Hey Tim, Happy Holidays. I've seen it a LOT worse, but at 69 pitching a ton of snow with a shovel in the morning can result in long afternoon naps in
the glow of the wood stove.
Things must be a little screwed-up in town, because the Director of Public Works lives next door, and at 11:00 AM our street is STILL not plowed!
Our national guard usually gets a chance to practice with their equipment loading center berms into dump trucks and hauling the snow onto empty lots,
but they are in Afghanistan protecting us from bin Laden!

to the Baja Nomad website there might be an advertisement banner at the top for the prior website .
Addressed in these two previous threads in the user issues/concerns forum:
It has been beautiful and quiet. I dug out and went to the market today and needed a "flatlander detector". I-5 gets lots of traffic, chemicals, and
is very straight. Folks get here, pull off the freeway, and try to drive on our snow floor. The intersections closest to the on ramps are worst,
because of people polishing the surface by spinning the hell out of their tires!
Today the problem was people parking in the middle of the street to put-on chains. It was like their simple logistics had to look like an emergency
for everyone else!
18 runs groomed with 24" of fresh in the last 24 hours at the Ski Park, PC, winds under 10 mph, and good viz in the morning!
I'm takin' my carvers!

I did the best I could Bob, I'm old, and it was 29 degrees and I could only get two women to take off their tops. The lady in green thought you must
be a little crude, but she took off her ear muffs anyway.
How's this for a Xmas Eve lift line?
Old Pharts like me get season's passes for $99. I was home by 1:00 PM ...knackered and happy!
Happy family days you all.......

La Víspera de Navidad
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring -- Caramba! Que pasa?
Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
Some in long underwear, some in pajamas,
After hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado
To bring all children, both buenos and malos,
A nice batch of dulces and other regalos.
Outside in the yard there arose such a grito
that I jumped to my feet like a fightened cabrito.
I ran to the window and looked out afuera,
And who in the world do you think that it era?
Saint Nick in a sleigh and a big red sombrero
came dashing along like a crazy bombero.
And pulling his sleigh instead of venados
were eight little burros approaching volados.
I watched as they came, and this quaint little hombre
was shouting and whistling and calling by nombre:
"Ay Pancho, ay Pepe, ay Chucho, ay Checo,
Ay Chato, ay Chico, Pedrito, y Beto!"
Then standing erect with his hands on his pecho
He flew to the top of our very own techo.
With his round little belly like a bowl of jalea,
He struggled to squeeze down our old chiminea,
Then huffing and puffing at last in our sala,
With soot smeared all over his red suit de gala,
He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos --
For none of the niños had been very malos.
Then chuckling aloud, seeming very contento,
He turned like a flash and was gone like the viento.
And I heard him exclaim, and this is verdad,
Merry Christmas to all and Feliz Navidad!
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different
