And don't bother arguing this possibility with your dagburn* LOGIC!

I am glad we have no snow. Notch the temperature up another 25 degrees and this would perhaps even be a tolerable Christmas.

at least it's late in the season, Buffalo is going to be years cleaning up from that early snowfall... but everyone dismissed their cries because "hey, it snowed in Buffalo! lolololol"

Some snow here, nothing much though. I like snow. When there's no snow, I feel like it's not winter at all, or rather, I feel like seasons are majorly screwed up.
It's also cold and there's a lot of fog.

Sunshine grows the plants. Rain feeds the plants. Wind carries the plant's pollen. Snow cryogenically freezes the plants so that future generations may genetically modify the plants into some kind of super-plant.

Can somebody please explain, What the fuck is the point of fog?

I mean, you can't see ten feet in front of you in London right now, it's a menace. People shouldn't have to have their headlights on in the daytime.
And it's still freezing outside, brrrr.

I once sold someone a snow-making kit. Basically, a box of cold air. Must add own water. I got $5 for it.

Without fog, you would have no excuse for having fog lights on your car. Makers of fog lights would die of starvation, and their families would die with them. You'd have beggers on the streets peddling weird yellow lights. Soon, it'd become counterculture to have foglights, and eventually illegal. Then, only the criminals would have fog lights, and whenever you were driving down a road, you'd panic when you saw those yellow lights under the regular headlights. Cars with exotic headlamp orientations would be outlawed, and rich people would have to buy yugos. Soon, the world would be nothing but yugos, and starving people trying to peddle fog lights.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

Yes, that would be awesome. Yay for yugos.

Of course it is! If everyone was bying yugos, economy of my country would soon recover as we'd be a top 1 car manufacturer!

It's currently 55 degrees F here. The weather people are calling for rain right through the week. Christmas Day, they are calling for 51 degrees and rain all day. When I was little, this much moisture moving through would have meant a white Christmas. I know it used to snow around here, I was born in the middle of a bloody blizzard. We haven't had that much snow in nearly 5 years.

Instead, we get floods and fog. It feels colder than it is, because the rain is the sad, cold rain that makes you feel empty inside

I miss my White Christmases, but I feel bad for the Colorado residents. The remnants of what just hit them are moving east, and will hit my area as cold, depressing rain :'(

My dad sent me pictures of the destruction in front of their house. I'll see if I can find a reference picture of "before" somewhere.

Basically (I'm not sure which order the pics are going to appear in), we have the big tree which amazingly fell towards the neighbours place and missed their RV (you can see the RV in that pic), a picture of the polls and lines down immediately beside my parents place, and one picture of my parents house from the neighbours point of view.

EDIT: I added the only picture I have of the front yard XD ... a nightvision shot when I was trying to sneak up on the deer in the front yard and it ran off.

EDIT2: gah, can't get the pictures in the right place. Anyway... that's actually TWO trees now that I see the before image.

This comment has caused me to learn more about the former Yugoslavia, and Serbia and Montenegro.

Info on Serbia wrote: Until 1991 Yugoslavia existed as a country in South-Eastern Europe. It was formed of six republics. In 1991. the country broke up, and several new, independent states were formed.

After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the republics of Serbia and Montenegro decided that they are the succesors of the former state. They formed a federation, and kept the name of Yugoslavia.

In the spring of 2003, the name "Yugoslavia" became history. The name of our country was changed simply to "Serbia and Montenegro".

Finally, in May 2006, Montenegro left the fedaration, and both Serbia and Montenegro became independent countries.

Uhm... happy country all to yourself McDuffies, seven months late.

Got called out on a job this morning at 2 am and because we suck it took for-freaking-ever to rig down at the end of it, and we were out there for nine hours and it was like 18 below. Thank god for sitting around in the pickup but I came back and took a hot bath in a mostly futile attempt to restore my core body temperature and I STILL FEEL FREAKING COLD. And it looks like I might have to go on another job tonight. Goddammit.

I'm going to keep my weather laments to myself after this, because normal people don't live here. Only 47 total freaks live here. And one cat. Who is, ironically, named Denver.

I'm there for all knowledge of south-eastern Europe I can provide.

Yugos were manufactured in Kragujevac, town in central Serbia, I think that they also had licences to manufacture Fiat and Golf at times.
Factory is pretty much ruined and closed now, perhaps just a few more sections working - dragging entire city's economy with it. The usual story.
Yugo is, of course, shortening for "Yugoslavian car".
It was rather interesting, spotting Yugos in Hollywood films. They always use them to wrech them or blow them up, probably because they're cheap.

Uhm... happy country all to yourself McDuffies, seven months late.

Thanks, it's much easier to breath now. Although I was in Montenegro for summer holliday anyways ('cause Serbia has no sea coast).
