Yes, that is snow right on my patio. The Upper midwest (and some cities on eastern sea-board of the U.S) is blanketed with snow. Several cities have had to declare snow emergency. Several people are snowed-in, and several events and flights have been canceled since the storm started late Friday. It appears the snow-show will continue all day today. Tomorrow will be a dig-out day…no doubt about that.

Yep. Looks like the planet’s warming up for sure. A normal winter day in Minnesota back in the “old days” and you would have had to take this photo from your roof! You couldn’t even find your backyard due to the heavy snowfalls let alone your patio. Watch them grizzlies ’cause they will be coming out of hibernation early this year! Hungry!

You are right about global warming BRE, however, this is a heck too much snow for my ‘African-ness”. I have to see where my foot lands!
I’m in agreement with Mochafella statement above, the lastest foot of snow that dropped 48 hours ago has turned my yard into an arctic wilderness. The drifted snow there measures at least 3 feet!

I don’t know how I missed this post. You know I am down here in Georgia and it hardly ever snows down here. I’m not really with the super humid summers, but I guess if given the choice I’d take those to 3 or heck even 1 foot of snow.

Good to bump into you here, probably by now that snow is now slush or gone, but it makes for nice mental imagery for me…seeing as how I haven’t seen snow in 3 or 4 years since my last winter trip to St. Louis!
