Snow??!!!???!!!???

It doesn't seem as if all you northerners know how to drive in snow.

Sure we do. The first snowfall of the season is always bad, as everybody forgets how to drive on ice during the summer. I think the same thing happened here again: we haven't had much snow at all this year, aside from a few big storms. There wasn't anything on the roads, and people just got used to driving normally. It is April, after all.

It is still snowing here, but after yesterday everybody remembered what to do in the snow and this morning's rush hour was fine, just a few spinouts, no big deal.

Of course, anywhere else in the country, entire cities shut down after getting 2 inches of snow. Now that's funny. At least we have seasons up here, and things are green. I've been to Texas, and I don't think I would want to live there. I guess I am spoiled with our 15,000 lakes, forests, rivers, and green surroundings.

Yea, but I'm still a little further north and drive in snow for a good 6-8 months of the year (usually 8)

I can't wait for spring.

Hey SARGE! I was in San Antonio last month and saw the full moon come up over the Alamo. ONE problem, it was Friday night and the temp was 28 and wind was blowing at least 20 knots! That means COLD! I have been in TX in the hot and the cold and I definitely prefer the HOT!!! As in Odessa/Midland in August!

I would rather put up with the heat here in Arizona for 3 months to live with 9 months of beautiful weather.

For the last week it has not dropped below 80 for a high and it was 96 yesterday. Next week they predict temps in the mid to high 80's.

If I want to see snow in the winter I can drive 90 minutes North, stick my finger in 6' of the white stuff. I say yep, that's snow, and drive back to 70 degree weather.

I heard all that snow is supposed to make it my way by the end of the week....JOY
