How do you get rid of snow?

Q: How do you get rid of snow?

A: Let it melt.
B: Haul it off in dump trucks.
C: Trick question. It doesn't snow where you live so you don't have to worry about it.
D: Snow isn't real. Al Gore said so in an Inconvenient Truth.

Dude where's my car?

As I was leaving work this evening, I couldn't find my car in all the snow. I crossed my path multiple times trying to decide which vehicle was mine. Don't worry. I eventually found my car and dug myself out.

Albany declared a snow emergency and we only had about 5 inches of snow. WTF! That's nothing. Even driving into work today people thought it was the end of the world. As a native Texan I thought people would be prepared and not treat it like the end of the world. This wasn't even close to the largest storm we've had this season (11.3 inches). SUNY Albany even closed school at 10:30AM after most people had arrived. If you ask me, this was all blown out of proportion and left much to be desired.

On another note, this is my 200th post! Yeah! I know I've been slacking recently, but I hope to get back to my regular routine soon. Thanks to all those faithful visitors and thanks to those who leave wonderful comments. I truly appreciate it.

Sledding

This past weekend I went sledding for the first time this year. It was so much fun! If you haven't gone this season, now is a perfect time. Frear Park in Troy is a wonderful place with lots of hills.

6.3 Inces of Snow

Yesterday morning I woke up to another 6.3 inches of snow that had been dropped on the ground. This is getting a little old. Tomorrow night and Wednesday is suppose to be bitterly cold. Wind chill Wednesday is suppose to be near -24F!

Maybe I should have asked Santa for some warm weather for Christmas.

More Snow

Tonight we are getting another round of snow. Currently we are expecting 5-7 inches, but that is down from the 8-10 they were projecting.

Snowy Steps

Be careful kids. The slide is a little cold and slippery. Don't play long or you may get sick.

Yes the snow's still on the ground.

Footsteps

Yesterday I ventured outside in the freezing cold (Hi 14 - Lo 3) and wanted to take some pictures of the snow (stupid idea when it's so cold). I was walking the park and liked how my shoes were leaving footprints in the snow. Soon after I snapped the picture my hands proclaimed to me "get inside, we are cold".

New Years Eve Snow

As I was leaving work today, I looked down and couldn't find my feet. Help! I'm sinking (I'm not short either). Happy New Year's Eve from a cold (5F) and snowy Albany, NY.

Best wishes in 2009!

Snow that Sticks

Yesterday we had the first amount of snowfall that actually stuck to the ground of the season. It wasn't a significant amount (probably just a trace) and it was gone once the snow turned to rain.
