Ahh, the Weather

Been like that here the last couple of days too! WTH!! At least I got a chance to wash my truck!

I just checked online, a place in Russia, Yakutsk, which right now is -38F right now. I would not want to live there

I would rather be cold during the winter instead of 180F here :haha:

Hot in the summer and cold in winter


When I was there during the summer it reached 150. Is that hot enough for you?

Here in Pennsylvania, I would actually like it if it would be colder. Cuz now I can't go snowboarding. Not that I'm particularly good at it, but anyway...

Yeah, I like it when it's real cold

One time it snowed down here for like a 4 hours ( :haha: ) and I went outside and I would throw snowballs at people who were walking around

Well, let's just say I wouldn't go outside at all, no matter the situation

Wouldn't it be unbearable when you're in uniform?

Wow, 4 hours for Texas? That seems to be a lot. Here in Boston (and all around New England), it will snow for days on end and not stop. Nothing like 4 feet of snow (2004) with drifts of up to five feet in my front yard! Also, nothing like -9F (January, 2004) either with a wind chill of -20F - -25F!!!

Yeah it was last Christmas when it snowed, It was like 20F and it rained so it started to snow

That would be cool, I'll be a ninja and hide under the snow and when people walk over I'll pull them under

That was the year I had classes called off because the wind chill in Wenham was consistently -50 to -65 F, and if we were outside for longer than 10 minutes, any exposed flesh would be frostbitten. Needless to say, my dorm was about a 12-minute walk to class, so even if they hadn't canceled the classes, I still wouldn't have budged from my nice warm PC...

When it's really ridiculously cold or snowy out (and there's no way I'm going outside), I always play my old TIE Fighter game... you know, the one LucasArts released way back in 1993. I played all the way through it in one of our big blizzards in the mid-'90s, so it's kinda etched into my mind now that that's what I should do in a snowstorm.

Hmm... What does LucasArts and blizzards have to do with each other? :haha:

Nothing except that I bought it during the winter and it became my favorite pastime that entire season, so I just kinda made the connection. You've got to realize I was 10 in 1993, and things you do that early in life have a tendency to stick with you.

Or maybe this is completely strange... but whatever. I'm pretty sure most geeks who were alive and gaming in the early '90s would agree with me that any reason to revisit one of the best Star Wars games of all time is a valid reason.

Not to mention the fact that it helps to have something indoors and warm to look forward to after a long day of shoveling or snowblowing... I'm sure anyone who lives in a moderately snowy location can relate to that!

Yeah I remember those starwars games for the Nintendo when I was like 5 :haha: they were kinda... crap but I still played them because I didnt have my desktop to play Farcry / Oblivion back in the 90s

Same thing happened with me (I live in the North Shore). My school was called off due to the cold weather. That was the only time I had ever seen that happen.

I HATE shoveling :evil: ! Especially, when your hands, fingers, and legs become numb.

you're probably doing it all wrong. next time, have a few drinks before you go outside. just be careful...walking on ice is tricky enough as it is!

Amen to that. Although i dont physically plow my driveway. Ive got a 450CC 4-Wheel drive ATV with a hydraulic plow lift system on it. i just sit down and put my thumb on the throttle, and it does the rest.

..AMD

part of what i like about chicago is that we have alleys, so all i really have to shovel is the garage apron and the sidewalk...city plows do the rest.

I can't! I don't drink anyway :blush: . I love the winter but shoveling I HATE!
