I already saw some wet snow earlier this week during my driving lessons, but none of it would stick around. Did I mention that my driving instructor likes rall driving and that last week we went cruising the touristic route? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 9:53 am WillBrayJr Member Joined: 03 Jun 2010 Posts: 88 Location: Auburn, IN The nasty white stuff will be here shortly too.   Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 10:19 am 720fly Veteran Member Joined: 17 Oct 2010 Posts: 150 Location: a top of the Mountain of dreams Ha Ha up here in the middle of the rockies we have close to 3 feet of snow, Today it's -20 degree's and I'm still outside shooting, in and out style Ullr is the god of snow and only blesses the righteous, so....   Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 6:38 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands It's here, in gentle amounts.

It came and then never went away: Ullr has apparently been busy all over the world: In chapter 31 of the first part of Snorri Sturluson's 13th century Prose Edda (the Gylfaginning) Ullr is described as the "snow runner." Son of Sif and stepson of Thor. In the second part (the Skáldskaparmál) he's called the snow god. Here in Minnesota we worship the snow god Toro, whose throne is on Mt. Minneapolus: While Ullr casts his snow blessings on the virtuous, Toro flings snow on the neighbors, virtuous or not. Many Minnesota garages have shrines to Toro and his companion the arctic cat (whose lair is in Thief River Falls). The cat's name in old Norse translates as "swift running between ale houses." Here we see a Scandinavian type paying homage to the cat: _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 10:17 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia We got about 1/32" of snow yesterday morning.

(and cold) I was probably cold too. Maybe they are gonna have the "eleven cities" ice marathon this year. Last one was in '97, what a winter that was. Longest ice skating marathon on natural ice in the world, I think, over almost 200 kilometers. Only the US or Canada (or BOTH) "could" top that but I don't know if they should. Landmass wise you colonials could easily do it but that's kinda cheating. _________________ BIG GAP First Snow     Air Gun Home Forum Index » The BS Topic You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
