own snow, so they are open.

Mild temperatures make for nice hot tubbing, lower heating bills, so it's not all bad.
We just got some snow on New Years eve, only about 3" and most if it will be melted by tomorrow.

I had 5 ft drifts around my spa twice in the last 2 weeks....By the time I got it shoveled out I really needed to get in the spa.

We had so much snow on the Divide that my Hummer got high centered.

Post by: wmccall on January 04, 2007, 12:57:58 pm: We have had .1" of snow this season. I only turned the tub up to 104 once when the nights were in the 20s. I guess I could buy some colorado snow on Ebay.

My slope opened for a week in mid December, but it hasn't been cold enough to even try to make it. They say below 26F for at least 3 hours.

Post by: vlady on January 04, 2007, 01:35:02 pm: I'm with you, I want snow too. If it is going to be cold and gloomy, I want it snowing - otherwise, I want it to be warm and the sun shining.

Since I grew up in the South, I've seen very little snow in my life. Now that I live in an area that gets a few snows, I love it!

Post by: Chas on January 04, 2007, 03:23:15 pm: You know, come to think of it, we haven't had any snow around here either.

For the past five decades.

Hmm.

Post by: In Canada eh on January 04, 2007, 08:31:25 pm: You know, I do miss the snow. Its 48 degrees out and the landscape is just kind of brown and grey and boring. A good snow fall would really look nice about now. The trees and plants are all very confused, we have hostas in our back yard that are spouting in January :o

Post by: wmccall on January 04, 2007, 11:30:14 pm: We have to have at least one good snow with flat flakes falling while we soak. We will probably get it in April.
