Quote:Since the snow started flying, we've had 70 inches dumped on our sorry lakeside asses, and in these parts, spring don't come till late March, so we got plenty left to come. One night a few weeks back brought an ice storm which caked everything in town under a quarter inch of ice. It took me almost 15 minutes to chip enough ice off of my car to see out the windshield and even get my door open. You could have skated on empty parking lots.
Spring in March? Not here... spring is April, and even then it just means that occasionally the snow melts and turns everything into mud...
Quote:Also, we don't need 70 inches of snow for our vehicles to become encased in a cage of ice. We too end up digging vehicles out of thick sheets of ice struggling just to get the door open. I find it funny more than annoying myself.
Garages are good.
Quote:Bwahahaha, this is about the ninety eighth time we've had a discussion about weather where we live.
So? It's still funny to see them complain about a few inches of snow... :)
Oh, and on the subject of heat, I know I dislike heat... but still, the fact that we don't have air conditioning means it matters more... sure you may not find the mid 80s hot but I do. Summer temperatures... 90s are rare and those are heat waves. 70s, 80s... 60s sometimes, sure. But that's fine, I prefer my summers not really warm.
