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...

When I was there during the summer it reached 150. Is that hot enough for you?
TimeParadoX said: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
Nothing like 4 feet of snow

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

zephead said: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.

sounds like you could have filmed a disaster movie on location and save money on the special effects! did anyone see the video of that transformer over in colorado that exploded on dec 26th?Bruff said:Over 300,000 without power, green lightning at night watching the transformers pop and generators selling for 3 times what they normally do.
