BTW 1 night of snowmaking + a stack of grooming =
The biggest snow flakes I’ve seen fell in +15℃
That must have been some good LSD!
At the time I questioned if I was trippin or if the thermometer was broken.
I’ve never seen snow build up 6” on telegraph wire since then either.
Some flakes were 2” across.
RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN.
Spaz I’m trying to look for some optimistic signs. At a very basic level if it’s below zero and there is supposed to be precipitation chances are it will fall as snow. I don’t care about statistical anomalies like snow in 15 degree temps or rain in minus 10, hell I even had it snow in the playground when I was at primary school once but those are very low percentage chances.
All weather forecasting and models are sort of black magic but I’d like to hope for the best while preparing for the worst and it looks like it could be a a chance. Even MW is saying similar things today.
BTW is anyone whose down there actually going up the hill today?
Dark and I are currently at the tube bout to head up
NBG,
If forecasting and supercomputer models are “sort of” black magic why temp superstition?
If you hope for the best why use the “r” word? It would show more optimism by replacing the word with one more associated to snow (liquid snow is another option).
You might as well do an indian dance in a circle in hope of heavens opening, since you’ve chanted the words in CAPS over and over in defiance of my request. You offer little respect to the spiritual attachment I have to snow.
Maybe you just do it to stir me
Or you don’t give a shit and are happy for it to r__n all season long.
So there you go people - the next front is more likely to be wet not frozen because of NBG. I did my best to appease the snow gods but some people are to obnoxious to care or honour another persons belief
ps, if the whole season is crap it’s NBG’s fault. Or if floods occure, it’s NBG’s fault. If my bathtub overflows, guess who’s fault it is? yep NBG!
Spaz I’ll walk under ladders, laugh at black cats crossing my path and break mirrors to my hearts content without any worries regarding bad luck. Personally I’ll call a spade a spade and rain as rain, I don’t see the use of the word having anymore bearing on the weather outcome than my opinion on taxation has any bearing on Swans budget….................yet. When I rule the world that shall be a different story.
My brand of optimism is tempered by reality, I’m not going to say that there will be 200cms of snow on Thursday because patently it won’t happen. I’m perfectly within my rights to practice my own brand of optimism and I highly doubt that it actually offends you.
I don’t mind if everyone wants to blame me for the rain, it’s like what my christian name is actually supposed to mean, “one who is close to god’ and what could be more godlike than controlling the weather!
Actually seeing as the snow is so shit right now and I’m lucky enough to be a surfer and have the best of both worlds I’m going to go for a surf right now. Spaz you surf as well, why not go make the best of it like I’m about to!
I’m not offended at all, just trying to have half a laugh at the seriousness the world seems to put on life, the weather, money, education…. etc.
My humor is dark and often not recognised.
My BW bio reads; “I’m very serious about not taking life seriously”.
Plus, as you know, I love a game of verbal chess (I’m argumentative).
My christian name = the power (or strength) of god.
Make of that what you will but being close to god isn’t the same as containing godly power.
Maybe I will utilise some power and turn the hills white this week. If I feel those close to me deserve it.
And they stop using words I don’t like
At 10am I had just come home from the beach
Making the most of it slept on the beach last night.
I might just be a step ahead of you NBG. Keep close some of my power might rub off. haha
I can only hope that you had a friend to keep you warm last night, it wasn’t too warm and the sand is a truly shit insulator. It depends how you interpret close to god. Personally I interpret it as meaning as close to being god as you can get without actually being god. perhaps combined we can come close to a 200cm dump!
Well stop talking about it.. and get onto it asap!!
Looks like the next system is coming through on Weds/Thurs and extending into next week. Here’s hoping!
Just address your prayers and gifts to NBG&spaz; @ Boardworld.
If the gifts please us (and that “r” word is kept at bay), together I think we could make it 3m.

It wasn’t cold!

I don’t sleep on the sand.
