lol pat! 
And he works out of New Englandā ā ?
Blimeyā¦ a foot of snow? Bad? Iām starting to wonder where the connection is 
We sometimes get 4 or 6 ft in one hit, which is the case for tonights forecast 
But the ploughs work very hard, so there is rarely more than 6" on the actual road surface, a foot would come above the bottom of the bumber, which would make it very hard, especially when climbing Killington mountain (on rt 4) so if he had a foot on the road he would never make it.
As it happens, the next day I drove along the same road, the was about 6 - 8 inches in the verges near the sumit and all the ski resorts were open, but once over and down the other side it was clear 
He had no excuse, because with an early drop up in Maine he should have been way over at that time of morning, I always go as far as eastern NH for the night if I am heading out that way.

Not to be difficult or anything 
, but Patrick and I were a bit curious about all the snow in Manitoba since you think a foot of snow is nothing Allikat,ā¦ so we took a look at a few of the live webcams online. All pictures except oneā¦ all dated today, have no snowā¦and grass greener than my Christmas treeā¦ and the one that did have snow was in the south side of Winnipegā¦ and it showed just a dustingā¦ but the Winnipeg area is forecast snow for later todayā¦a whopping 2.5 cm of it lolā¦ but its amazing how 3 cm of snow can become 3 feet during the course of a conversation 
, not that Patrick canāt exaggerate himselfā¦ I canāt recall getting 4-6 feet in one day last yearā¦ but then again, Iām used to it, and I wasnāt the one outside pushing the snowblower through it, so it probably DID seem like that to him . And the temperatures there are about 15 degrees warmer than they are here todayā¦ think we might go to manitoba for a tropical holiday. 
I take it this is the North American version of that classic old Python sketch with the 3 Yorkshiremen ("Thatās nothingā¦when I was a lad there were 6 of us living on a paving slab with only 1 piece of coal to keep us warmā¦ )ā¦or tipper drivers boasting about how many loads theyāve tippedā¦or tanker drivers trying to outdo each other on how fast they can take a roundabout without rollingā¦or container drivers and whoās been stuck on the dock for longestā¦you guys get all worked up over whoās coldest and whoās suffering most as a consequenceā¦
Nice to see some things are the same the world over, even if the subject variesā¦
Sounds like you got the icey blast that ran through here the other day Kate. Itās been followed up by warm weather.
Funnily enough, Iāve started to get more worried about warm weather than cold here. 
Since any melting turns rapidly to ice the moment it does cool down againā¦
'sides, never said it were nowt, just that a foot is commonā¦ just weāre avin it a bit wierd up ere. get 18" of snow, and it melts!

Seems to be , except the sketch had an ending and this doesn`t
Just my humble opinion.

I had to get up in the morning at ten oāclock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing āHallelujah.ā

LMAOā¦ wonāt be an ending til winters over. Other than being real cold, not much to really talk about yetā¦ that was my whole point.
Monday Dec 20th Atlanta, Georgia (Deep South) Daytime high, 31 degrees F
Monday Dec 20th Fargo, North Dakota (Far North) Daytime High 38 degrees F
Now that, getting back on topic is weird weather!
Just in case anyone is interested the belt of ā Brass Monkey ā weather went as far south as the gulf of Mexico, there were frosts all over the Florida Panhandle Monday morning with frost warnings for citrus growers all the way down to South Florida, sorry people, especially you Northern inhabitants, but it just aināt sāposed to get that cold down here, not this early in the winter.
But yesterday ( Tuesday Dec 21st) the temps were back to normal around Atlanta and were hovering around 60 degrees
Been to Fargo, went shopping at the J there
And thatās 200 miles south of me. Got to love continental weather patterns. It was below -20f here same timeā¦
New Years Eveā¦Spring is here!!!
A/C been running all night, Temp in the mid sixties, A/C running all day temp in the mid seventies!
Itās strangely warm here too Itās above freezung for the frist New Years since I have lived here, what has happened to the weather, I see that California has snow forecast
Weird weather indeed, I thought this was a post about South East Asia!
Well it is now! 
Since Boxing Day and the dreadful news of that Tsunami, there has been snow in Dubai and yesterday it was 16 degrees driving up through the Midlands.
Very Strange and quite worrying
I donāt know how true this is, but Iād heard that it has knocked 3 seconds from the Planets revolution as well as knocked the World slightly off itās axis
We had 4" or more dumped on us yesterday. Plus driftingā¦ all powderā¦ the place was an ice-rink.

Gee, I remember Dec 31, 1978 when it got up to 68 degrees here.
ā ā ā ā Alex, none of the rest of us are old enough to remember that far back!
