Do you like Blizzards? I know I used to, until I woke up this morning after it snowed all night. It was freezing inside, so I took a shower, then went to school and nearly froze to death walking inside. After a rather mediocre day at school, in which it snowed all day, I left to go home. I slid across the road, and nearly ran into a minivan. I pulled the E-Brake and almost skidded into some little kid walking home from somewhere. What do you guys think of snow?

The street I live on covered in snow.

Lucky :(

We've only gotten about 2 inches so far. I long for several feet.

I live in Iowa. We don't get real snow in the town I live, and when we do, it's for a day or two.

I would trade you if I could. :(

i love snow its about one of my favorite things. We had like two feet a few years back and me and my neighbor made an igloo. It was pretty darn sweet and lasted for something like 2 months. When i snow plow man comes he packs all the snow at the bottom of the culdasac and it makes some pretty predigious snow forts like 4 feet high packed as hard as ice with gravel in it for extra support. Man i absolutely LOVE the snow.

how many inches did you get isildur

I don't mind snow so much, except for the fact that I'm used to playing in it for a few days at camp every few years. Now I have to live in it. Since there hasn't really been any snow yet, we'll see. :P

That's it? It looks like a mere dusting. Pshaw.

That's it? It looks like a mere dusting. Pshaw.

There's an entire layer of ice under all that. Plus it's still coming down. The roads are horrible still, almost crashed driving to school. :\

I wish it'd snow like that here...

:o i want snow like that!!!!!!!!!

They finally cleared the main roads. As I was driving home through a neighborhood, this guy in a Ford Bronco fishtailed a turn, and slammed into a parked Buick. Pwn3d.

Well, it was in the 70's this week, here. It's highly unlikely that I'll see snow this year...it's been five years, and then it wasn't enough to build a snow man!

I wish I had snow like that . . . lucky!

i am definitely dreading the snow...we always get lots of snow and then a few ice storms and some more snow and it goes on...i hate driving to school and work and half the time i cant get out of my driveway.....and its a long drive way and we have no snowblower or plow....it took me and my mom a couple of hours to shovel it so my dad could get in when he came home from work...not mentioning walking to classes on campus....i have had enough snow for a few years lol....

I dread thinking about this winter, last winter was horrible for us, I did ok since I had my truck, but now I have a little Dodge Neon, and a longer distance to drive, plus highway driving...ick...but I might be getting the truck back, so that might make it a little better, still, they say this winter might be worst than last winter.

i hope not....i had to call off of work quite a few times last year cause my little cavalier couldnt get out of the drive way...it was horrible.

I now officialy hate snow. As I was driving home, I almost died twice. In 2 miles.

lol...

YAY! We have snow! I was SO afraid we wouldn't get any this December, like last year.

I can't wait to return back to Ohio and see some of the white stuff.

Whinging is only allowed after January 31. Then you may complain about the snow as much as you want. But not during the Christmas season!

I slipped and fell again today. I've almost died multiple times, and I've almost killed someone driving. My arm feels like I just played paintball against 25 other people. I think I've earned my right to complain. :)

I like watching the snow... but driving in it is another matter. I crashed my car on the 1st snowstorm of the year last year, and since then I've been deathly afraid of the stuff. ::]

Snow has been outlawed in Florida...

That's a shame. You should voice a complaint to your state government!! It's always nice to have some around Christmas.

Me 2!!! where i live in IA, we're supposed to get 2-4 today, and we did last night....and the day before..and the day before.....yeah, and i came from Oklahoma.....where it snows 1/4" and they freak out...and it melts within 2 hours.....yeah...and here i'm shovelling the driveway everyday.....since the 31 of November i think...or maybe the first of December....days of snow get so mixed up!!

lol, i like it tho. If it's gonna be cold, might as well snow!

lol, I love it when it snows like it's supposed to. It's actually snowing right now! Real snow! ;D

Finally, after years of waiting, a real winter and a white Christmas...

I enjoy driving in snow because having no control of the car is something that is relaxing to me . . . I don't know why though . . .

Well, you're not the first to say that. :P

yay, Snow . . . yes, our ski resorts have to make snow . . . :(

LOL!!! Last year, we had no ski areas open. :P

I was SO afraid we wouldn't get any this December, like last year.

I have never seen snow in December! In fact, I recall many years jumping on the trampoline in shorts on Christmas Eve!

Fine then, come to my house . . . :P

I'll need for you to send me tips on driving in the snow!

That couldn't be because you live in Georgia. :)

I live in Florida... beat that.

simple.

Bob's rules to safe driving in the snow:

1. Don't crash.


That's about it.

simple.




That's about it.

Actually, if you want to drive into the snow, drive slower. If you start to glide, release your feet from the brake or accelerator. Let the car stop on its own. If you get into a skid, turn into the skid, and don't brake.

What about women? :o

Women drive? :o

Heehee... Maybe not...

Automatics with ABS.

Greg, you suck.

Greg, you suck.

I drive an automatic. :\

*Gasp!* WOMAN!

In other news, I might go eat dinner soon, and right now I'm watching Bruce Almighty.

Wow, and all this time I thought I was a woman!

Wow, and all this time I thought I was a woman!

The truth hurts. :(

Haha, I have no idea what the basis for my argument was up there.

Let's see...you drive an automatic, I drive a manual...yet, all men drive manuals...shall we do a venn diagram? :D

LOL... I love you, Lisa... :D

ha, I think Greg finally met his match. :P

Huh? What? Oh, sorry, Bob...I couldn't hear you because Liz and I were singing, "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" alot louder than everyone else!
:D :D
(^Me and Liz singing)

Let's see...you drive an automatic, I drive a manual...yet, all men drive manuals...shall we do a venn diagram? :D

Yes, please construct one for my viewing pleasure. :)

It's snowing at my house, i'm happy. Even though the snow won't accumulate to anything . . .

it's supposed to snow later today here, about 2-4 inches. I don't agree with the manual/automatic thing. my first car was a manual, yeah I loved it, but after that I got lazy, and thus I got an automatic. I'm not all that lazy now so I might go back to standard, but I say it's a difference of laziness.

Manuals rock!!

Since I'm such a computer genius, I couldn't get the Venn Diagram on here, so I e-mailed it!

Thanks for the blizzard condition driving tips, Greg. I hydroplaned once, and it's hard to remember to turn into it and stay off of the brakes! Your instincts are telling you to do the opposite!

74 degrees here, today, so I probably won't need them!

Call me a wuss but over the years I have driven both manual and automatics without ABS(some without power steering) and let me tell you you cant beat ABS for braking in the snow.

I'd rather be a live wuss then a dead "real man" ;D


Hey Bob...where was that pic of the ski resort taken?...If it was Whitetail it is only about 10 miles from me.

No Venn Diagram in my inbox. :(

Nah, it's Ski Liberty, the main resort. My nightclub card works for White tail, but i've never been out there.

we're just not controlled by our need to feel superior. ::] :D we're perfectly content with our nearly idiot-proof cars.

You said it, brutha. :afro:

lol, I love it when it snows like it's supposed to. It's actually snowing right now! Real snow! ;D

Finally, after years of waiting, a real winter and a white Christmas...
lol, yeah. The other day when it was snowing really really hard(oh, wait, that's been like, everytime.....lol!!), my dad came outside and was like, "i've not seen this much snow since I was a kid!". I was like....that's because we lived in the south..

Liz and Lisa, come up to my house sometime!!! U'll get plenty of snow!!!!!! lol, if u can make through the snow that is ;) .

Snow is from HELL.

wow, that was an oxymoron......^^^...........*gives Greg number to funny farm* :D meant that with all love..........

Dude, I hope your complaints about snow are not going to be a regular occurrence.

Nicole, since Liz and I have never driven in snow, we shall fly in on a pink plane!

Why? Do you like snow or something?

so what's your fun-filled snow adventure story? ::]

ha...HA! It was 8 degrees this afternoon now its dropped to 3 degrees *woohoo!*

we've got you beat. It was -20 when I woke up this morning. Got up to about -5 during the day, but the wind chill made it about -25 or so. ::]


I've almost died many times this season. Happy Holidays! :)
your good cheer is overwhelming. At least you didn't wreck the first week of having your license (I can't spell today, pardon me if that's wrong). That's more fun than most people can stand! ::] :D

Why? Do you like snow or something?
I don't like snow, per se. But it's not like a hate the stuff. The first few snowfalls of the season are supposed to be enjoyable - a welcome change. Around Febuary is when it begins to get a bit tiresome. But it's not as horrendous as you are constantly making it out to be. The thing you need to realise is to have a bit of caution whenever you venture outside if it's snowing really bad near you. You need to learn how to act when there's a situation - like a blizzard or squall - in which it might be impossible to drive or venture outside. Driving in whiteout conditions is never a smart idea; the weather service usually lets you know when it is highly unsafe to go outside.

And don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I've had my fair share of heavy snowfalls, being in northern Ohio and constantly receiving heavy bands of lake effect snow - and having last year being the record-breaking year in how much snow we have received. Try to suck it up and live with the snow, even though it might be a bit aggravating from time to time. It's only December, for goodness sake! There's still like four months of the white stuff remaining - so I don't want to hear constant whinging about how 'snow is evil' and 'I can't stand it anymore' because it's already gotten real old and we haven't even gotten to the actual solstice yet. [/rant]

Nicole, since Liz and I have never driven in snow, we shall fly in on a pink plane!
lol, u let me know where you find a pinkairplane!!

But right now, it's not snowing, you and Liz coudl drive up here, 'cause there's not supposed to be snow until...tonight(50% chance), tomorrow(70% chance), but the rest of the week going into Tuesday, there's not supposed to be any!!!! Which is good, i sprained my thumb yesterday playing in it after shoveling the driveway............so i'm excused of writing anything!!!!! No math!!!! YAY!! :D

So, right now, snow still rules, even if it hurt me....

snow is great. well, thats only my opinion, i am fasinated by snow, but thats only because i dont live somewhere were it snows all the time

Nicole, since Liz and I have never driven in snow, we shall fly in on a pink plane!
Liz has never driven at all. :D

Liz has never driven at all. :D

Pwn3d hardcore

Liz has never driven at all. :D
Lisa and I can teach u!!(okay, so Lisa can....I can't drive either...). lol!!!
It's snowing hard here.........my mock trial meeting was canceled.... :'(

lol, yeah. The other day when it was snowing really really hard(oh, wait, that's been like, everytime.....lol!!), my dad came outside and was like, "i've not seen this much snow since I was a kid!". I was like....that's because we lived in the south...
I don't leave my house except to take out the trash. Speak of the devil! The trash needs to be taken out...

My Dad said, "I'd rather have a brown Christmas." Silly Dad. ::]

Hey, tis not my fault my parents are scared to death to let me get in the drivers seat. They think I'm too stupid to drive.

The only Blizzards we have around here are the scrumptious Reeces Peanut Butter Cup Blizzards down at DQ.

Cha-ching! ...Same here. ;D

Hey, tis not my fault my parents are scared to death to let me get in the drivers seat. They think I'm too stupid to drive.

Driving isn't a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of skill/knowing what you're doing.

winter driving is the best!

Driving isn't a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of skill/knowing what you're doing.
Since when is anything a matter of intelligence? :P

Stupidity isn't limited to your IQ... it applies to all manner of brain functions.

Since when is anything a matter of intelligence? :P
I'm going to plead the fifth. :P

You'd better.



I want a blizzard. Tis 70 degrees here. Not exactly snowstorm weather.

I wish it was 70 here, that would be so nice. Wow... It hasn't been 70 in months.

I'll trade you for a week if you like.

Sounds like a plan to me, this weather is terrible. Although, you don't drive so you might appreciate it more.

Do you have to remind me?
