Arthur -

I've gone out a couple of times, checking out on the driveway. We're literally grounded here: there's a 1 meter plus snow wall in front of the drive and a wall that high in the backyard.

We've got plenty of snow, so anyone interested in a cubic meter of snow (~ 1000 liters of water!), please mail me. All requests and e-mails will be handled confidentially. Please forward requests in metric system. Thanks.

Sincerely,

~ 1000 liters of water!),

This isn't true, so allow me to rectify. If I'm not wrong, snow consists of 5% water and the rest of it is air. So there's only about (and around) 50 liter water in 1 cubic meter of snow...

Hey, we had snow here too! A few centimeters. It's about +4 degrees Celsius and our national weather forecast institute talks about "Really nice winter weather".
How about that?

I have always liked the sound of the Dutch word "Weersverwachtingen" - weather forecasting.

Well, the chance of having an Elfstedentocht, is ofcourse zilch.

Hey - can I out your address?

I bet that you'll be probably one number close. Nah.

Re: the snow: I'm finally done. I had a little help for the last 1-2 meters (length: 1-2 meters, 50cm heigh, 2 meters width) but most of it was done by using pure muscle power and my faithful blue shovel. Surely a feat that's going to be celebrated over the course of the day. I'm going to claim the couch before the dog claims it. Have a great afternoon!

Fair enough - suffice it to say that I lived from 1978 to 1984 in the manse behind St. David's United. You figure out if I am figuring out right.
