Yep, still lots of snow.
« on: March 09, 2011, 07:33:59 PM »
I was up in NH last weekend with Sparky, and thought I'd post some of the pics I took.  Springtime my ass, there's still a LOT of snow up there.


Sparky and Laddie


Sparky's house


The retaining wall (or natural waterfall, depending on the temp.)

You'll be happy to know a good chunk of it melted over the past week.  Rain and 50-degree temps will do that.  However, the pile that Laddie was standing on will not be totally gone until, oh, sometime in April.

Are you talking about the blinds?  I have screens on the windows and the back sliding glass door, no sunscreens to speak of.

Nope, it looked like you have really dark screens on your windows, but it could just be the light, and everything looking darker because of the snow in comparison.

Well, the blinds are pretty dark wood, and they're not neutral to the street, which would give the impression of darker windows/screens.

Don't let him fool you Tots...it's not because of dark screens, lack of light, OR the wood blinds, he just never cleans his windows.  :lmao:


Good thing he'll have me there to do that for him soon, though, huh.

Pretty home, Sparky!

For some reason, some time back, I thought you had been complaining about having an old house, that you didn't like.  :confused:

Scoobie....come visit in The Spa, and do a little "dishing" about cleaning windows....inquiring minds, ya know.  :-)

That may have been me who said that...I do live in an old house. For now. Me and the kids will be moving up with Sparky in June.

I'm not a fan of poodles, whether toy or standard, but they are exceptionally smart dogs.

Back to the snow, I guess.......

Even with the rain and warmer temps, that pile isn't going away anytime soon.  That will be the last bit to disappear.

I'll venture a guess here and say April 18th will be the day there's no more snow in the yard.

 I spent the summer between soph and junior year of college in Maine. Went the second week of June. I swear, they said the snow had only been gone a little over a month, and that the ice had finally completely melted off the lake, only a few weeks before.

Since I was a swim instructor....I would swear it melted only a few days before I got there!!! Damn lake never did warm up the entire summer.  :banghead:

Yeah, when Scoobie and the kids get up here, they're going to be expecting those warm Gulf waters, or the shallow stuff like they find in Cape Charles...

Not gonna happen...
