First snowfall in MN!

[ViviTheMage]

Awesome!

Started last night, this is what it's become...took it with my iphone4 real quick.

 

[Inferno0032]

Loving it too! Beautiful view out my window right now! Nice 7 inch blanket of heavy snow!

Was out in it when it started last night and was more sleet than snow helping a buddy unlock his car with his keys locked in. It makes everything seem so quiet and peaceful.

Cool dog.

 

[mfenn]

You have an iPhone 4??????

But seriously, looks nice.

 

[BoomerD]

Fuck that...I'd be so pissed if I woke up and everything was covered in snow...well, maybe on X-Mas morning it'd be ok...but I'd want that shit gone by noon at the latest...

It's snowed a few times in the Sierra already this year. Right now, it'd take me at least two hours of driving to get there...That's about as close to snow as I want to get.

Weird, we're about 3 hours north and nothing. We did get a few inches a couple weeks back.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Cool dog.

haha ,thanks ... she looks weird because HDR takes 3 pictures and makes the best out of the 3.

This is some heavy snow ... hopefully the roofs can handle it , we just got ours replaced.

 

[zinfamous]

dog looks happy as hell.

:thumbsup:

Congrats. That snow will still be there in May, buried of course under 6-8 feet of newer snow.

I lived just north of Minn/St Paul at White Bear Lake for a year and it was the worse winter I ever experienced and I moved there from Montana.

Nothing wrong with it and if you love snow and cold weather sports and activities its a great place to be.

There are many things I miss.
That is not one of them.

I would like it to snow on Xmas day, although the chances of it happening are very unlikely since I'll be at my parent's place on the south coast, where the salt air dis-encourages snow from settling.

Glad your'e enjoying your winter. I spent the least couple days hiking around the mountains south of Tucson. Yesterday I climbed the peak in the background. I like my winters like I like my women, about 55°F.

 

[ponyo]

I like my once a year snow we get in Atlanta. Because snow is cool and fun the first time around but gets really old fast. Cold weather sucks.

You guys can have Wisconsin's snow then too if ya love it so much. After all, you take a bunch of the ex-Packers. :awe:

Wait til tomorrow morning when it's all black and dirty until it snows and gets a fresh coating on it again.

You suck. I've been wanting to make my way out towards AZ for a good 10 years now.

It took six years of shotgunning resumes and multiple interviews to land a decent job here.

Its 75 degrees here and I went for a run on the beach this morning.

I think you win this though, loved Minneapolis when I visited a friend a few weeks ago

Taking a vacation someplace with snow is one thing. Having to deal with it on the morning commute to work day-in, day-out for months on end is another. Seems like the snow always times itself for maximum effect on either the morning rush hour or afternoon rush hour. It doesn't make a difference because it's pitch-black dark outside for both. When your half hour commute turns into 1-1/2 hours, snow isn't so fun anymore. Then when you finally do get home, you get the bonus of spending an hour+ on shoveling/plowing the driveway & sidewalk.

Yeah I hear you, Ive just lived my entire life in socal, a change for once would be nice.

Plus I really don't like it very much here anyway.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Lots of snow haters, understandable ... but I love it, and my dog loves it, haha.

Can't wait to pull the snowmobile out, and go snowboarding...might even try some skijoring with my dog.

I've never had any issues commuting with bad snow...been in Minnesota my entire life (only 23 years, but still) ... I also go against traffic during morning and afternoon commutes

Cut grass in summer; shovel snow in winter. This snow sucks when it comes to shoveling it, thick and wet and weighs a ton. On the other hand, if the weather gods give you lemons, make lemonade. This snow is pretty sweet to make a snowman though.

I will say the Minnesota was the best I have ever seen when it came to snow removal and plowing. First snowflake and they were out there. Well, thats the way it was when I lived there anyway, cant say about today.

 

[Dominato3r]

Snow in June = D:

It usually is gone by noon.




































The first noon in May.

I have a malamute and he absolutely loves it as well. I use to do the snowmobile thing, but now the last thing I want to do when it's below freezing (much less when it's below 0) is go 100+ mph in an open cockpit. I don't care how many layers of clothes I wear, I'll even be sweating but frozen to the core and it's actually worse. Besides that, it seemed whenever I did own a sled, it barely snowed. Hmmm, maybe I should buy another one just for that reason. If I really get the itch, I have friends that let me take theirs for a spin. 15 minutes is enough to remind me how stupid of an idea that is when you hate the cold to begin with.

In Wisconsin they like to dump 2 inches of salt for every 1 inch of snow it seems.

I was in disbelief when I woke up this morning. BOOM! One day, half a foot.
