    HaHaHa, but seriously I don't think these people own any warm clothing, much less think to bring it along in June.

    Take this advice from me: If you're going to Reno, NV, bring at least one very warm set of clothing, and a windbreaker, regardless of the season.

    the temperature differences between day and night in the desert can be quite a shock to the unwary. I was fortunate that I was with a friend the first time I went

    our snow here was all powder, and then we got a lot of wind piling it up and sculpting it afterward, so there are some pretty fantastic piles and eddies

    That's usually what happens in Reno. It's so windy there, it can snow lightly for several days and yet the streets are bare. The wind blows it away.

    Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

    that storm was like three day ago, and this morning I find this post on our neighbourhood yahoo list:
    "I'd just like to ask that folks don't try to drive unless it's absolutely necessary! We've had countless cars stuck on E 4 St. today - it is impassable (at least between Beverly and Ave C.) It would be nice if the road was clear of stranded cars in case the plows ever decide to show up...."
    notice those tire tracks on the left in the photo of my street? that SUV ended up parked in the middle of the street for a day or so just about twenty feet behind where I'm standing, but because we're close to an avenue that got plowed, they managed to dig their way to the intersection. I wonder whether they got very far after that . . .

    Well the snow prediction for the Portland area did come true. I went to bed at 2am and it was 45 degrees and pouring rain. I get up this morning and there's snow on the ground and it's only 37 degrees.

    Yeah, I noticed. Still annoys me that they don't know how to appreciate wildforms.

    And their questions of the week are uninteresting.

    And I don't like the fact that they have their snakes bite people for entertainment.

    And I don't like grown men screaming like little girls.




    In fact, I can't think of a single good reason why I'm still subscribed to them.

    Well, I don't really think it started out that way. That one guy kept getting bit and the audience got such a kick out of it, now they do it on purpose. I think it's best if you voice those concerns by commenting on their videos. These guys do read comments and often respond to them. I don't think it's so much that they don't appreciate the wild forms (they do have wild form snakes) as it is so much that they are showing what most people want to see.

    They are running a show here, so in case you haven't noticed, there's some acting and entertaining going on as well as serious talk.

    Have done it, won't start repeating myself in their comment sections. I have given enough unsolicited opinions.

    Trust me, I have noticed. It's 99% of the show.

    as well as serious talk.
    The amount of serious talk has been declining rapidly.
