Whats more fun than Ice or Snow?

Post by Mr Bean »

ICE... THEN snow!

To be exact we got THREE, Count em THREE Inchs of Freezing rain in two hours, Covering every road in somthing the consitancy of SAND, Yep thats right, Liquid Sand is how grainiler the Ice is

And better yet to top it off, The Snow just stoped but over the past five hours we got 4 Inchs of Snow to go onto of that Three Inchs of Ice/Sand

I do not look forward to shovling tommrow

What's that got to do with the subject?

Unless you thought he said: "What's better: Ice or Snow?"

I don’t see the downside, as long as you're the better arm anyway. :twisted:

I've got about 2" of fresh snow on the ground at the moment. Accumulated snow to about 1', but it's packed down so hard that it's basically soft ice.

What's worse than snow and ice? Daytime high air temperatures in the -15 celcius range for the past few weeks. Overnight lows down to -25 or so. Windchills to -30.

24" of snow and warm? Pah....

As a skiier, I can tell you that snow is better than ice. If you fall on ice it hurts like bitch.

ice is worse, especially if it is accompanied by a driving wind! ice pellets hitting your eyeballs at 40 knots hurts like hell.
