  ME the Prophet of SNOW I could feel it in my bones. Like a hound on a hot trail I knew it would snow. Snow it did with the 1st Dec. 1st snow since 1990 (big snow that is).

  30/30 Thuddy Did you ever notice how sounds get muffled when it's cold. 30 skiers did 30 reps (30/30) (sounds like thuddy) in the cold [17 degrees], calm air.
