View Full Version : Get your touques ready
whistledog 11-08-04, 06:35 PM Has it started to snow in your area?
There has been snow here in the past few weeks but today enough snow fell to turn my lawn white :eek:
I am glad the snow is finally here.. but I don't like how cold it is :(
resinchaser 11-08-04, 06:44 PM Was a beautiful sunny day today, but the temperature was below zero.
I got a few funny looks when I went out in my shorts. They have all of the outdoor hockey rinks set up, and we'll probably be out on the ice within a month :bouncy: :thumb:

AngelicR 11-08-04, 07:05 PM We've had snow periodically for the past three weeks. Although, so far this week has been clear skies, but that doesn't say much, as it is only Monday. Giggles.
There is snow in the higher country, for example: Aspen, Breckenridge, Vail, etc. however, here in Denver currently there is no snow on the ground. The week before last when I attempted to vote in the early elections there was snow on the ground, in fact, we had had 6 inches of snow the day before. ;)

Ok, thanks! Actually a meteorololologist over here has predicted that we will have one of the coldest winters on record, they're saying he could be correct as he predicted we would have a pony summer! Cheese and rice! This is England! Four out of five of our summers are crap! It was probably Michael Fish! (that will be a VERY funny joke if you're English, but not so if you aren't). :thumb:
Thanks Whistle! Can i have NA06545 in Red please?

PunkyPower 11-08-04, 07:16 PM Why can't you guys just say "hat" like the rest of the world? :lol: I thought it said "tongues" too. :laugh:

Rhelawen 11-08-04, 07:22 PM No snow here yet, but it's a-comin'! :scared: Temps hovered around 1C today. Brrrr! :vibrator:

A Touque (or Toque) is a French word meaning brimless hat. It is also defined as a tall white chef's hat :lol:

I've been sitting here for a half hour with my tongue ready. So far nothing. :( Jason just likes to tease us.
Caligula 11-08-04, 08:06 PM it snowed last week, just enough to cover the ground then it rained, and today it snowed but just enough to cover the ground . A couple hours north of me and they have had a couple real snowfalls
No snow here yet....But soon I guess :(

If you can find a 4th, you could start a 'KISS' cover band :lol:
No snow here it was 69 today. I am not looking forward to the snow :(
We're in for a freeze warning tonight. It's supposed to be in the 20s. No snow though...not yet anyway.
It was 70 degrees here yesterday. This is sooo weird!

Come shovel the snow away from my car this winter and see how much you miss it then. :lol: It can snow for Xmas and that's it. I hate driving in that crap.
But at least they keep the roads clean right? Here they wont clean the roads for days since it doesn't snow much here.. it sucks!!
PunkyPower 11-08-04, 11:23 PM But at least they keep the roads clean right? Here they wont clean the roads for days since it doesn't snow much here.. it sucks!!
They keep certain roads kind of clean, but last year it took me over 3 hours to drive 27 miles because it was snowing and the salt trucks were sliding off the road.
I don't think I'll see any snow this winter.
:( I miss Michigan so much
Michigan? I thought you lived in Kentucky...before moving to Tennessee.
No snow here (probably ever), but we do get some nice sand storms...
I miss snow... :(

I could, but it just isn't the same as waking up and seeing it outside of your window. :)
AngelicR 11-09-04, 04:37 PM I could, but it just isn't the same as waking up and seeing it outside of your window. :)
I know what you mean. Well, if you are ever planning on being in Colorado, let me know. I love showing friends around. This state is absolutely beautiful and if you love snow, I highly recommend it. Smiles.
DC Rebel 11-09-04, 05:20 PM Okay, bring on the snow. Then, I can play some snow tackle football. It is supposed to snow here later this week. I so can not wait.

SouthernImage 11-09-04, 10:47 PM I'm in the brown patch on the California part. No snow for me.
TeachX3 11-09-04, 11:11 PM Ohhhhhhhhh........
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!
She lived in Michigan for awhile.
Oh.
I've never lived in Michigan. But I may have a long-lost family member or two living in the Detroit area.
I can't wait for the first snow fall here. I get just as excited now as I did when I was a kid.
Not Man 11-10-04, 08:07 PM It has snowed here a couple of days this week quite heavily (God I hate lake effect snow), but has melted away. The air temperature is what is more shocking than anything it has been in the mid to high teens the past few mornings.
Come shovel the snow away from my car this winter and see how much you miss it then. :lol: It can snow for Xmas and that's it. I hate driving in that crap.
EXACTLY!! Last winter we got approx. 200 inches......yes you read that right. I swear if I had the money and a guaranteed job I would be out of here. :lol:
gazza67 11-10-04, 08:11 PM This is my touque!!! It's a bloody woolly hat!!!! Not a touque!
