Another EFFIN' Blizzard?!?!

[mingez]

Thankfully I got supplies. I don't think I can take another 2 days couped up again.

 

[calpher]

Send some down here to Texas please!

Have only seen a snowflake or two so far this season. I love snow but I don't envy what you all are dealing with :shock:

Mingez,
call Al Gore and tell him you want your global warming now.:lol:

I know you were kidding, but...

Actually, it's snowing now because of global warming. What many people don't realize, is Global warming isn't best determined by steppingout of your front door, licking your finger, and testing the temperature. Warmer air over the ocean is better able to hold more H20 particles. The result is greater wind velocity, more rainfall, and more snowfall in areas of colder temperature.

Also, inconsistency of temperatures during said storms. I was wearing a short sleeved shirt just 2 days ago, and rockclimbing the week before the first blizzard. Hot, cold. 5 degrees, 80. It's irritating.

Mingez, you're better than a magic eight ball. Will you take my next college exam. LOL

OK.8)

OK.8)

I'm assuming that's an "Ok" of "I'm not buying it."

S' Cool.

Hey I don't want to hijack your blizzard thread for sure, I know we have different opinions as to what science and fact is on this topic so lets just let this one pass.

BTW, what did you stock up on this time around? I'm surprised the stores had time to restock from the last one. What would you do in case of power outage.
Do you have a fireplace to burn wood or a back up heat source?

Do you at least have some elderly neighbors you can use as a backup food supply should things go bad? Start with the thighs, as they will have the most meat on them on the elderly. Maybe we can start calling you Ian Donner.

No, since Mingez is in Colorado, call him Alfred Packer

Unfortunately this time the skies aren't blue, and the trees are white now not green. It's stilla schpedoinkle day though...

Cool, I appreciate that.

Packed up on a ton of TV dinners and canned food. I have 3- 10 gallon tanks worth of drinking water stored in my camping tanks.

As for a power outage, I'd be kind of screwed. I don't have a fireplace, but this place stays pretty warm from what I can gather so far. It's been as low as 5* F , and it wasn't that bad with no heat. (I kept the heater off because my Nov bill was insane!) I have some real good camping gear, jackets, thermals, under armor, so I'm good unless a real hard core freeze comes thru.

I wish I had a fireplace tho.

That wiki articlel is funny. Did you read with the sentencing judge (according to mythos and legend ) supposedly said?

On April 16, 1874, Packer arrived alone at Los Pinos Indian Agency near Gunnison. He spent some time in a Saguache, Colorado bar, meeting several of his previous party. He initially claimed self-defense, but his story did not pass in court. During the trial, the judge supposedly said:

"Damn you, Alferd Packer! There were seven Dimmycrats in Hinsdale County and you ate five of them!"

Sorry, but I only eat right wingers, due to the inherent fattening of that population, and marination of the meat from whiskey and Natural Light Beer. LOL. :lol:

Dang it, I always get the Donner Party mixed up with ol' Alferd. :? He was the one I was thinking about because of Colorado, but yeah....you get my drift.:lol:

Speaking of which, have any of you ever been to a "Donner party"? A friend of mine used to hold an annual Father's Day canoe trip down the Arkansas river from Sterling to Mount Hope, and afterwards would hold a "Donner party", complete with barbecued ribs, and other meats shaped like legs, arms, fingers, and ending with jello shaped like a human brain, even the same color!:lol: Man, I miss the good ol' days with him. He was quite a unique individual!

No, that's not odd at all! I regularly emulate cannibalism.
