We barely get snow. You know that growing up here. I know someone who has been spending more time in Texas. They hate it. They say they sweat withing a few minutes mowing their lawn because of the weather in the summer. This snow will all be gone soon and we can look forward to our gorgeous spring, summer, fall seasons.

This might make you feel better. I lived there for 8 years. My wife is Canadian and my son was born there.

I can put up with 2-3 days of snow a year compared to a summer of over 100-degree weather.

I love 100 degree weather. I’ll work in 115 plus temps, massive wildfires that mess with my breathing. As soon as I have to deal with snow and hills with people who lack common sense I get anxiety. Too many close calls in my day. Plus I don’t like being cold.

I don’t mind driving it in my personal vehicle because it’s built for it.

I’m with you. Just closed on a house in AZ. We plan to spend 8 months or so down in the sun and be back in Oregon for summer.

Trying to get her to come down for a few weeks, but I don’t know if she will with the Covid situation.

She was in the hardware store last week and didn’t see me until I told the cashier to be sure to check her ID. Thought she was going to haul off and smack me until she saw it was me……..she spins around darn fast for her age…..

you weren’t able to wipe off the snow, were you, with your small, soft fluffy paws being so cold?

I just pee and shit on it. So it melts the snow.

Then watch and laugh as my stupid human has to clean up the rest of the snow, my piss and shit.

Sounds like snowpocalpse is really floodocalypse in @riverman ‘s area.

I'm at 800 ft so safe from the valley but Lane county has lots of flood plains....usually Fern Ridge Resevoir area 126 gets flooded and many logging roads as well....the rains melted most of the snow in my yard away last night

Today in Redmond, OR we got more snow than we did all of last week -- will probably turn to rain and be gone within 24 hours :dunno: can't wait for more!

No more snow for a while hopefully. Shoveled three driveways today, one being a corner lot with a lot of sidewalk. The back needs a break. This was some wet heavy snow.

I have a long uphill driveway and the snow plows pile it up at the entrance day after day and bury the row of mailboxes as well....I met the maillady and shuffled mail from her van to the neighbors boxes because she couldn't drive close enough......I shoveled that whole patch of the road out so she could deliver the mail next day...it's pretty much rained out now....I can relate to 3 days of shoveling snow though....I have to do that here about once every year...where I grew up the snowplows cleared driveways and the roads so folks could get out and kids could get to the bus stops...here they don't do that.

Yeah here the snowplows pile the snow up in large ice chunks in the driveway. Fortunately they came by about 10 last night so I hadn't shoveled any driveways yet this round. Sometimes I wish the Widow across the street from me didn't live on a corner lot. After our last house I said I would never live on a corner again. That is a lot of sidewalk to shovel. Now I do hers every time it snow grumbling about the corner lot, but if it was my mom I would hope someone would shovel hers. Interesting that all the households that have teenage boys in the neighborhood never have shoveled driveways.
