ABZ Highlander Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE (CanEHdian @ Nov 24 2005, 07:33 PM) Here is a good little Reminder from Frank Zappa for the winter time DO NOT EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW Dreamed I was an Eskimo Frozen wind began to blow Under my boots and around my toes The frost that bit the ground below It was a hundred degrees below zero... And my mama cried And my mama cried Nanook, a-no-no Nanook, a-no-no Don't be a naughty Eskimo Save your money, don't go to the show Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho" And the northern lights commenced to glow And she said, with a tear in her eye "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow" A lesson to us all there! Brilliant song too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladirushfan80 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 OH CRAP!!!!!!!!! BISMARCK, N.D. - The snowstorm that brought blizzard-like conditions and knocked out power to thousands across the Plains is heading toward the Great Lakes region. The storm dumped snow from North Dakota to the Texas Panhandle, closing hundreds of miles of highways and piling up drifts 6 feet high. Five deaths were blamed on slippery roads in Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. A sixth person was killed when a tornado hurled a car in Arkansas. Travelers trying to get home after Thanksgiving were stranded in hotels across the Plains, but those who made it back safely weren't necessarily hunkered down at home. Wind, snow and ice snapped electrical lines and knocked out power to much of the eastern parts of the Dakotas. Electricity wasn't expected to be restored for some areas until at least Tuesday, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds said. Some residents were using backup generators to heat frigid, darkened homes. "For a lot of people in eastern South Dakota, this is going to be one of those days where it's going to be very, very, cold before the heat gets turned back on," Rounds said. More than 400 miles of eastbound Interstate 70 was closed, from Denver to Salina, Kan., with no word on when it might reopen. Westbound lanes were open in some areas. "We're just waiting," said Corey Dagner, who was stuck in Limon, Colo., on his way home to Illinois after attending a wedding at the Breckenridge ski resort. "Nobody's sure what's going on and what time they're going to open the interstate." The Colorado portion of I-70 was dry Monday, but the highway was impassable in western and central Kansas because visibility was nearly zero. Colorado halted eastbound traffic because there are so few places to stop and wait on the state's sparsely populated eastern plains. Even though the blizzard warning for northwest and north-central Kansas expired Monday afternoon, shelters remained open in anticipation of more stranded travelers. "You can't even see," said Bill Kanitig of the Sherman County, Kan., sheriff's office. "The highway is snowpacked, and it's slick and everybody's sliding off." Numerous other highways also were closed across the Plains, including a 250-mile stretch of I-90 across South Dakota, and a 60-mile stretch of I-80 in Nebraska. "This is probably the worst storm I've ever encountered," Terri Gosney said by telephone from a truck stop alongside I-90 in Mitchell, S.D., as she waited to resume her trip home to Minong, Wis. "I'm pretty hardy. I can drive in the winter, you know, being from Wisconsin." Wind, snow and ice in the Dakotas snapped electrical lines _ coating some cables with ice a few inches thick _ and knocked out power to much of the eastern parts of the states. Electricity wasn't expected to be restored for some areas until at least Tuesday, the governor said. In Fairmount, N.D., electricians attempted to hook up generators to the town's water system on Monday afternoon. "There is no power to the well system," said Fairmount Fire Chief Dave Jacobson. "We still have water but it's getting pretty low here." Minnesota officials warned against driving in the state's rural northwest corner, and said anyone who did better have emergency supplies. "If you go off the road, it could be a while," Department of Public Safety spokesman Kevin Smith said. The same storm whipped up tornadoes that destroyed at least eight homes in Arkansas on Sunday and damaged more than 30 homes at Fort Riley, Kan. The storm was retaining most of its clout as it headed toward the Great Lakes, said National Weather Service meteorologist Fred Stasser of Goodland, Kan. "I would imagine they're going to get some of the same sort of deal," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
