New York City, any snow this week?

[Paul]

Hello, wondered if anyone from New York could tell me if you've had any snowy weather in the city this past week (from Sunday)?

[mini mad]

Not sure about new york, but i know whashington is snowy.

[uptick]

NYC - yes on sunday - but none today - all washed away
NYC suburbs - still some snow on lawns and grassy areas - may be washed away tomorrow - rain in the forcast...

how much you want shipped over, Paul?

[Paul]

Just wondering as my in-laws are over there and they wanted snow.

Damn I came in this thread thinking Paul was coming for a visit and hoping for some some, here I was thinking how fast I could throw a rally together

Paul, If I recall you said you loved snow. Send the in-laws up here to New Hampshire and I'll give them as much as they want to carry home to you.

16", little sleet here on top of what was left from the last one. And rain due Wednesday night.

New mantra = Key West, Key West, Key West

[Paul]

Just send them about five hours north, it is the proverbial winter wonderland up here. We've had 49" of snow in Burlington in the past 10 days (even more in the mountains, Jay Peak in northern Vermont has had over 90" of the white stuff in the past 10 days). We got about a foot last night (even though the weatherman said we'd only get 3" to 6"), and after getting two 18+" snowstorms in a week, it seemed like small potatoes. The kids love it of course, three snow days in a week and a half. The height of the snowbanks in my neighborhood have officially roared past "huge" and are now in the "comical" zone...

They're back now, they had fun, and a little snow, enough to satisfy them anyway! You've got to realise what we class as "snow" and what you class as "snow" can be quite different. I'm happy to get a light sprinkling, beats nothing at all!

Just a short FYI, Paul. Most of us like snow but the real problem when it gets this quantity this early is where to put it all. Ricardo will agree, I think, that there comes a time when the mountains of plowed or shoveled snow are high enough to warrant Sherpas.

True, I think I saw Tenzing Norgay on the treadmill at my gym last night. The past week has seen my area overrun with dumptrucks carrying huge loads of snow to whatever secret undisclosed locations (near Cheney) they can find in order to dump the stuff, because you reach a point where just pushing it to the side of the road doesn't cut it anymore. In the main parking lot where I work (it's a mall-sized parking lot), about 30% of the parking area has been turned into a massive field of 12 foot tall snow dunes as the dump the snow from the rest of the lot into the southeast corner. It can be a nuisance, but if you like an old fashioned white Christmas, this is your scene...

Hey, my spelling of the vice president's first name got censored. Who do I have to talk to about having the last name censored too?

-Ricardo

[stryder]

Talk to Paul, he's the censor man.

I think the UK version of 'cold' is also a bit different from the US (or Canadian) version... I hope the in-laws didn't free any body parts off either, I thought only Americans bothered to go to NY in the winter, everyone else thinks its too cold, even if they've got a big tree.

I remember the days when we would just toss the snow into the nearest body of water...in my case LI Sound. Now because of any salt used, I guess, we do not do that. Now we wait for it to melt, then the salty water flows into the same bodies of water as before. Must be something in the aging process. BTW, Paul will censor the dimin of Richard, Ian and Gavin say it's redickulous but...
