Snow Quotations | Page 6

This is a perfect storm of relief obstructions. You have landslides, snow and no roads to reach the people way up in the mountains.

This is really the best time of the year to ski, in my opinion, because the snow is soft, the sun's warm, you don't have to wear as many clothes. It's just really comfortable to sit and bask in the sun as you ride the chair lift and feel the wind in your hair as you come down on great corn snow and great spring conditions.

This is really good snow on a very firm base. We got all that rain mixed with the snow, and that made our base very solid. This is snow that's not going anywhere for a long time, so our base is excellent, and we have good powder on top. That's why the skiing is just great.

This is the deepest snow we've had in a long time. I never thought we'd get this much.

The weather was very weird. It was really warm when we got there, but it made the snow soft and sticky. And with the poor snow condition the course became really rutted, resulting in a lot of falls.

The weather report last night said that the snow was going to be south of us.

The upcoming week will be fairly nice, ... The places with a lot of snow on the ground will have cold nights, but days will be nice.

This course didn't look very difficult for me. There were tracks in the snow that looked good for me to follow when I was attacking the gates.

This all came from the time in the '70s when it actually snowed in Los Angeles. I figured, you know what? If it can snow in Los Angeles, anything is possible. Maybe there's actually hope for us.

Think of snow like a deep, cold sponge. It can hold quite a bit of water in it.

This has been a very dry winter. Normally we'd see snow melting from the hills and running into the streams.

A lot of aspects contributed to the postponement, including the heavy snow fall. It was difficult to see and that would make it difficult to get an accurate speed off the jump.

Although Jackson Hole is renowned for both steep and deep, it also has plenty of terrain for the entire family. No crowds (the mountain records only 300,000 to 400,000 skier visits each season), big mountain, epic snow and no major city within 4 hours are a few of the subtle differences that let you know you've stepped out of Colorado.

A lot of people in Detroit are waiting for it to snow so they can show us that they really are ready.

They picked up a trail from him walking and that's what got them onto him. They backtracked on the trail a little and actually saw the snow cave that he had been in.

They offered us Tommy Lee , they didn't offer us Snow White. ... Tommy Lee Goes to College.

They offered us Tommy Lee, they didn't offer us Snow White,

They move up in elevation until reaching that special number - 32 degrees. But to get snow this low, cold air has to already be in place, and you can't get cold air over the ocean.

They drove through rain and snow and slides and everything to be here. And we were trying to get them to take at least one day off. If only we could got them to take Sundays off.

They expect significant freezing rain on Wednesday, with the potential for some snow and sleet mixed into it.

This (ORV use) has become a problem over the last decade or two. Most Forest Service plans were made 15 years ago when four-wheelers and ATVs were virtually nonexistent. Not many were used and snow machines were relegated to groomed trails.

This morning 40,000 of them turned up missing. Reports indicate that the birds have abandoned their wintering grounds in Delaware and that snow geese are showing up in New York. It is unclear whether the birds that stopped here briefly and then left recently still are somewhere at this same latitude or if they have pushed north. It would be somewhat early for large numbers of snows to be north of us but the movements of these birds is hard to predict. As soon as conditions permit they will usually try to push north, but if they encounter much snow or ice they will again retreat southward.

There was a strong gust of wind that suddenly blew into me and I lost my line. The snow was blowing so hard. It's disappointing, because apart from that, everything was going well. I was on my way to the victory.

There was a tremendous amount of snow on the ground, averaging more than two to three feet across much of Pennsylvania.

There will be continued risk of landslides as the snow starts to melt in the spring and even more so later in the year when the monsoon season sets in.

There were some flurries and snow showers over (Tuesday) night. Then the system became more organized and the right conditions occurred that led to a heavier snow event.

The repair crews had an added obstacle, and the new snow also caused problems for the National Guard as they tried to bring in generators, food and bottled water.

There's $210,000 with the state, plus what we're doing as big snow country and what we're doing as individuals. We've got close to $1 million in marketing. Working together, too, is something that is showing. People are happy with that interchangeable ticket. It's a good marketing tool.

This loss will be easily made up, ... If I want to buy some jewelry for my wife, do you think I'm going to let one snow storm stop me? No, I won't. Consumers will get their shopping done this week and in the days leading up to Christmas.

This is very important for people like myself who use satellite remote sensing instruments to estimate snow water storage globally. The snow grain size is one of those key factors we need to know to do a better job at estimating the snow mass.

This kind of spring-like conditions are great for learning, because the snow is softer and slower.

This is winter and we live in Minnesota, but even if we have good snow plowing here that they don't have in Missouri or some other state, there's still an issue of getting roads clean so that buses and other people who are out taking their kids to school can be safe.

This is a very typical start to a season. It's just very early. Generally it starts about a month later. People are used to burning, and they see a little bit of snow in the woods. They don't realize the grass is all dead and dry.

They're calling for the heaviest snows to fall overnight. But the real battle may be these high winds tomorrow blowing snow back across the roads and creating drifts.

They're all strong storms bringing significant rains and snow at the higher elevations, maybe a couple of feet.

There was a lot of snow at lower elevations and it became warm and melted the snow and then it rained. This is just the opposite. It is snowing at higher elevations and raining at lower elevations. It is less prone to flooding, but we are definitely keeping an eye on it.

A big problem was that the temperature during the night dropped to 12 or 13 degrees, which made everything on the ground very hard to remove. We made it as good as possible. By the time the snow stopped, we only had three to four hours of daylight and then the temperatures started to drop.

The most enjoyable thing for me is having the feeling of being in pure nature where you're there and usually alone. It's like you're the first one to ever be there. Everything is perfectly pristine and very quiet -- snow dampens all the sound.

A couple of days before we were due to shoot the snow scenes using a combination of artificial snow and CGI in the background, the crew woke up to several feet of the real stuff. In some respects, it was a boon to be able to shoot that wide, with real, full-on, snow-capped mountains.

It's kind of a more exciting experience with about a foot or more of snow around the springs.

It's just been around the clock because we work two shifts and we don't stop. Somebody is on their job all the time, twenty-four hours a day if there is snow on the ground.

It's even exhausting for me to think about remixes because there were so many Miike Snow remixes.

It's asking for trouble. It's trying to make the highest mark and be king of the hill. When you go up, you disturb the surface of the snow and that can make the whole slide come down.

It was better than I thought it would be with all the snow we've had. The cold temperatures help firm things up.

It was the best full-full she has ever done. For a person whose been back jumping on snow for less than a week it was extraordinary.

It was a warm month, no snow storms or anything like that. In fact, we might see some give-back in February because we already see the first chain store sales for the week ending Saturday were down because of the snow storm.

It will be a marathon sprint throughout the winter where we have to do lifesaving assistance until the snow melts sometime in April.

It's a weird spot for a slide. I think it just has to do with how this storm hit and the way the snow packed.

It's a way to appease my snow god. Every time I did them, it would snow for a week straight afterwards. It still does, so apparently the snow god likes them.

It is quite a storm. And it's still going on. In some areas we're seeing snow fall at a rate of 10 inches in two hours.

It's a different kind of beauty. It's nice to go after it snows and you can see the snow on the trees. It's very quiet.

It's a really good deal and Alpine Meadows is a good resort, and they'll have snow all the way.

It's a great time to get yourself out of the house and a nice time to see the park blanketed in snow or just in a different season. It gives you a chance to be outdoors again.

It's a great surface. Whether there's snow on it or not, it's not a big issue.

It's a little hard to fake snow in October, ... but it is great exposure for the University.

It's a little bit of a surprise, winter storms have been warmer than normal, and the snow line has been at higher elevations than average.

It's a light snow that gets into the equipment.

It's all about how the storms stack up. We have heavy snow years and light snow years. It's not indicative of any trend.

It's turned into more of a garden-variety snowstorm, but certain areas will get some good snow bursts.

It's not the coldest place, but it has a sure cold. And unlike the coldest places, it also has a sure snow cover.

It's on the Black Sea. It was a traditional summer resort for the old Soviet Union. It's at the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. In one of the pictures in the bid you see palm trees and snow. The city is in the 50s in the winter and then you have better snow there than in Turin.

It's the closest ever. It might be the best year, too. The conditions were great - it was warm and the snow was soft. I had more fun this year than I've ever had.

It's the perfect week for spring skiing. The snow is really nice. It has set up since the last storm and the afternoon sun is making for great riding conditions.

It's kind of hard to envision it after we haven't had snow. All in all, we're having a snow storm and we're still above normal.

It's more than just whether there's snow or not. We don't want to be out here during a storm or in slushy conditions. There are a lot of variables to consider, it's best if people call ahead before coming out.

It's also a bad idea to walk on snowmelt where there is still two or three inches of snow because there's fragile vegetation under the snow that you don't even know is trying to grow there, ... This is true especially in higher elevations.

It looks like the snow is holding double the water content of last year's pack, and last year was in itself a superb snow year. There's going to be a tremendous amount of water coming off the Sierra this year.

It looks like we'll continue to see scattered snow showers in the Park, Gore and Flat Tops ranges all the way through next Thursday and Friday.

It makes the snow wetter and heavier and harder to move.

It may not be the Alps but the height of the mountains and the snow generate conditions that are equivalent. The weather can deteriorate from a nice day to an awful one in 20 minutes. On the highest mountains, this can occur almost instantaneously.

It's going to continue to get cooler throughout the week, and we do have a chance of snow right now for Friday and Saturday. It should be an interesting week.

It's going to remain offshore, but we should get some pretty good snow out of it. Tonight will be the big deal.

It's good that snow leopards are dispersing and expanding their range on the top of the world, in contrast to other places where they are disappearing.

It's funny to think that there were only seven days when it didn't snow this March.

It's funny: I've always had the analogy of a snow globe, that Hollywood is a snow globe. No, it's true. If you shake it up, you can look at it and really enjoy it. But don't ever go in. Don't ever buy into it and be like, 'I deserve all of this!' because it can go away at any time, so just have a lot of fun.

It's been a very dry first part of the snow season. There's no doubt about that. I don't recall when we've been this dry.

It's been a real blessing because it's nice not have to deal with it. But when there's snow it's also hard to do (street) maintenance.

It's been a consistent snow year. And snowfall has been quite a bit above normal.

It's been a longer journey than for some of these guys, but what a thrill. I'm from a little town in New Hampshire. It's not that far from Springfield mileage-wise, but it's light years from shoveling snow in the driveway as a kid loving the game. All of a sudden I had an opportunity to play at the college level and coach and do other things. I just feel so privileged to be going into the Hall of Fame.

It's unreal. It's the best snow we've had all year.

It's unpredictable. They compete on snow and ice and anything can happen. But we feel good about it.

It's unfortunate we get the snow and then the very cold temperatures, but skiers dress for the weather. People know to take a few runs and then come in the chalet and warm up. They know how to prepare for it.

Don't ask me to compare myself to a half-a-season guy who didn't have to play in the snow or with blood in his nose or every third-and-1. Bo Jackson is a very fortunate person.

You talk like Kurt and I are wrecking people intentionally. That's ludicrous! That's absurd! That statement is about as silly as someone celebrating a race win in 80-degree weather in Texas with a snow angel.

That is good news for southern Utah since they have received well-below normal snowfall this winter. Utah County will likely receive snow at times through the weekend with the heaviest possibly occurring late Saturday and early Sunday.

That's a good feeling because I was watching Channel 5 and not too many people were happy in New York with their snow removal.

It's sort of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Dr. Jekyll is in the northern and central mountains, we've got heavy snows and lots of snow pack and things are looking pretty normal.

It's sort of like Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde. The Dr. Jekyll is in the northern and central mountains, we've got heavy snows and lots of snow pack and things are looking pretty normal.

It's so good to see that much snow because of all the moisture it holds. It won't be long before we'll see the benefits of that moisture as spring comes to the park.

Everyone saw the Germans had very fast skis at Salt Lake. That was because our technicians did extensive testing on the special Utah snow qualities early on. It was really a major and well planned effort that really paid off.

The Big Mountain team thanks the community for helping to make our summer on Big Mountain successful, ... We were surprised and very pleased with the response to Summit Fridays. As we now turn our focus on preparing for winter, we hope that the community will continue to utilize the hiking and biking trails on the mountain until the snow flies.

The blowing snow still obscured the drops, and it was hard to see without the night vision goggles until about two miles out,

The better chances for snow are going to be north and east of Sioux Falls.

The best advertising for this is spring. Snow melts, the trash is revealed and it is disgusting. And you can't help but have the urge to get out of your car and pick up that can or bottle, and this is just an organized way to do it safely.

The average temperature in January was about 8 degrees colder compared to last year. Cold weather doesn't interfere with shopping. It's the bad weather, with the snow and ice that cuts traffic.

The back hooves are in the same position, the tail is flaring in the same way, the head is identical although the horns are slightly different. One hoof is going through the snow in both cases, while three hooves are visible. And the water scene is virtually identical.

Taking a snapshot of the last few years doesn't really work. There are too many variables. The weather is a tremendous factor. There's been a lot of snow in the high country this year. It certainly wouldn't be fair to industry to say the wells drove them away. And drought - it wouldn't be fair for industry to say populations are going up because of, or despite wells.

It's important that their first experiences are good ones. Good weather, good snow and a skilled teacher all help.

It's a matter of addressing where there are high concentrations of businesses. Caledonia Street should be considered equally with downtown because both depend on access to stores without people crawling over banks of snow. We ask business owners to clean their sidewalks in 24 hours. I support that, but it's difficult to answer their complaints when snow piles up on the curbs in front of their businesses.

It's a mystery that's been buried and only now that the ice and snow has melted away, has this mystery surfaced. Now, what we have to do is unravel that mystery and we just started to do that.
