What's up with this?
« on: January 10, 2011, 09:07:47 am »
first, it snows on christmas day here in abbeville, sc, 4" worth.  it was a nice touch for the kids to have a white christmas, but it hasn't snowed on christmas day here since 1963.  now, i'm sitting here looking at 4" with snow still falling and more coming.  this is the heart of dixie, what's up with all this snow?!?  must be global warming.

Hi Mech we had snow on the 26th of December and we're getting ice today that's the most in maybe 10 or 15 years for here. I guess it is the global warming.Ron ;D
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Tell you what Chris, it must be a widespread conspiracy, because we are getting it here too. Some snow, mostly ice, and if we don't lose power today I'll be surprised. In the photo of my back fence the ice has pulled the bushes to the ground, and the pines are heavy laden. The sound of snapping wood is filling the forest this morning.

Chris, you need to swap houses with me one winter-we've had nearly three feet total so far in the last month, and it's still snowing hard right now. And it was -2 here yesterday morning.

I had some of my best hunts for small game, in the snow, when I was a kid in South Carolina. Back in the early seventies. Quail,rabbits,squirrels,tracking coons to the den tree.
 A turkey truck turned over and there were white turkeys running all over the place for a couple of days. (We ate turkey for months). Go Hunting  '  Frank

We got and are getting another inch with a little sleet with it. Hopefully it will fizzle out before the ice comes.
  I just got back from a walk in the woods with Lucy Brown. Not a track in sight until we came through. In some spots I bet the snow in 10" deep out in the woods. Sure is pretty!  8)

You must have sent that stuff up north.  Got 4" or so today and its still coming down.  I'm not looking forward to the hour long drive to work tonight.  Somehow I bet it takes me more than an hour.

 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
