fantasticsound Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Every once in a great while Nashville resembles my beloved hometown of Highland Park, Il., north of Chicago! It took my wife 3 1/2 hours to get home from work, which is 30 miles away. The first 2 miles took approx. 1 1/2 hours. Gotta love driving in snow in the south. Southern drivers haven't a clue when this happens. :D My car didn't move all day... [img]http://members.aol.com:/neilbergmn/snowcar.jpg[/img] It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

not Cereal Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 [img]http://24.116.43.40/stuff/snow[/img] beat that!
patrick_dont_fret Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 fantasticsound, you're lucky. We got absolutely shite. The kids still got out of school 2 hours early, cause in Memphis, if anyone even mentions snow, everyone freaks and goes to the grocery store and buys up all the bread and water. People here are retarded.
Calfee Jones Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 It's just that we have been getting hit so much with snow in the Great Lakes region this year that we are tired of even thinking about snow... - Calfee Jones
Mats Olsson. Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I remember a particular december day in New Orleans when they had what the panicked locals called a "snow storm". Easily one of the funniest days in my life! (I still laugh when I think of it all). I wonder what they would call a [i]real[/i] snow storm? Snow is good, especially when it is well below freezing temperature. Melting snow is bad. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!
jackpine Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Mid January and I can still see the grass here in northern WI. It's just wrong. 'Spose I'll have to move farther north. :D www.relayerstudios.com
Botch. Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I've had to resurface my skis once already this season, keep hitting rocks and twigs. Could youse guys [i]please[/i] send some of that snow our way??? :cry: :cry: :cry: Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net
strat0124 Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Actually my band opened for Confederate Railroad last night, and driving home in the snow was a trip. I hit the curb once or twice but made it home in one peice. But this is Virginia, where it snows pretty often. Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in

Every time they mention "possible dusting" all the senior idiots converge at shop-rite because they won't have enough food if they don't make it the next day.

PBBPaul Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 You could send some of that snow to Southern Wisconsin as well. So far we only have the cold this winter (it was -4 in the backyard this morning and yes that's Fahrenheit). I haven't even used my snowblower yet. I suppose there's still hope, we still have about 3 months to go. I feel bad for the folks North of us who depend on the snow for tourism.

Lee Flier Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 They said we MIGHT get snow here in Atlanta last night but we didn't. It's still bloody cold though. Supposed to get down to 16 degrees F tonight... not typical of the south!

RobT Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Since Weewus didn't chime in on the conditions in Charlotte, NC. I will. We got maybe an inch. Certainly enough to cover the ground. Made the grocery store stop on the way home from work and picked up ...... milk, bread and a few other items. As a transplanted northerner you better make the grocery store run. Being used to a 1 foot of snow or more up north is a lot less disruptive. Down here they don't always have the heavy snow removal gear northern cities have. So ya might be captive. If any of you have children you know that low snack supply levels and cooped up kids mix as well as oil and water. :D RobT Famous Musical Quotes: "I would rather play Chiquita Banana and have my swimming pool than play Bach and starve" - Xavier Cugat

Over here in Memphis, we hardly saw any of it, maybe a trillionth of an inch. More sleet than anything, really.
fantasticsound Posted January 18, 2003 Author Posted January 18, 2003 Well....! A lot's happened with this thread while I was working. :) Today was much better in Nashville, though all schools and many businesses were closed due to the weather. I had the enjoyment of watching a semi driver who got stuck backing into a small warehouse for Wise Snacks. Our second warehouse is in the same building. I refused to drive the van down that hill to the far side of the building. Never would have made it back up. It took this guy over an hour to park! :rolleyes: We managed to get 3 20'-24' trucks parked in about 10 minutes after he was out of the way. Still, it was slick as can be. Can't wait to set up the governor's inaugural parties, tomorrow. They cancelled his parade, and the public gathering at War Memorial Stadium will probably be poorly attended. (Outdoors, mid 20's temp. expected.) Thank goodness we'll be setting up at Opryland. As to those up north who want our snow.. no way! ;) We only get a snow like this every 5 or 10 years. My daughter had a blast throwing snowballs at mommy and daddy. Man, it's great to be 4 years old, ain't it? :D Or the parent of a 4 year old. ;) It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Bunny Knutson Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 You guys are lucky! I have to take a day off and drive for three hours to get my kids to the snow! But it's worth it. The snow in the Sierra Nevadas is GREAT! :thu: https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/
