It seems that somehow we have been slowly conditioned to think that snow is bad, why? Because the industrial machine of capitalism requires that we function for the sake of profit without impediment of any kind, whether your life partner or a child dies or a snowstorm (mother nature) causes you to take your focus from the indentured servitude you have sold yourself into... it's just the worst thing in the world and something must be done about it.

Our systematic removal of the significance of natural processes is our undoing as a society and as a species. Ever notice how we strive to outsmart, overwhelm and control all of the natural world? It's entirely due to the corporate machine that has us by the nose and the shorthairs and anything that gets in its way is to be dealt with harshly and mercilessly. So, even though it has been snowing in winter for eons, it's suddenly untenable on all levels.

If we didn't have everyone totally dependent upon the power grid, as in a system of point source power generation, it really wouldn't be such a problem in the realm of power failures/outages and such... but we all have to be set up so that a constant pattern of vulnerability is ever present to keep anyone from going beyond the servant mode, thus reinforcing the notion that stormy weather is bad.

Snow is good, it is water that the plants and soils need to keep the biospheric surroundings livable on a survivability level for all species.

helps the earth and all that.

I'd rather have snow than rain in winter since the water has no place to go on frozen ground.

the 3-7 forecast. We need it.

I'm ready.

I'll gladly leave this to the Kansas and Missouri people who desperately need the moisture. We're good here.

on edit, looks like we'll get a miss from this one or maybe a bit of rain and wind.

just got a dusting, so maybe it won't be as bad as they say.

have a water deficit so this snow is welcomed in Minnesnowta.

April 5, 1982. A foot of snow fell on Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Traffic was generally paralyzed.

or significant amount of snow, the very latest I remember a snow falling was May 9, 1977.

The reason I remember it is because two days before I was sweating my ass off in my wedding dress.

Ah...gotta love New England.

nws says we're only going to get about an inch of accumulation, but i hope the mountains are getting hit hard. we can't have another summer like last.

Gotta say, that makes me happy. Have had enough snow for a while.
