I see the number is still high today, yet the performance seems better.
But I'm sure lookin' at your employer's website made you forget about that day (until I reminded you :bigyello:).Quote:

The number is down, and the site is zippy. Will it last?
Probably not, so I'll post now.
So, in the link, you start with the initial photo, then riff on it. Is it just you, or others?
Others. Anyone can participate if they have an account.Quote:

I have literally never expected to experience this in south Louisiana. It really is a winter wonderland!
I just measured it in the deepest part of the snow and it’s right at 12". Most of the yard has at least 6".
The kids are having so much fun. Some of our neighbors are pulling their kids around in their pirogues using their 4-wheeler like a sleigh!
Had to look that word up. lolQuote:
pirogues
I guess I should call my sister, she lives outside of Lafayette.
I never thought I'd see it snowing in the Gulf of America.
8°F here - going down to -10°F tonight. About to take my dogs for a run in the woods but I gotta trim the fur in my golden retriever's paws 'cause they ice up quickly and make it painful to walk.
I always get a kick at how southerners react to extreme cold & snow events that are quite common here.
And it seems everyone outside of Ohio is pissed the Buckeyes won the college football national championship. :lol:
I despise "The" Ohio State and like Notre Dame, but I'm not upset at this win.Quote:

Besides, didn't you see, Oregon is the actual champion this year: https://athlonsports.com/college/ore...-wolfe-ratings which is why we should abolish the recognized NCAA rating systems. UCF is one of those miserable teams that claims a national championship because one of the million NCAA recognized rating systems said they were.
You should, it is a historic snowfall. Lake Charles posted that it is the 3rd most accumulated snow on record with the other two happening in the 1800s. This truly is a once in a lifetime event.Quote:

Right now it is 27 degrees with the feels like at 11 degrees. Tomorrow, the low is 18 degrees! It's nuts because the little bit of snow we've had here melted almost immediately.
This is outside my front door: https://i.imghippo.com/files/aEcn6741oNE.jpg

I'm starting to get concerned that my gutters will fall due to the weight!
Also people are going down the levees on their kneeboards or makeshift sleds.
There's a huge ice dam over my bedroom-slash-office window with equally huge icicles. Holding up so far, but they build houses differently up here. I'd post a photo, but the forum will no longer let me.Quote:

Yeah, I saw that, lol. The team that got trounced by the eventual champion when it really counted is actually the real champion.Quote:

What's going on with the pictures? There are a couple known issues. One is that adding a picture to the quick reply simply doesn't work. I believe you have to add it from Go Advanced, though I can't say that I have tried it. Another possibility is the meagre limit on storage.
You have more snow, and somewhat colder temperatures, than Boise. Of course, we're a desert, but we could certainly use that snow in the mountains.
I always heard about snow blindness, but never experienced snow on the ground the day after. This stuff is so incredibly bright reflecting off the sun, I totally get how snow blindness can be a thing.
If you are looking at the snow reflecting off the sun, snow blindness might not be the issue.
You can make yourself a pair of Eskimo glasses. The whole point is GREATLY reducing the amount of light reaching your eyes. Far more than sunglasses will accomplish.
Squinting also works, though it's the same principle.
I thought for a moment that you were referring to squirting.
That's not a principle I wish to promote.
- and no, I am NOT joining this thread.
Welcome aboard!
In my defense, I wasn't looking at the snow reflecting the sunlight. It was more of me being outside for a while, going back in, and not realizing how bright it was outside.Quote:

I think true snow blindness is more severe than that.
I was hoping for some snow today, but the forecast has trended dry. We now have only a 30% chance of anything this evening, which means we'll get nothing. In the valley, 30% is the same as 0% because the 3 is silent.
54F here today. Everything is melting. And my dogs are getting muddy again.
75 here, it's been like that pretty much since the Thursday after our historic snowfall. Feels like winter again.
Definitely nice winter weather. May to October, not my cup of tea.Quote:

Yet another storm may come through on Thursday, but it may not amount to much of anything.
Skiing the next few evenings.
Barely made it to average snow pack after a week of storms. A dry January was not the best.
It was storming here yesterday you probably got it today. Was beautiful today.
We'll be getting it tonight and tomorrow.
I went up skiing yesterday, and had intended to do so tonight, but yesterday was awful. It got really warm on Wednesday, and probably rained. The rain turned to snow and everything froze, so there was ice ridges under perhaps an inch of fresh snow. There was just enough snow to hide the ice ridges, but it meant that it was terribly uneven.
