So here ya go!
Life’s fast forward button is a rotten marriage and ugly divorce.
Suddenly, you are years older with nothing to show for it.
Don’t worry. Just think about how fast time is moving for the Jug-Eared Kenyan and the Wookie! Soon, they will be out of government housing and paying for things out of their own pockets!
... responsibility-avoiding, blame-assigning...
When we lived in Los Angeles county we could drive an hour to ski. That was nice. I don’t need cold all the time though!
Excuse the faint sounds of suppressed laughter from the wilds of Montana, please.
I won't be too hard on y'all however. Got to spend too much time in places where snowfall was about as common as unicorns to be that way.
Let's see....we had our standard issue first snow the week before Halloween, but it was only six inches that was melted off within 48 hours. (Although that Black Ice up on the mountain passes that came with that puny little snow was no fun at all even for someone with a couple of decades experience...)
Got through the following six weeks with just piddly stuff now and then but got a real snow the week before Christmas. Then it got cold and most of that stuff is still on the ground and any road where the plows haven't got to.
Oh, yeah. It's still over two feet deep down in Billings and half again that much at The Homestead. (Where the wind hasn't drifted it up too much.)
Now, I've even had to go to my Final Solution for dealing with winter driving and bought chains for the new truck. (I've found that I only have to have a set in the outfit to keep snow and ice away for years.)
Finally, my only question about the "unusual" Winter weather we've had so far:
Who's the [BLEEP]ing idiot went and invited AlGore to give speeches on GloBull Warming again?
Excuse the faint sounds of suppressed laughter from ME!
I originally hail from Rochester, NY. Now THERE, you might see some SNOW.
Here in Atlanta the city will shut down for a week on 6 inches of snow. In Rochester, we called that a 'light dusting'.
But being here for a while, I do understand. They have NO snow clearing equipment, salt, or the means to spread salt. Makes it a lot tougher.

Has somebody else already entered this suggestion?
Laz, if you receive this message, what with your ATLANTA SNOWMAGEDDON Snowy Snowpocalypse, how bout:
“the 12 days of obozo”
as an anticipatory Christmas-y celebration some-such countdown?
It's Morning in America, once again!
The sun is just over the horizon.
Thank you President Trump!!!!
God bless America.
Do the state and county road departments where you live invest much in rock salt? Here in the Northeast the trucks always salt hours ahead of the snow so as to prevent as much as possible the road surface from freezing before plowing. It does help somewhat.
Me too. And babes in shinny silver minkskirts with purple hair flying UFOs.
Well it is now a raging blizzard here in Norwood, MA
joy....
ugh
Not to mention those Alabama (or fill-in-the-blank) drivers who:
- Have only seen snow landing on their windshield and/or the road in nightmares.
- Don't have any notion on how to get said snow/ice off so they can see to drive. (My all-time fav was a newly arrived neighbor lady who was going to pour a teakettle full of water on her car to defrost it one 10 degree morning.)
- Don't have the faintest clue of how to deal with driving in ANY amount of snow or, worse yet, snow on ice.
(Rochester, eh? I got my first years in Northern Illinois, then a spell up the hill west of Denver and finally back to The Homestead. Yeah, we both kinda know that snow stuff okay.)
I think they use brine more than rock salt. But nothing like up North.
Over the years here in NJ they’ve started using brine as a first step and along with the rock salt. It does help. That is until we get over four inches or more and right now we’re going to top that. *sigh* Snow used to be fun when I was a kid... not so much anymore.
Completely so.
Not the Rockettes. 8>)
I lived in Raleigh for two years (2010-2012)---holy crap. It was a suicide mission to drive in two inches of snow. Not only do they not have the means to deal with it, they don't have the skills either.
It literally looked like Mad Max every time there was a storm. People just abandon cars, wrecks every where. I told my employer, if it snows, I aint driving.
I also lived in Albuquerque for a while. Same story, except there they use sand instead of salt on the roads. It's a frikking disaster, mud and snow everywhere.
