Catilda Lily Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 There is about 10 inches of snow outside right now. It all fell with in the last 24 hours, and they are calling for more. I didn't get any pictures of it yet, I should have, we went out in the woods and picked our tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarthTheWereWolf Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 What is this "S-n-o-w" you speak of? I'm in California.

U-235 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Ahh I love the snow. I used to and still try to go snow skiing out in Colorado and California. Mostly around Beaver Creek or Lake Tahoe. Here in Georgia we never get snow. And if we get even more than an inch (three specifically) this is what happens (see picture below). Atlanta quite literally shut down. We had cars that caught on fire because people abandoned them on the road. It was like the fucking apocalypse had descended upon us. I was up at my previous college in Rome Georgia. We got 6 inches and school was shut down for 4 days.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U-235 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The only problem I could think of is y'all northerners getting de-sensitized to the magic and wonders of snow. Or is that just a false assumption on my part? I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revates Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I CAME INTO THIS THREAD BECAUSE DR GRAVY TOLD ME TO. BUT I WANTED TO SAY I SAW SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK AND IT'S AMAZING. I threw snowballs at @evan and it was great. Unfortunately the only picture I snapped was us hugging in the snow which I'm probs gonna just post in the mugshots and selfies thread. If it snows again I will post pics! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Lee Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just had our first snowfall that stayed on the ground, at least overnight. And we weren't even supposed to get any snow. Spinning tires while accelerating. Sliding past the places I was trying to stop, abs clicking. And some semi-controlled drifting fishtailing. This is pretty much video of my driving: And that's Montreal. You would think those french-speaking canadian fucks would know how to treat their roads to keep that from happening but I guess not. And then there was this 53-vehicle pileup on the highway between Detroit and Lansing.... great.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/12/08/multi-car-crash-closes-west-near-lansing/95138712/ And now we're supposed to get that named snowstorm on Sunday. 5" during the morning. Then another wallop of unknown proportion in the evening. Then more snow a week from now. Fuck mother nature wants to rape me raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Nothing like having your welding instructor sending everyone home in the middle of a fucking snowstorm. The roads were absolute shit, to the point where driving above 25 mph put you at risk of sliding into something. It is still snowing heavily 2 hours later though, so I think he made a pretty good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
