How much snow is too much snow?
Asked at Speedway Shell, 1733 Mass. St. on December 8, 2009
“If I have to shovel it, it’s too much.”
“10 feet is too much, I’m from Oregon.”
“No snow at all is too much snow.”
“If it’s going to be cold, there’s not too much snow. You got to have the snow with the cold.”

There is no thing as too much snow. As long as it doesn't close the slopes due to avalanche conditions and the snow cats have time to groom it overnight, the more the merrier.

If the snow is deep enough to hide a delicious buttery biscuit, well, that's too deep.

Too much snow???
I guess when its May... and it dumps, then you might say it's too much.

as an old girlfriend of mine used to say, 10 inches is just too much. snow that is.

I thought she had forgotten all about the man, but, did remember that time her sister wiped a booger on her as a kid and several other mean things growing up. She snapped. Had enough, and then there was a baseball bat laying right there handy, so she had no choice but to hit a home run using her sister's head as the ball.

Grab a 24" push broom and start pushing the snow away before it becomes too much whatever that is....
Pushing with a broom is much easier than digging with a shovel it seems...... unless that is an illusion.
Plan ahead:

snow is pretty to look at. in a picture. not while i'm wading thru it, shoveling it or scraping it off of my car.
i think we got about 3 inches overnight here in salina and its still coming down.

It has snowed enough when they cancel school.

spacehog, That's no diagnostic question, that's just a really old joke. I think the first time I heard it was a rerun of an old black & white movie. Give these guys a chance to Google it and their on it.

When I was a kid my family told me that snow was Satan spewing saliva over the land because he was mad that so many people were rejecting him and going to church. We used to have this big 8' x 5' painting over our couch that depicted Satan looking down on a snow-covered city scene with a burst of snow spewing from his smiling, foaming, mouth. Therefore, though the nightmares stopped years ago, I still get a little uncomfortable everytime it snows and I think of that painting and how this cold, white madness will never stop as long as people continue to go to church.

That's a great story Py! Just once I'd like my boys to experience a real big snow like I remember growing up.
1029.....I didn't know whether to laugh or be very disturbed by that story.

1029, thank you again for helping me test my hypothesis on how bizarre you have to get on the internet before no one thinks that you're being serious. Not so much here, too much evident suspicion, but the other thread is gold.
Stuart Evans 5 years, 1 month ago
1029, that story makes me cry. Mostly because it's so danged real. There are actually people out there that believe that type of nonsense. I mean, come on. isn't satan the guy with the big firepit and such? where did he suddenly get ice cold lungs?

Don't look 1029!!!!

Spacehog, KKFI is not a country music station. It's easily the best station in this area, with the best variey of music available. While it's not for everyone, it's an excellent alternative to commercial radio.
