I was going to say that my snow was high up on the mountain. LOL I've seen that photo before and it makes me wonder if it is real or photoshopped?

31 inches in eastern Loudoun County, Virginia (west of Washington, DC.). Fortunately no power outages. It's already melting, so the next issue could be flooding.

It's been a wet winter; ready for some riding weather.

I can always go to the snow if I want to. I choose not to do so, don't like the white stuff too much.

That's not from the US. They are driving on the "wrong" side of the road. We do have a place like that though. Thompson Pass, just up the hill from Valdez--the snow capital of Alaska.

The "old" Loveland Pass looked like that in the winter. Now they have a tunnel. Loveland Pass is in Colorado. Also had a Ski Area there called Loveland Pass.

I guess if you believed it was real, the first thing you'd have to ask yourself is... Where would they find a snowplow that tall? :rolleyes:

A "normal snow" here in TN usually lays only on the grassy areas, paved areas are only wet, followed by some "Black Ice" at night. this time was about 8 inches and it covered everything!!!!!:gaah: Now it is melting.:clap::clap:

Hey Rob, they wouldn't use a snow plow, they have huge snow blowers.

Not using a snow plow. They have had snow blowers for years. Back in the early '80s we had a road in Northern Iowa that would get about this deep. Only they would bring a snow blower in and make one through the really high points. The good thing was that it is a straight road. Still not fun at night.

There are places in the Sierras where over 30' of snow have been recorded. This, of course, was before Al Gore invented global warming. The ski resort, about 9 miles from home, has over 100" on the ground and has had over 240" this year. And more comming this weekend:yikes:

If I didn't love to ski, it would cause:

They may not be driving on the 'wrong' side of the road if someone put the 'negative' in backwards. You need to be older than 50 to really understand that one.

We had one walk right up to us in Disney's Abimal Kingdom Park.
We were on their Safari ride, and a young one came right over! :thumbup:

They don't. Heavy duty snow throwers. They can do a lane at a time with some of them and the snow is blown hundreds of feet.

On second look, this may be a computer manufactured pictures. :thumbup:
