  • 5 FEET of snow???

    Just listening to the weather. Tahoe is supposed to be getting 5 FEET of snow this weekend from the west coast storm.

    I dunno. We get 2 to 3 feet and everything closes down for a day or two. What we would do with 5 feet of the white stuff????

    Well. Happy skiing!

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

      Some say the world will end in fire,
      Some say in ice.
      From what I’ve tasted of desire
      I hold with those who favor fire.
      But if it had to perish twice,
      I think I know enough of hate
      To know that for destruction ice
      Is also great
      And would suffice.

        My snowblower only works in the Summer, I don't think I would want to be there. HMmmmmmmmmmm maybe since it is winter now, I should get my snow blower working for once for when I need it.

          I am leaving on Wed for a one week ski trip to Ridge Tahoe.

          I don't know what they will do with it. I do know that skiing through 5 feet of powder would be nearly impossible for someone of my stature.

          Lets hope they can pack that stuff down before I get there or I may be lost on the mountain forever.

              We got married summer of 1974, and immediately moved to San Bernardino. We rented a two-bedroom cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains, just up the hill from Blue Jay (between Blue Jay and Twin Peaks, near Agua Fria junction, if yoiu know the area well). The cabin was two story, with one of the bedrooms upstairs.

              Our landlord showed us pictures of the house after a three-day snowstorm the previous winter. The house was buried in snow almost halfway up the second story - about ten to twelve feet of snow. The previous tenants literally used the second story bedroom window to get in and out.

              CalTrans and the County Road Department were clearing snow with the largest front end loaders and earth moving equipment available. Of course, there were many autos that had been abandoned and were completely blanketed in snow. As snow was being pushed off the edges of the roads, it was not uncommon for cars to get pushed off the road and into a gully or ravine along with the snow. There apparently were even several cases of some small cars (such as VW Beetles) getting scooped up by front-end loaders, carried to the edge of a cliff, and dumped down the cliff face along with a load of snow.
              “Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

              “This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”

              “You shouldn't wear that body.”

                I think I like the one better where the horse is in the woods...lol....no ice there. (Snow maybe...no ice. This guy seems to like cold.)

                  Yesterday, the weather channel was reporting that Tahoe was going to get 10 FEET of snow with this new front.

                    You know you can sing almost any Robert Frost poem to the tune of "Hernando's Hideaway." Try it, it works best with

                    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

                    Whose woods these are I think I know.
                    His house is in the village though;
                    He will not see me stopping here
                    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

                    My little horse must think it queer
                    To stop without a farmhouse near
                    Between the woods and frozen lake
                    The darkest evening of the year.

                    He gives his harness bells a shake
                    To ask if there is some mistake.
                    The only other sound’s the sweep
                    Of easy wind and downy flake.

                    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
                    But I have promises to keep,
                    And miles to go before I sleep,
                    And miles to go before I sleep.

                      I can't imagine having to deal with 10 ft of snow. You wouldn't even be able to see out your windows.

                        10 ft, hmmm I wonder if that qualifies for a snow day?

                              I know, it's very hard not to do the OLE and the flamenco thing. But they don't go with the whole quiet woods motif. You have to work at your art.
