The reason I moved south is because I began to hate snow with a passion. Wished I had moved earlier.

I absolutely love winter. Minus 20 celcius on its way Thursday. I function way better in the cold than the heat. Fatman syndrome

I was preparing for being stranded going to work today. I figured I could make it in but the worst of the storm was coming in the PM today. I packed food in the car, water and extra weather gear like a second pair of gloves. I came out to go to work and saw a 6'4" 300lbs cop shoveling my driveway.  He had so much cold weather gear on I didn't realize at first it was my son in law. I was getting ready to drive away and my government job cancelled. It never does. Even with the Governor's state of Emergency my  retirement job was still going till I got the eleventh hour call.  Sitting around in my workout gear now trying to get my lazy ass into the basement gym. 

On a side note my son in law doesn't lift weights but his passion is martial arts. Just amazed how strong he is shoveling.  It looks effortless. I'm 5'8" and 190 something right now. I know I'm in good shape and he just puts me to shame with his shoveling.  I was shown how strong he is another time when we were putting up fencing.  He drove in long thick nails into a 4x4 with two easy whacks. Despite trying repeatedly I couldn't do it with two hits.

I'm not fat but I agree.  I hate hot weather, sweating my balls off getting bitten by bugs.  I prefer mountain regions that have short, dry summers.

We got 7" last week. ;D

I enjoy living in the mountains and having snow/ice instead of blistering heat and humidity.

The problem typically are the roads, but we have legit road clearing machinery here so by 9am everything is easily drivable. There are a few bridges you want to stay away from, but generally it's not too treacherous around here.

Go to Louisiana, it will make you appreciate the snow.  Hot and humid here were the air gets sticky, and also, LOTS of cockroaches especially if you live near the Mississippi river

Been there, along with Mississippi- and I love it. I live in South Carolina now and it's never too hot and humid for me. Different strokes for different folks.


As for cockroaches- they are everywhere in the US. Had a friend in Rochester NY who literally had an infestation of them in his apartment - at night they covered an entire wall!  And I'll never forget the mosquitoes and black flies living in northern NY. Don't have those where I live in SC! Just Palmetto bugs and I've seen about 3 in 10 years...

So are they waiting for the storm to break? I'm not up on snow plow timing.

What I know is that we get a few inches of snow, often on top of ice and along some the city trucks with snow plows on the front, plowing snow and ice in a large mound in front of the driveway so that the there is no way you can get over it into the street and there is almost nothing short of spending hours and hours breaking your back trying to clear it so you can get out to go to the store.

It makes little difference, because I can't get out anyway. As soon as it snows, the city closes the street right in front of my house. Good thing they do too as many of the folks who ignore the blockade, end up crashed into the hillside or into other idiot's vehicles who couldn't just stay home for a day or so. Then there is a parade of these these folks who come trudging back up the hill on foot, slipping and falling. There is an excellent view of this comedy out my living room windows.

The next day or so when the folks venture back to their cars and trucks they see the added bonus of a citation for disobeying the closure on their windshield. Really folks, was it worth it?

You are such a pussy and closet case.  Life goes on and shit needs to get done.  Grocery shopping, work, legally having to shovel your sidewalk....the last one is the only thing you can get a ticket for not  doing, and conservatives actually know their neighbors and will go shovel for seniors while you lying "care about everyone" piles of shit stay hunkered down and don't do shit to help anyone

Stick to threads about politics and faggotry, where you make an ass out of yourself eaither way.  No offense to any of the gays on here.  Don't care about preferences, but this guy is a complete lost idiot that claims he's one thing, says he does another, and is obviously confused about his identity.
