I love the grey cloud cover nights you have when it's winter, peaceful with a hint of snowfall on the way.

The only place snow belongs is on those pointy rocks in the background...

Beautiful picture! Where might I ask is that? Edmonton?

Can't see the mountains from Edmonton. That is Calgary, only 45 minutes to the rocks.
Here is one taken from my back deck.

I've never been to Canada (Niagra Falls doesn't count) but plan on driving from the east coast to the west coast and then to Alaska before I get too old.

Yes, that's where we should limit the snow to. Not your back yard, just the pointy things.

I couldn't agree more. I have many memories of sledding for hours then we would come into the basement strip down and thaw out in front of the wood burner.
A friends brother had 6'2" in his drive after the first wave of snow passed through.
To some this may seem strange, but when I lived in TX I missed the snow. Now it's just work to move it off of the driveway. While I was snow blowing tonight the kids cleaned the deck off so they could make a starting ramp for sledding. Oh to be a kid again.
Lot of miles and even more neat things to see. I've done the coast to coast in my Fury, when it and I were younger, but I haven't done Alaska yet. Alaska and the far north are on my bucket list.

Saw this BS when after I posted the NICE WEATHER thread, as the storm was progressing up the coast I said WTF are they making this up? 'Bombogenesis'... Is that a new word? Nope Dict.org = No definitions found for "Bombogenesis"... oops poodle search finds that NOAA recognizes it as a 'Weather term'.
Gud Gawd!
And when did they start naming winter storms or for that matter Tropical Depressions?
Oh wait I was trying to find out facts of a Tropical Depression that sat over North Florida back in the early 90's for the whole month of October. Dumped more rain on us than any hurricane and the Orlando News reported that Central Florida had just 9 hours of sunshine for the month of October. That's right 9 hours not days. With the revamped weather site you can't find anything easy there now, maybe they don't want us too. But one thing was fo'sure they didn't name Tropical Depressions back then!
And snow? Me, Blizzard of 1978 up in Boss'ton... Many funny stories on that stupidness... "Yes Doctor I understand on why you just haf'ta be plowed first... but what don't you understand about my outstretched hand with the palm up from the pickup truck window?

My cousin use to live in Pulaski NY, she come down for Thanksgiving one year and I questioned her on the snowstorm that dumped 6' of snow up her way in October. All her reply was "Yea and we got a new snowplow driver... took out all the mailboxes on the road!" he he... My reply was "Well it's early in the season, ya gotta push it back ya know".
How cold is nuts was it Johnny??
