Winter has arrived here in the high desert. Last Sunday we got an inch of snow and Wednesday we got another six inches. In some places that’s not much snow, but here it can paralyze the whole city. Luckily for me, my next door neighbour and was looking for places to test it out. He tested it on my driveway and it works just fine. Here a bunch of other stuff I know about winter snow:
I looked out my window and said, “Looks icy out there. Want to go for a spin?”
I knew it was going to snow last night. Yup, I saw it on the winternet.
Did you know that the snowman has parents? Yes, he had a mom and popsicle.
Name a ball that doesn’t bounce? A snowball.
What do you call a penguin in the desert? Lost.
Do you know what we call a snowman in July? Water.
You can prevent a summer cold by catching it in the winter.
Why do they put scarves on snowmen? Are they trying to keep them warm?
I wrote a joke about snow, but it’s a bit flaky.
I went and bought a snow shovel at the hardware store but on the way home I had the heater on in the car and the shovel melted.
Where do you get money in the winter? From a snowbank.
Try this: Put your radio out in the snow … you’ll get cool music.
There’s a lot of worried snowmen around here. They’ve been listening to news reports about global warming.
I defeated a snow monster the other day by just talking to it. Yes, I started a heated argument …
Andrew's View of the Week 
HI Andrew, a fun post. There was no comments section on your next post and I wanted to say that your Bible study classes sound interesting. I’ve done some reading on the Islamic faith and I learned a lot of new information. WRT to diet, I wonder about vegetarian and particularly vegan diets. Giraffes chew bones to get certain minerals so they are not strictly vegetarian. Lions eat grass to aid their digestion. So, there are no strict carnivores and vegetarians in the wild.

So far we’ve done Islam, judaism, Buddhism, and now Hinduism. We’ve learned a lot. vegan diets have there good points, but I dislike anything that’s extreme. I do think we’d all benefit from less meat and more veggies in our diets. Not sure what happened with the comment sections, seems to be working again.

That is a good spectrum to study. Every now and then, WP gives me an issue with commenting.

We wanted to compare all the world’s major religions with an eye towards seeing what these all have in common. yeah, WP does odd things from time to time.

I didn’t think your area got that much snow but like our former neighborhood in Colorado, you are obviously in the “high desert”. As for the puns, “… go for a spin” (groan) – the first on the list and my favorite!

We got maybe 5 inches, but given that the city only has few snowplows, it took a long time to clear the roads.

Plenty of good jokes, but the one about “a heated argument” is the most subtle!

“A heated argument” – hahaha! Thanks for the winter jokes – it seems we’re all in the deep freeze this week. A bit of laughter might warm us up. 🙂

Okay, I’m a weirdo, but I love snow. We just haven’t been getting enough of it. It snowed maybe a couple of inches then rained. No snow anymore. 😦 Send some my way?

I’d love snow more if it wasn’t cold. Wet I can deal with, cold is more that I want.

Perfect for central Iowa, which is closed today because of more snow and wind this week. (The poor presidential candidates who are already here for next week’s caucus.)

We just got our first big dump of snow (10 cm) and now the cold is coming in (-25 C). Yay?
I don’t mind winter. Lots of stuff to do that you can’t do in summer. I wrote a winter poem last year: http://linesbyleon.com/2024/01/11/thursday-thoughts-winter/
