Record Snow = Day Off = Awesome (56k warning)

:D

You have snow outside. Why are you using your fridge?

Mmm Alexander Keith's... although I think that's light beer in the picture which I disapprove of :p

My friend warned me about the possibility of frozen beer. That may or may not happen but I figured I wouldn't chance it. I'm pretty much waiting for my hockey game to come on before I crack one open....hence I stuck it in the fridge. :D

Yeah if the temperature is too cold outside then the water content in your beer can freeze you have essentially a beer slushy. One that tastes worse than if you just poured beer into a slushy. :p Not that good either. Although if you're just in the negatives (Celsius), then you have a good long while before beer will freeze on ya. Generally it's great if the store you got your beer from didn't have them cooled. Gets them chilled nice and quick :D
 
I rather have snow than the crap we got here Sunday night: sleet. That stuff turned our neighborhood into an ice rink. Luckily it got above freezing yesterday and now it's gone.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
 
Thankfully we haven't seen that sleet. The deep freeze is a coming which calls for sunny days but temperatures in the single digits. Should make for mo' better pictures if the snow doesn't get dirtied up from traffic.

These will be the last pics until the snow stops; then I'll snap a quick yardstick photo to see where we stand.

I've been taking the camera outside when I go to smoke. I shot these around 2 o clock; grabbed some lunch (biscuits and sausage gravy with home fries), and am just sitting back down to the computer. The Flyers/Habs game starts at 4pm.

Thanks for enjoying this with me.

It really started coming down there for a moment.

The Carport; I don't think it can handle that much snow.

So we decided it was time to remove it.

This pile is off the carport and about as tall as I am.

Pshh, I've seen a two foot drift turn into a ten foot drift in two hours.

I have seen that as well. I have also seen bulldozers have to come and clear out the street because the snowplow got stuck. Ever dug out your car from two and a half feet of snow in the morning and at night? Where I used to live got hammered all the time. We still get a bunch here, but not like where I used to live.

I had to dig a tractor out to be able to dig a truck out last winter. :D Thank God our stupid plow man didn't come in and get stuck himself. :rollno: And this is one of those big graders, not one of those whimpy city plows.

The worst was two years ago when we had a blizzard every weekend for seven week straight.

I'll go find some pics from that one.

EDIT: Some from that winter.
