    Help! I've Got This White Stuff All Over My Yard That Keep Falling From The Sky!

    This substance has been falling from the sky for 3-4 hours and is getting stuck on my roof, trees, ground, stairs and everything else.

    Looks sort of like the substance that they make Old Fashion New Orleans Style Snow-Balls out of, but lacks any pretty colors so I dare not taste any of it.

    Saw some that was yellow after I walked my dogs, but I left it alone remembering something about Husky's that Frank Zappa sang about in my youth.

    I don't have a Husky, only a Chocolate Lab and a Rott-Coon Hound Mixer, so it can't be snow, can it?

    Help Gents, I'm from the Deep South and need your help.

    Sounds like nuclear fallout. I suggest staying inside and working on that strange-engined car of yours :P

    What you need is a good Chevy V8 snow blower.

    Yeah, we have that happen at certain times of the year too. It'll even pile up to be a foot high or more and stay around for weeks. After a while it gets to where ya' just can't stand it anymore and the best therapy is to pull the car outside and listen to it run while dreaming about Spring...

    Wow Steve, you beat us to it. All my snow removal equipment is serviced and staged. I have a half-mile of cinder trail to clear until I get to a county road that gets plowed occasionally. But it looks like winter will be late this year.

    Chris, I love that V-8 powered snow blower -- sure beats my Ariens. Could sure use one of those as once we get a couple of feet of the wet sticky stuff the Ariens is about worthless.

    Jeff,

    You need to change the therapy to drive in it. Not by choice, but definitely got looks. http://www.weendoggy.com/utah13/utah13.htm (first two pics on Carson Pass). Yeah, it was cold.

    Steve.. we spent Thursday evening in Nola.. Friday morning we wake up to pictures from friends with this strange substance everywhere! We braved the drive home yesterday with most of hwy 90 shut down and passed through the Houma area and it was awesome to see. Us cajuns don’t know what to do with snow! My kids had a blast!

    Wow, gotta say I'm surprise -- look at all that snow. But I've never been to your beautiful state and only seen pictures (none of which had snow). I guess it's like most people think all of Arizona is a big desert full of saguaro cactus but here in Flagstaff we get more snow than Anchorage does and we're in the middle of the world's largest Ponderosa Pine forest. Guess I have to travel more.
