So we just use the numbers now.

Got ten inches of damned 27 snow last night but today the sun's out so we've got a whole lotta fuckin' 41 snow.

It's easier that way.

it is prettier and drier than rain.

I hate rain, but it is fun to watch sometimes too, when one is safely dry.

late 80s early 90s, you could walk out on the sand for days till you reached the water, the Lake was so low. But at least Tahoe is so big it will never run dry! I know we need the water, but I am actually really enjoying our milder winters the past couple years!
Can't WAIT till summer!!!
