It's snowing. It's amazing. That is all.
It's storming. It's amazing. That is all.
First time I've ever seen it snow. It's still coming down. I made a snow circular thing and put it in the freezer. It won't be on the ground tomorrow. :sad:
So ... you have not experienced real snow before? Or is that while living in Texas?Quote:

Snow is actually quite common in the panhandle. When I woke up to go home yesterday it took me an hour how to figure out how to get ice off my winshield......DON"T JUDGE ME!Quote:

More than I've seen in 15 years. Maybe its even going to be more than then.
Did Hell freeze over or something?
I'll put up some pictures from my apartment.
Edit: Oh no, now it's raining!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good by :sad: beautiful snow. See you next decade.
It snowed up here in Canada a looong time ago. And it's still here. Deep. White. Cold... :no:
here in the ATL when it snows a half inch or so, the entire city grinds to a halt. you see, there are no snowplows.
I never seen snow...
I feel to left out in Florida..
There was snow, but now it is just freezing rain in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania.

I've seen snow on the ground twice once in Colorado and in Oklahoma. I've never actually seen it coming down from the sky before though.Quote:

The past few winters, unfortunately, have been pretty lackluster. I think last winter, it barely snowed at all....
The news said the last time it snowed this much in New Orleans was in the mid 1960s.
I've lived in Innsbruck, Austria and in northern Montana, near the border with Canada. I've seen snow snow.
However, New Orleans and snow are not common lovers. They don't get together regularly and become one. The meeting is something very special and infrequent. It's like being married to a political prisoner on another continent. Sure, you might see pictures of it regularly on the TV, and people are always talking about it. But when you finally do get together... well, its very special (if a bit awkward).
Oh, you southerners.
I rode my motorcycle in the snow last winter (when we had feet of snow) and I'm planning to again.

And I drank through the last hurricane, what's your point?Quote:

Snow and driving is fun and reminds me of a glorious youth. Today the cars have ABS, ESP, front wheel drive and a host of other technical driving aids.
New drivers don't really learn to drive nowadays.
When the first snow comes, the traffic grinds to a halt by young mothers and kids being terrified by the strange slippery surface.
Me.. I get out my old Volvo 740 with backwheel drive and no driving aids, put some real winter tires on and take it for a spin full throttle.
It never goes straight but drifting has never been easier. It is top fun. :yes:
actually i was born in NYC, but ok....Quote:

Has anyone noticed we have three 'snow' threads now?

Ichigo, Strike, and I all experienced the same snow storm, though in different regions. They in the night, and I in the morning. It was a really frigid east bound cold front.
It actually snowed here about two months ago, started with hail and ended up snowing about a centimetre. I took pictures it was such a freak event.

I'm reckless. But also that snow is maybe the main reason Texans haven't taken over all of the USA.Quote:

Unfortunately, I don't have that bike with me right now; only a naked bike. It snowed a bunch today, and tomorrow it's supposed to be 15F for the high temperature. :sweatdrop:
So right now my mobility is limited to walking distance and the sporadic bus service.
Oh, and Yoyoma, I love your analogy about New Orleans snow.

Snowing in Summer!? Texas plays by its own rules!
:wink:
Northern hemisphere and all, bud. Winter here.Quote:
