Snowmobiling

[Kerry Skydancer]

When the Australian customs agent asks you if you've ever been convicted of a crime, though, it's considered bad form to ask if that's still a requirement.

ok, if Sol harps on the land down under one more time I'm stealing his key to the thermo nuclear tactical warheads and I'm not giving it back.

and if anyone else does I'm stealing the key anyway and putting it to good use.

*steals Sol's keys make a copy of them and gives them back.*

I need them in case that spring come too fast for my taste. Nuclear Winter rules.

I live in North Carolina. We'd be lucky to get one WEEK of snow.

Feel free to come to Quebec to pick up some.. We got ourselves about 2 feet's worth of it in one day today (Friday 16)...

Hey! Don't give our snow like that. It's our national treasure. We need at least 1 meter of snow before start to give some...

Vive l'hivers!

S.P.P.

I'm dreaming,
Of a damp, christmass.

Ugh, we never get any decent winters here anymore, just realy cold and realy damp

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

ok, that's it!

*tries taking Sol's key and accidentally ends up with the one Catherine_Puce had*

Lies! Australian Customs consists entirely of Steve Irwin and a croc on a leash

Meanwhile in Wichita its snowing. (puts on heavy boots and goes tromping around in the snow.)

I have this mental image of a Rac Conan Daimh visiting eastern Cuyahoga County...it is the end of one of our lake effect snow squalls, and he is standing on tippy toe and craining his head up. His triangular nosetip is sticking out of a snowdrift, and he is thinking "Yeshua, HELP!" while lingering dime sized snowflakes drift lazily down.

[Sharuuk]

*sigh*

Everybody else here is having all the snow-fun..........it's 65F, light southerly breeze and a grey misty day............

What's snow???

Enjoy it! I lived in Wichita for about 10 years (my parents still live there), and most snowfalls could be best described as "half an inch of precipitation - in five-foot-deep drifts!"
I still have a coat I bought at Backwoods Inc., near KSNW-TV.
The wind, you see... Folks here in the Pacific Northwest don't know what wind is all about..

Wichita Kansas... Very, very nice people, but the weather and bugs more than compensate.

People maybe nice, but one drop of rain or a snowflake touches the ground and everyone runs for the stores, thinking its a flood or blizzard or both. And they can't drive.

We get this crap EVERY YEAR in Pittsburgh. And still, nobody knows how to drive in the white stuff.

The other day I watched more than half a dozen cars crawl up our hill (which is, admittedly, pretty steep) and slide backwards after getting about halfway up. One of the cars was a Hummer H2, the one vehicle that should've laughed at this kind of weather. Just goes to show you: What do you get when you cross a moron with a 4x4? STUCK. I had to go down and get him out because he was lodged in a snowdrift in just such a way that he was blocking half the road. He's down there going apes*** trying to get his big bad sports-futility vehicle out of the snow. I ask him if he needs a hand, he says yeah, where's your truck to pull me out, I say I don't need it, get in the truck, and in about 10 seconds free the vehicle. Then I drove him up the hill to his house and parked in his driveway.

He didn't seem too happy about that.

(I should note the hill was very snowy and very icy, and many vehicles had trouble. My father's '92 Ranger (4cylinder, 2WD pickup) with an empty bed, made it up the hill without issue. So did my FWD, 3-season-tire-equipped Cavalier (my tires aren't rated for snow).

While running a couple errands in that slop I was cut off by at least four people in their big SUVs. All then proceeded to slam on their brakes in front of me for some stupid reason. Two of them slid off the road doing this. One had out of state plates (Florida. Figures.) The fourth was a COP. (local police have a couple Explorers)

Next time the roads are like this, I'm staying the f*** home.

On the night of Dec 22-23 last year, I just stayed at work and slept. The next night it took me almost until dawn to get home and in bed.
