Wouldn't it be nice!

Ruth, can you lend him a sleigh or a surfboard in lieu?

Just a few more inches, and I'd be able to walk through it with my eyes out.

Plus you can kill yourself. Don't do it don't and do not try it.
It has to give up soon! Doesn't it? I feel for you all, (not you, Ruth, or Carol, probably both getting around in your swimmers, you cougars!)
NE, What happens if the electricity fails, do you have stocks of firewood and a fireplace to burn it?
Apart from the Snowy Mountains in the south of NSW and just over the border of Victoria, and a few spits in some of the high country, most of our snow is made and not bestowed very often, last year was an exception, I will say.
I put Clive James' poem "Japanese Maple" in the Favourite poetry section. He got better at it as he aged. Now, just as he is at the end of his life, his works are better than ever. It was in the New Yorker issued on Sept 15, 2014.
Vey beautiful.

Also had to give up feeding birds for the same reason -- mouse bait. And I so want to put in a garden but I haven't figured out a defense against the massive chipmunk colony in these parts. The last time I did a garden, they ate it to the nub, the little bastards. Rodents, I say! Rodents!
Tonight's "Welcome, March" forecast: 3-6 inches of fresh (you expected "well-behaved"?) snow.
The joke is that Boston is getting Anchorage, Alaska's, winter. Apparently they scored less than 1 inch in February. Boston? Enough snowfall in February to cover an NBA basketball player. Read all about it:

Dogs and a sled are good in deep snow. We are in humid Tampa, FL. Plenty of rain yesterday and enough humidity for a jungle. Came down to fetch a relative back to Colorado.
My sister on Mt. Desert Island in Maine couldn't see out the back door.

Agree! But summer can be divine in those places. Driving is another matter.
Rodents, mountain lions and snakes, oh my.
Mod
No No, all that sand and seaweed up your shorts, not your thing at all, old boy!
