What am I supposed to do with a foot of snow in April?

[anti-everything]

Seriously? We got a foot of snow today.

[fizzgig]

1. build a snow fort?

or a snowman? :shrug:

[anti-everything]

2. I was thinking shovel the driveway,

but your idea is better. I still need to shovel the driveway, though...

[qnr]

3. well, build the snow fort, but use only the snow from the driveway n/t

6. The latest snowfall I remember in the Boston, Massachusetts suburb we lived in...

was on May 10th! All the deciduous trees were leafed out and that snowfall caused us thousands of dollars in damage to fences, pool, and trees.

Here in Portland, OR, we get snow where it belongs... usually on the mountains.

7. In Duluth, MN,

we get snow almost any time of year. July is the only month in recorded history that we haven't had snow.

10. I remember one of those May snowstorms in Massachusetts

My family's house was in an old apple orchard and the wet, heavy snow was too much for one of my favorite trees to bear and left it looking like a broken umbrella.

8. that's a great idea

[barb162]

13. I think it would be a great help to do the driveway

[tk2kewl]

17. make snow cones

4. We got it Sunday and yesterday...

I think of it as an even bigger incentive to enjoy spring and summer once it finally arrives...

5. You'll get a break from it in a few days. I'll invite you to look at our Hawaii photos for a couple

of hours.

It was beautiful there, but I wanted your foot of snow at least a couple of times. If you invite me over, we can make some soup together... or play Scrabble... your move...

9. I love Hawaii...

Couldn't live there though, not enough snow or sub-zero temps.

[Radio_Lady]

14. I love Hawaii, too -- in the winter -- in small doses -- and with the promise of

going home to a temperate climate.

Portland is a compromise. It never gets cold enough here for me, but my husband loves the heat of summer. Never the 'twain shall meet...

[WCGreen]

11. Get a real big straw and snort it...

[anti-everything]

12. I don't want to freeze the left side of my brain...

[Theduckno2]

15. In grammar school, a friend of mine used store snowballs ...

...in the family's downstairs freezer and then bring them out in July.

:bounce: WARNING! WARNING! Those snowballs tend to be hard as rocks come about July!! :bounce:

16. Throw flower seeds on top of it

As it melts, it softens up the seeds and pulls them into the ground. Great way to get many flowers started!

Works with lettuces too.

18. Make Snow Angels then drink Hot Cocoa?

What the hell do you expect in Duluth? May as well be in Canada... :sarcasm:

:hi:

19. Snow fort:

That is what we did the last big snow we got...

Enjoy - soon the hovercraft mosquitos will be chewing you up and you will be wishing for the snow...

[youthere]

20. Make some Easter snow bunnies?

[hedgehog]

21. Just be glad it's a foot of snow and not 4"" of ice!

I'm dreading the weekend here in Central New York - wet snow for the next 6 or 7 days!?!?!?
