It's not all that bad if you're going through it in good weather, lol. When it snows though they usually shut it down pretty quickly. One of my favorite things going through there is being completely out and looking back at it because it looks much worse than it seemed while you were driving it.

So you are the one Racinrach that I heard singing. Still snowing here in Omaha and I hear they already have 5 inches in Linchon, and its coming this way. People coming into the store say its getting very icy out and the wind has picked up.

Oh, you just want it to snow so you can have more time off! What a brat! Besides, how are we going to do Christmas Part II if it keeps snowing?

Whoami, at least you have a mailbox. In Valdez, Alaska you have to rent a P.O. box because there is no home delivery. The snow gets too deep to find the mailboxes.

I checked that snow auction. She sold 10 units (whatever it is) at $25 per unit. It would be interesting to know if they all paid. Some people just have too much disposable income. I don't live in Valdez anymore. I only go there in August to fish for silver salmon now. Average snowfall there is like 12 feet per year but they've been known to get 5 or 5 feet in one night. Today in Fairbanks we had Sunrise at 10:54am Sunset at 2:55pm for a total of 4 hours, 1 minute and 18 seconds of daylight. That's a gain of 19 minutes and 13 seconds of daylight since the shortest day 12/21/06. Yippee!

-43.6 F is the temperature (with the windchill) outside my door right now. BRRRRRRRRRR. I wish I didn't have to leave the house today, but I have my university classes to attend and kids to drop off/pick up from school and daycare.

My local paper forcasts snow on the Valley Floor tonight. We are about 40 minutes north of Sacramento. We only get snow about once every 10 years.

I'm on the other side of Sacramento and we're hearing the same thing. It's in the 30's this morning but I don't expect snow. Stay warm everyone!!

I heard that Gov. Schwarzenegger has ordered emergency shelters to open in LA this weekend because it's going down to freezing! In Los Angeles!

Snow levels are supposed to be dropping rapidly tonight and forecasting record breaking cold temps. Funny thing is it's 43 here this morning which is about 20 degrees warmer than it has been all week at this time. Of course it's not supposed to get much warmer this afternoon.

It is supposed to drop down into the low 30s and even lower in some areas of Orange County, too. And it was really WARM on Monday, I mean 75-80 in the sun!.. Tuesday was almost as balmy and then it started dropping and dropping.. I have a friend in Redmond, WA who took 4 hours to get home because of sudden and copious snow. Usually takes 30-35 min for her commute.

The last time we had snow in this area of Northern California, I was in 4th grade. It was only a dusting and a very, very long time ago.

It isn't going to get down to my level, but I think Wargod stands a chance of being dusted or more..

Juju2bigdog is innocent!! I just looked up to see where Serenity is with that -43 F. Saskatchewan. That must be the cold air that is expected to arrive here Sunday.

Going down to 1500 ft, if it snows, we'll get some, but yeah Sea, they've been saying all week we probably wouldn't have much on the ground. The kids are all excited about the prospect of a snow day, they've been hearing all week from their teachers how they'll be doing this or that on Friday, if they don't have a snow day. Caleb's class has been following the weather reports as part of their science lesson this week so everytime I turn around he's on the computer looking it up and then giving me updates, lol. I think the little nuts are enjoying this!

Sheesh. You know how much it has to snow here for them to even consider a snow day??? When I was in about 3rd grade in Salem, OR it snowed a little- my mom took me to school and we couldn't figure out why no one else was there. Snow day. We laughed...we didn't even consider it snow!
