Ok, snow is bad enough. But when you mix it with your general stupid person, it's just that much worse. It usually takes me under 20 minutes to walk to school, but Sarnia received a lot of snow a couple days ago, and a lot of the side streets aren't plowed yet. On this wonderful day it took almost an hour to walk to school... One would think that as a general rule of thumb, if the snow is higher than the tires of your car, you wouldn't try and get out of your driveway and down the street. But, noooo!! Being the nice guy I am, I helped 2 different people out of the shit. Also, there was a huge moving van that was stuck, tires just a spinning... smart people...Use some common sense, please. ------------------ Posted by askheaves on Dec. 13 2000,22:13
Yeah, so, I didn't need to wear a jacket to work today... or pretty much for the last month, nor for the next couple of months. I don't mean to brag, but I'm starting to realize why I don't live in Minnesota or Milwaukee anymore.:P Suckers PS. I do miss driving in the snow, though. It's always fun Posted by j0eSmith on Dec. 13 2000,22:40
YOU WARM WEATHER WHORE!WWHHOOOREEE I'm stuck up here with the high temperature at -13C and the lows -22C. I mean, look at that forecast! To top it all off its too cold for us to even really get snow, we have like an inch and a half. ------------------ Posted by Rhydant on Dec. 13 2000,23:58

Cyrino: I hear you. Its not just snow. Its rain, sleet, fog, wind, still air...the list goes on! I just want people to do one thing. Look at the dial with the numbers that change with the position of the gas pedal. If the little arm indicates a number that is less than the number on the signs that say SPEED LIMIT, MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE! ------------------ Posted by Wolfguard on Dec. 14 2000,11:24
Snowboard? alps?You want me to stand on top of a steep mountian with a slick board on my feet? This message has been edited by Wolfguard on December 14, 2000 at 06:27 AM Posted by askheaves on Dec. 14 2000,13:51
Yeah, snowboarding isn't that bright. Does anybody here do the shorty skiis? Not the old sleddog boot things with the bottom of the boots slick, but the skiis that are about 3 feet long with no poles.I rented a pair once, and I was able to do the halfpipes and stuff right away. It was the coolest thing ever... just like rollerblading downhill without too much fear of falling. It r0xored XTreme C00l! Posted by Willy Pete on Dec. 14 2000,17:37
You only appreciate the snow when it's moving fast under your board! God I love the feeling that you're just about to lose control.Yeeehaw! I got 2 weeks in the Alps in the New Year. Can't wait. Posted by mqa on Dec. 14 2000,23:16
snow was the best rap artist ever!!! living where i do i have learned to appreciate snow as a fun and beautiful phenomenon. my friend who used to live in dayton would die happy if she never saw another snowflake in her life.i have a question though, if the snow is that high, why even bother going to work/school? askheaves: those mini skis are awesome. and theyre not a pain in the ass to carry around like regular skis too.

You wanna talk about insane. When we went to disney world (in florida) it was in december about 10 years ago and it snowed while we were down there. While it was flurrying outside there were dumbasses pulling off on the side of the road putting chains on their tires. Just to reiterate. There was no snow on the ground but these assholes were putting chains ont their tires. I dont know about you guys but before I would pull off rt 95 and put chains on my tires I would wait till there was like at least an inch or more.------------------ Posted by Sithiee on Dec. 16 2000,01:22
wouldnt putting chains on your tires without snow on the ground just be bad for the tires?...im no expert, but that really seems dumb...
Posted by Vigilante on Dec. 16 2000,02:15
Bad for the tires, even worse for the roads.

quote: Oh wow, one whole _inch_ of snow. I can't even _begin_ to imagine how you would deal with that... </sarcasm> Yeah, what's with all you Southerners? The temperature here today is in the -30s if you count wind chill. We have had perhaps two days in the past couple of weeks when it _hasn't_ snowed at least a bit. We only have a few inches so far, but still... Posted by j0eSmith on Dec. 16 2000,21:58
Goddamn people and your goddamn facination/fright of snow.I can't belive people would even consider chains at all. Unless your off roading they're just a pain in the ass. Get a 4 wheel drive vehical, some good winter tires and if you want to, some studs. If you can't deal with at least 2 feet of snow in that setup you should get off the road, light a flare, hitch hike and never ever drive again till its summer. On to another note, Micheal it was in the -30s here yesterday, all day, without the windchill. (thats Celsius). We finally got some snow today, about 20cm. (3/4 a foot). Before that it was just ice on the roads most of the time, now at least theres some traction. ------------------ Posted by askheaves on Dec. 16 2000,22:47
I'm scared now. I'm going home (Minnesota)for Christmas pretty quick here, and I have become very accustomed to this warm weather. It's one thing to live in the cold, but visiting it really sucks.

i like living in a state where people are used to snow.chains on tires? not until there's at least 3 feet and it hasn't been plowed for two weeks. ------------------ Posted by L33T_h4x0r_d00d on Dec. 18 2000,13:56
quote: HEY DICKWEED I WAS BEING SARCASTIC. Jesus fucking christ if you put chains on your tires befor there is decent accumulation you just tear them up. It would be really good to be going down the road at 55 mph and have a broken chain fly off your tire and get all hung up in your under carriage or even worse hit someone elses car. The dumbass floridians were using chains with NO snow on the ground. It was flurrying and they were all worried. Dumbasses.

My parents moved there because it is far from civilization, and you could build a 5 million dollar house for well under a million... I get to go there tomorrow morning. It's about 75 degrees outside right now, and I'm about to spend a week in Minne-god damn-sota. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.
