Snow update from my area...

A FOOT OF SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call the newspaper, the record books, national TV!

Okay, so we haven't had this much snow since I was born, which was about eighteen years ago.

Re: Ok, I like a white Christmas and all, but...
 

Well, I'm happy with the 3 to 4 inches we got yesterday. Want more though! But that's probably just because we have a tractor to plow the snow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif so I don't have to do it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .

Buy an artic Cat and ride through the snow.

70 is a little cold for beach bunnies. the nearly naked ones usually only come out when its in the 80s. well, at least in souther california. here in San Francisco, its usually pretty cold, so you will see some bikini's in the 70s. of course, the beaches and water tend to be f-ing freezing, so its usually just rather confused tourists or surfers in wet suits.

on Xmas day, it was downright frigid in the 50s. at night it made it all the way down to the 40s, and you could even see your breath. some people had to wear jackets. i'm not sure how cold snow is, but if its anything like a 40 degree night, you people are crazy to deal with it every year.

No snow yet.

Probably not. When you live in climates that have regular, significant snowfall you just deal with it. Hey, I'm only in Maine (actually a 'warmer' cold climate since we're so close to the ocean), but if we shut down everytime we got 3-6 inches of snow, we'd be closed half the winter.

Folks in warmer climates just close down cities and such 'cause they don't have the facilities and resources (snowplows, snow tires, anti-freeze, experienced drivers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif, etc.) to deal with the snow.

I can remember being in Fort Gordon GA in 1980 (while in the Army) and 1 1/2 in snow closed the city for 2 days. There MIGHT be 1 snowplow in all of Georgia. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I can also remember getting 10 inches of snow and still going to school in Maine.

EDIT: ...and Geo, I don't normally see the asphalt on my street for 3 months at least... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
