Author Topic: Texas gets snow! (Read 14602 times)

I heard that Texas got quite a bit of snow and that temperatures dropped into the teens, causing roads to freeze and car accidents all over.

You know it's a bad omen when Texas freezes. I never knew it could even snow down there. maybe God's pissed that Bush won the election again.

Ohio got 2 feet of snow dumped on them. We've been spared the snow, but the temperatures were down in the single digits earlier this week.

I just wanna know what the fuck is going on, and why there's so much snow and arctic temperatures. I better move to mexico now before this state is covered in an ice sheet. Beware the eye of the superstorm.

It snowed here in Maryland two days ago, but today it got up to 60 degrees. Now it's supposed to snow again on Friday...

There's no snow in Atlanta.

It's cold as I imagine a well-digger's butt would be where I am. There's snow in Jackson, MS, which does not bode well for the Meridian area. I hate that white crap...it's like angels are shitting on you.

You didn't know it could snow here? I think that's kinda weird. Sure it doesn't where I'm at (flurries in '85 is the last time we even got close) but it snows in the Northern part.

Today it got up to 60 degrees with 100% humidity, then it dropped down to 30...

It has actually gotten a little warmer here in Southern California.

And there is no snow. As usual.

Humbug.

blanktoe · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 23, 2004, 05:41:53 PM »

you dont want snow in california. The whole state would shut down. We get snow here in Memphis maybe 4 or 5 times a year and we're never ready for it.

We only got 6 inches of snow, but temperatures are freezing. Right now it's -5.

During the snow storm the last two days, ohio got 2 feet of snow, powet went out in several locations, typical winter stuff.. but the most interesting thing I've ever seen in a snow storm happeend in Indiana.

Because some semi trucks got stuck trying to drive up an icy hill on a highway, a massive backup occured. The entire backup was about 25 miles according to CNN. People started running out of gas and getting cold, so the army had to get helecopters and rescue everyone. How many cars and trucks can fit into 25 miles I don't know but it must be in the thousands.

We got sleet yesterday. It was like God had dandruff.

I can't believe it's snowing in New Orleans, Somebody must have wanted a white christmas extremly bad.

DAMN this winter is gonna be cold here. I remember last year i would go crying, YES, CRYING to a class that was like 4 blocks away from my apt just because it was fucking cold. fuck the cold weather. fuck it.

Well I'm glad that I have to drive twenty minutes to get to school. At least I get to drive in my nice, new, warm car.

It snowed sometime this morning. The snow plows woke me up at 7, and it was still really dark out.

Last year I remember grabbing a shovel to dig my car out of the snow just to pull it into the driveway so that the snow plows could clear the roads. <_<

I'm probably the only slim person who's comfortable in the cold.

I'm torn between wanting to build a snowman and being so sensitive to cold that I can't even stand being in the cold isles of the grocery store.

Cold does not bother me... It seems to bother everyone else in the state, but I guess working in a freezer for a year wearing nothing but a t-shirt had something to do with it.

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 27, 2004, 02:05:05 AM »

I forget, where are you at again?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 27, 2004, 05:35:12 AM »

Maryland.

Asaba Maryland?

Never mind.

The only time cold bothers me is when I have to work in it because it precludes wearing sufficient layers as it hampers mobility. I remember dangling over a near-frozen river in single digit temperatures with 20 MPH north winds to I could work on a frozen field measurement device. As if they needed it RIGHT THEN, as it was used to measure river stage. You know, with the river being frozen, and all.

We had some flurries and snow collection on the birdbath & roofs, but that's about it. <_< I can't believe Corpus & Victoria got slammed, Nuri, along with Galveston. If I had known Galveston had gotten so much, we would have risked driving over the icy causeway just to get pictures of all the snowy Victorian houses, but there was no news whatsoever that morning, just Xmas programs. :angry:

Ah, well, I have the picture up here at work of my house during the Great Blizzard of January 1973. A full 3" of snow! School was closed for 2 days.

Galveston is the new name for a town that used to called Mergatron.

I couldn't believe Victoria got snow either. I told my mom yesterday and then today she's all "did you know they got snow". Yes! I did! Stop ignoring meee!

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 29, 2004, 03:17:12 PM »

It's almost become my favorite anime. Definitely my favorite series buy of the year.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 29, 2004, 03:31:11 PM »

i HATED the ending of the anime. i know it continues thru the manga but before that i stopped liking all that stuff.
