Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
OK, so I'm a northerner, living in the south.
It's snowing right now (barely), and everyone is freaking out. ![]() Is there a transplant support group on this forum?

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
Having lived in NC for 4 yrs. I think that being on the borderline of snow or no snow hobbles many communities plus they simply don't have the resources to deal with it. Where I lived, if it snowed you just stayed home. Everybody knew this except me after my first snowfall and I was the only one to show up for work.

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
No, you can't, it's getting colder so you have to by warmer clothes, you ignore that you're liable to get frostbite. I was making light of the fat idiot Al I waste more energy then 100 people Gore and all the idiots that bought into his scam, not to mention all of the faulty information his top "scientist"(formerly a railway engineer) gave. I know I always turn to a railway engineer for all of my climate information, I get my construction information from the fry cook at my local Burger King.

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon LineQuote:
The only snow I want to see is on a post card or the weather showing storms up north and even then I get cold chills. Depending on how long you have lived in the South, even a dusting can be a problem. Not because people in the south cannot drive, but because the ground never freezes or so rare that the first few inches ever does. With the ground not being froze even a dusting can cause black ice like conditions once one attempts to drive on it, regardless if from the north or south. All in all the few time it does snow, it is nice to see, because tomorrow will be 60 or above, one more time ![]() ![]()

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
Seth? How much did you get up there? Couple of inches here. Had to thaw the vehicle doors this am to get into them. I 'm about 120 miles from Nashville. Plenty of black ice in places. Main roads are in pretty good shape relatively speaking. When this does happen, I drive my wife to work.

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
Send the snow to the northern 2/3 of Minnesota. For the past 2 or 3 years, we haven't gotten enough and it bad for the economy and morale. It hasn't even been that cold (as in "It is too cold to snow"). The resorts, bars, restaurants and ski areas have been hurt, although you can always make "fake snow", so the metro ski areas have had
night skiing for a few weeks. It seems it all goes south and east of Minneapolis/St. Paul (supposedly a plot hatched by the once great Green Bay Packers). We finally got up to 3" on the ground and that stopped the glut of used snowmobiles on the market.

Re: Snow Below The Mason-dixon Line
We actually had some snow flakes fall the other night here in Austin, Tx. It was raining/sleeting & snowing all at the same time, haven't seen that too often & I grew up in northern ohio. It was fun to look at that night, but not the next morning when I had to go to work.
