Nice pics. Which do you prefer, riding or shoveling ??

On a side note, there is a ski resort on Vancouver Island that just received more snow than their combined 30 year history. A report on the TV showed drifts covering 2nd story windows.

personally prefer the two months earlier situation. warm weather born and bred.

this year is surprise for many and we got enough to enjoy but it was beautiful.

For folks not in a snow belt location the snow can be a bit of a treat and a change from the norm. Having grown up and spending 60 years in Edmonton Alberta I don't relish a cold snowy winter anymore. Been here in Squamish for 5 years with little to no snow fall with temps that don't get below freezing for too long. Much more to my liking as I get older and more of a wuss. If I "need" a snow fix I can always drive up to Whistler just North of here and see lots of snow up close and personal.

The mountains around Squamish have snow at higher elevations all winter and some remains year round so we have continuous snow melt feeding the rivers and streams.

View in back of my cabin in Idyllwild Christmas AM.

I thought I'd rub it in a little. Maybe improve the mood (or not).
Some photos of my old boat sailing off Newport R.I., some dinghy racing off my beach in Florida, and a typical morning sunrise and sunset down here.
Screw the snow.

Now your really rubbing it in.I hate the f#@$#% snow! :poke2: :roll:

Nice photos mrlmd1. You have my envy. Maybe someday when I grow up and figure out what to do with my life I might get a chance to live on the Beach in a warm climate too.

It's not that warm here in Florida on the beach right now - for the past three days it's been 20-25 at night, 45-55 during the day, but supposed to get up to 65-70 again in the next few days. Cold, but not as bad as where you guys are, and no friggin snow, don't need the Desert Storm Hummer I had in NJ down here to get around.
