Fjord Moose: Hands Across The Snow - Help Mrs Thing Project

This past summer Mrs Thing made us aware of Hands Across the Oil, or Hands Across the Sand, something like that. Right now, Mrs Thing has been in a blizzard with all the rest of the Things. We have to help them! They can't even find each other in their own house because of the snow and the mail isn't getting through. Schools are closed. Plows are defeated. We must band together now, Cheeselettes, and form a human chain of frozen hands across the snow. With Hands Across the Snow we can deliver Mrs Thing's mail, hand to hand, directly from the post office to her mailbox. During Hands Across the Snow we can hand Miss Thing over to the school, and the rest of the children in the neighborhood as well. They will be ever grateful. Our Hands Across the Snow needs money. I'll let you know soon, but right now, we just need your hands. We need you to be there with your hands outstretched to the hands of another and together we can beat this snow! We will also use our hands to lift Mrs Thing's spirits, and to pour her some spirits. Now who's gonna help me get up there to the North?

Thank you, Fanny and Possum.

We're expecting up to another foot of snow this Wednesday, at which point the flat snow will be nearly over Possum's head, and the embankments will be nearing 10 feet.

Dress warmly! LOLOLOLOL!

*cough*

I'm breathing snow

I seem to remember a call from Ms. Thing's general direction REQUESTING these snow days so Miss Thing's school schedule would have enough snow days in it to allow her to go to England to see the JC review... she did not think it could be done...

Are we second guessing the power of the INTERNET and the Cheesey forum to grant our every wish and desire??

Hmmmmmmmmmm???



Possum - here's my battery powered hair dryer, point it at the snow drift and melt your way to safety!

Just pucker your lips and blow...

Or, you can borrow my curling iron...

Lynthingy's curling iron

Thank you Lyn *gasp for air*

That curling iron looks like something that dropped out of a spaceship's engine.

50 miles south of Boston is about where my grandmother used to live. Oh, such memories! She had a tiny pink cottage with blood-red roses all over the roof, from a vine she used to cut back to a nubbin every 2 or 3 years. She raised lots of vegetables and canned them and gave us some. There was a tiny amusement park just a short walk from her house. It was called Jolly Cholly's. If I remember right, it had small train for small children, a carousel, and something called The Himalaya--a circular wooden structure with cars that ran up hill and down on rails, like a cross between a really wimpy roller coaster and a carousel. Made the most godawful rattling noises. It also ran backwards! There must have been other rides there, but I've forgotten what they were now. Of course, it was mown down years ago. I don't know what's there now--stores, probably--it was right next to the highway in a commercial district.

I don't live anywhere near Boston now. I'm 150 miles southwest of Boston.

She could probably slide all the way to my house.

You push it through the snow and the Margarita mix goes into the snow and everybody fills their cups with the Margarita slush that's left behind, oh! Strawberry Diaquiri! Anyway, it's free and easy way to get your driveway cleared at least. People fill up with your alcoholic slush. Snowcohol.

I think the margharita plow has potential. The salt will keep the ice down and the whole neighborhood will be there to help!

Naughty and bunny, I wore my mink coat today...sure was warm! Just think, they died and lefr me everything!

I can probably find some spare size 8-8.5s (women's size). How many are there? Are they drunk enough to leave toe jam all over the floor?

Weather today: rain and 40. Icicles are falling off the roof--we had so many, and they're almost gone now. Sunday and Monday are supposed to be sunny and above freezing. I'll have to get out my shovel and get at the huge mound in front of the mailbox, which the mailman, God bless him, has been climbing all week in order to deliver our mail.

Snow expected Tuesday, possible storm for Thursday.

Sorry about the ice storm, Fanny. We've had them like that up here, but very rarely.

I'd love to keep the snow up here! We've missed the last couple of storms and just got some light rain. Now it's unseasonably warm and the snow is melting fast. I even have the windows cracked open to let in some fresh air. I hope we get another blizzard this Thursday!

We have snow cones down here, we do! I have some snow jammies, too.
I am am worried about the Foote Parade!

"Thunder snow" is when there's thunder and/or lightning with the snowstorm. It doesn't happen often, but it is very cool, especially when there's lightning, too. Flashing sparkles all over the place for a few split seconds.

We didn't have any thunder snow here in CT. And now it looks like winter is probably over. No more snow predicted; temps in the upper 30s to upper 40s (about 3C to 9C), plenty of sun. But there's still over a foot of snow in my back yard (I measured), and it's hard enough for all 200+ pounds of me (with my clothes and boots on) to walk on top of.

We got about an inch of snow today. It looks great!
