SilvrT Posted December 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2008 A panoramic view of our place Christmas morning 2008 (created with 7 individual pics) http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp16/SilvrT/ChristmasMorningPanoramic.jpg Now, as soon as I get all that snow shovelled off the driveway, out comes the scoot as we'll be heading out for a wonderful day ride....

You can have all that snow... It sure looks beautiful in a photo or on TV, but I dont want no part of it anymore.. I shoveled enough snow in my life for 23 years..no more for me.. ha!!... only 23 years? you're lucky! Except for the odd time or 2 while living here on the west coast, I'd say I've shovelled snow every year for the past 55 years!. I'm 62 now so that means I started when I was 7. During the winter in some areas I've lived, shovelling snow is a daily chore and in some cases, 3 times a day ... not to mention all those years I helped shovel snow off the outdoor rinks. Quite frankly, I'd much rather be somewhere where it rarely snows, the weather is warm enuf for riding all year long and I could give all my winter clothes to someone else. Maybe one day... but then again, there's that old saying "be carful what you wish for" LOL (ask me why that saying concerns me LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted December 26, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 26, 2008 Been shovelling as long as I can remember, and I have had enough this year already. Three decent storms in less than a week. If I was able to ride year round I would never get anything done. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted December 26, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 26, 2008 Now, as soon as I get all that snow shovelled off the driveway, out comes the scoot as we'll be heading out for a wonderful day ride.... (in our dreams!) Yup, got about 2 feet of the white stuff, at my place, here on the wet coast. How am I going to get any winter riding in (before heading back to Wainwright), with this stuff on the ground. :bang head: Using 4wd on the truck, to get to & from my place too, due to road conditions.:snow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted December 26, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 26, 2008 Seeing as how you guys on the left coast of Canada always like to rub it in when we get a little cold spell on the prairies, I just cant be silent on the small amount of snow we have here as usual. We have about 3 inches on the ground with a few drifts higher than that. I dont know why you guys think cold is so bad..., when its cold it doesnt snow and the sun comes out.. PLUS you dont have to shovel the cold.....:innocent:, you can dress for the cold, you cant dress for shovelling:innocent: Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted December 26, 2008 Share #8 Posted December 26, 2008 PLUS you dont have to shovel the cold.....:innocent:, you can dress for the cold, you cant dress for shovelling Brian Thats a dry cold, not the same as the cold we get here, it's a damp bitter cold. But it is nice to see the west coast getting some of that nice white stuff, you have to have some snow for Christmas. BRad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecb Posted December 26, 2008 Share #9 Posted December 26, 2008 How come none of you guys got a snowblower????? :stickpoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted December 26, 2008 How come none of you guys got a snowblower????? :stickpoke: Snowblower??? That's a new word for me! Seriously, here on the "wet" coast, we never get enuf snow to warrant having a snowblower. Correction...we RARELY get enuf snow! That being said, I've never used a snowblower anywhere I've lived because I never felt it was necessary. I have had a number of occasions where I've used a tractor with a plow or a front-end loader.

Marcarl Posted December 26, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 26, 2008 How come none of you guys got a snowblower????? :stickpoke: Oh yah I got me one of those, must have been made by Ford, last week it was Fix Or Repair Daily. It's good to go now though, and I'll bet I'll not need it much anymore this winter,, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. We'll see how it all comes out in the wash.

halfwitt Posted December 26, 2008 Share #14 Posted December 26, 2008 I got a new snowblower two years ago and have never used it. Our winters in Southern PA are either LOTS of snow or NO snow. I do hope I get a chance to try it out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
