Snow melt contest 2016!

[Gelcoater]

Oh, it's going now!!! Geez it is MAY!!!

I took a drive up past Bakersfield and Visalia this weekend and looking east there is tons and tons of snow in the Sierra Nevadas.
I bet it's at least late May before it's gone.

for NO MORE SNOW!!!

I was surprised there were still some pretty big banks in town by our fleet store last weekend. They had tunnels going through them so they looked like caves. I should swing by to see if they're still there today and take a pic.

Some of it is still there today, even though it's about half of what it was on Saturday.

@JanS I saw this quote in a blog by Minnesotans this morning and thought of you. Is there going to be a contest this year or has it melted already?

"Being back in Minnesota in the winter has reminded me of a unique Minnesota expression of resilience and optimism. When you make plans to go out for the evening with a Minnesotan, by God, you’re going! There can be a whiteout blizzard, you cannot see your hand in front of your face, and you call your friend to say “Do you think we should maybe, possibly rethink this outing?,” and a true Minnesotan will say, “I think it’s letting up.”

No. It isn’t. But you are not going to be able to wuss out without severe loss of face. Latin men may have reputations for machismo, but they have nothing on Minnesotans of any ethnicity in the winter, trust me, and that includes their womenfolk."

LOL, it hasn't started melting yet so who knows when I'll be able to start it. This was it as of yesterday.

Haha, that sounds pretty accurate.
