Snow

[Csargo]

It's snowing. It's amazing. That is all.

It's storming. It's amazing. That is all.

[Csargo]

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.

So ... you have not experienced real snow before? Or is that while living in Texas?

[seireikhaan]

I believe Ichigo means that he's never experienced SNOW. Period. Snow is extremely rare down in Texas. Results are absolutely hilarious when it does happen though.

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!

Soo ... you didn't start the car, turn on the deicing and go back in for a cup of hot chocolate?

[Yoyoma1910]

It is snowing in New Orleans now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



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 beautiful snow. See you next decade.

[Megas Methuselah]

It snowed up here in Canada a looong time ago. And it's still here. Deep. White. Cold...

[Hooahguy]

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.

[{BHC}HolySpagetty]

I never seen snow...

I feel to left out in Florida..

[Ice]

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.

[TevashSzat]

In Maryland, we get mediocre precipitation. I don't remember a big snow storm since that really big one maybe 5/6 years ago when it snowed like a few feet (iirc).

The past few winters, unfortunately, have been pretty lackluster. I think last winter, it barely snowed at all....

[Yoyoma1910]

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).

[Crazed Rabbit]

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?

I wish I would have been drinking when Ike hit.

another snow supporter! have a balloon

[Husar]

Seems like America stole my precious snow...

Come on guys ... Have you ever rode a motorcycle in snow?
It is a brave endeavor and I am impressed.

Did you have studded tires on that bike like we have here?

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.

actually i was born in NYC, but ok....

[Rhyfelwyr]

It was snowing here last night, it didn't last but I get the feeling we are in for a snowy winter.

[rajpoot]

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

[Yoyoma1910]

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

Yes but this is the thread for snow near the tropics.


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.

[naut]

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.

[King Jan III Sobieski]

Deep. White. Cold...

Sounds like something from the 3 Word Story

Snow is the dandruff of the devil, `tis what I say.

[Crazed Rabbit]

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

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

Did you have studded tires on that bike like we have here?

Nope, big knobby dirt bike tires though. On an ole '95 200cc Yamaha. This January when I bring it out again I'm going to put studs on it though. The tires are a bit more worn down. It should be some good fun.

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.

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.
