What you ask? Mountains in Minnesota. Check out the attatched photo for proof. Okay, actually there are a few "man made mountains" right out my front door. We are in the end of the 5th worst winter storm ever for Minnesota. The result of this storm and shoveling/plowing it is the mountains I refer to. So, do you have "man made mountains" in your are so to speak?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

we have a rather large one in the city park where they shoved all the snow from the main drag.i guess they had nowhere else to put it.
it's dirty snow though,and it looks awful.

I hate snow after it's plowed as it gets grungy and nasty looking.
Almost as bad as yellow snow.

It is the same situation here in Nebraska too. From yesterday we are getting snow and wind. Weather is crazy here. We all want snow in Christmas, but not like this. People are getting hard time to get around. Neighborhood roads are worse, no sidewalk to walk on.

It's been warm all morning. Above freezing and the roads are getting icy now that it's cooling off again. Coming home from taking our son to work we saw 4 cars spun out in the ditches on the main State Highway we take. I drove 45mph in a 65mph just to be on the safe side even though others were honking like crazy. I say, drive around me and spin out ahead if you wish.

I dint have any man made snow mountains here. I was trying to think of man made mountains near me, but there are none.
There are lopcations where I have seen man made sand mountains, or gravel mountains.
I have seen sometrhing of the snow in the US on TV.

hi Grandpa Bob oh no no snow at all. I just looked out the window and the sun is busily shining away, does it not know its Christmas day? wow. never seems like Christmas here in Southern Ca but again its not freezing altho its not nearly as warm here today as in other Christmas days.The sky is blue but alas there is a nasty grey cloud of smog on the horizon too. So I imagine the people in Los Angeles have warnings on the bad quality of the air. But it really is Christmas day so Merry Christmas Grandpa Bob hope you and your family have the greatest New Year ever.

LOL! We sure do here, but not as big as what you have. I live on the Eastern Shore of MD. We used to live up in Garrett County MD. Now that might match what you have there in Minnesota. Thanks for the picture. Gives me an idea for a new discussion.
Btw, I currently read you have 12,484 posts on myLot. So, how long have you been on myLot?

I have been a member here for 4 years.
But for the last 6 months or so I haven't been active here much.
I just recently started up posting a few discussions daily.

I wish we would get a good snow here in Indiana. We have not really had more than an inch of the white stuff this year. All they are calling for, are some flurries right now. I wish we could get about a foot or two, to play in LOL.

lol, those aren't mountains, they're mosquito bites.....come on up here and I'll show you mountains. Anyway, yeh, we have a few of those white man made sort here already,more sure to come with the storm moving in later tonight. They say it is supose to change over to rain tomorrow though so some of those mountains may be a little smaller by days end tomorrow. Argh..I hate winter, I need to moce to someplace like southern Florida or something, the older I get, the harder winter gets to take.

No man made mountains. There is a man made outdoor ice rink though. Follow US 50 up into the mountains though and there are lots of piles of snow all over the place!

OMG!! GrandPa Bob: After seeing that picture I'm just grateful to know
that you at least still have power there; I know your area is/has been hit
very very hard this year so far; Good Grief!!
Do you have a fireplace there in case you all lose power or some other sort of
back up power?
I just don't know how you all put up with all that dreadful snow;
Its darn cold here in Missouri today but NOTHING like what you all have had/
take care, stay warm and stay safe;
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO you & your family;

I don't have any any mountains around me at all. It's pretty much in the middle of nowwhere and I don't like it. I live in the country and there isn't much to see here. It's all pretty much the same things all around!
