My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

How much are you guys supposed to get? My cousin sent me some pics of snow in Corpus a few years back. Snow on palm trees, very strange.

Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Oddly it's rather mild here...
Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Same here. School ski may indeed be cancelled because of lack of snow, which means I won't get a day off to sleep till 11.Originally Posted by BDC

Same here, and I'm hoping it stays this way - at least for a while longer.

It's roasting up here! It's barely fallen below nought degrees all winter! It's even reached 10!

Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Record warm December here (second warmest since 1900), and January isn't much colder compared what it usually is.
Now it isn't so much of a bad thing in January compared to December.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Wimpy southerners.
Late last year my home got about a foot or more of snow in about 24 hours - but that didn't delay my trip across the state by much. Just this weekend I was skiing in 0 degree weather - frostbite time on exposed skin 10 to 30 minutes.

Mmmm, maybe Strikey isn't refering to the cold stuff falling out of the sky.
Could he have been a naughty boy in San Antonio...? We'll know if tomorrow he posts about wicked pink elephants they've got up there.
Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Oddly, it has been warm in Pennsylvania also. It was 55 F the other day. Right now, its 23 and feels like 12. My ears are burning from that walk I took.
Re: Snow in San Antonio?
When I was a kid there was usually enough snow around the city you could go skiing in the park.
These days you need to go north of the damn Arctic Circle to see the stuff more than a couple of days randomly scattered over the winter.
You know how old folks tend to complain how they had it tougher as kids than modern children ? Well, they're justified in this point at least. No worries abut having to trudge through snowstorms at seven in the morning on the way to school.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Oddly enough, we only just got enough snow to bother yesterday. It seems as though the places where it never snows are seeing the most snow this winter.
Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Though most of you guys might not think it, it usually snows in Hawaii. Just the snow is found on the Big Island on the mountains Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa. I was a bit bummed over the Holiday to not be able to go sking there like I have in past years.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Snow in San Antonio?
Deal with it.
It was -32 this morning when I woke up. You get no pity from me.
