Winter weather

[Roadhog]

On the Noon News today they said it had JUST started snowing in the Carolina mtns. Expecting UP TO one full INCH by Midnight! Avery county schools have allready closed and sent the kids home! :shock:

We're expecting a few hours of "mixed" snow or freezing rain Thursday morning. The SNOW DESK on Channel 9 will be fully operational and posting updates every FEW minutes! Jeez!!!

Yeah, this has to drive you nuts. It not like snow in the Mountains there is some strange event. :evil:
The news broadcasts go overboard here too. They make a state of emergency out of anything. Sometimes they hype the ever-living crap out of some pending DOOM...only for it to never even happen. #@$@!!%$#. It's all about ratings. You get the feeling they LOVE the worst possible stuff to happen. Some reporters can't even contain that little smile when they have a hot story of someones tragety. You wanna smack the make-up right off their Lead story face.

But now ice and snow in South Texas....that's kinda like Hell freezing over. Even the Bad Ass Stud Horse is whinnying kinda high pitched....and tip toeing all sissy-like.

This oughta bring all the Fire Ants inside...

That's like here where at the mere threat of a storm, the local news preempts all programming for about 48 hours until all the weather is over :shock:

Oh yeah.... I KNOW!!! Meteorologists just LIVE for this stuff!!! Every time a tornado comes CLOSE to the Carolinas... the "Severe Weather Desk" pre-empts ALL prime time coverage until it is over!

Of course, we WERE hit by HUGO back in '89!!

I KNOW why Roadhog is laughing! I used to live in Denver!! But, someone DID make a good point about how FLAT it is in Michigan! :wink:
[Though I'm not sure I've EVER seen a 10% grade in TEXAS!!]

Careful, RH: We've all seen the pictures you posted of the Mackinac Peninsula! Didn't see hill ONE in those pix!! About as "hilly" as the Florida KEYS, if you ask ME!!

No, not the freeways, but a few side roads here are, and some are where school buses go.

I just came back from going to the store down the street. The snow birds down here must be rolling on the floor laughing over all the fuss down here.. Roads are just not cold enough to have anything stay, but the over passes might be a problem.

I Forgot to let the Jimmy warm up, soon as Pulled out of carport, rain froze on window, and Pi$$er froze. Ahh, felt like the good ole days up north.

[Roadhog]

Ohhhh they're plenty steep.
Each year now they seem steeper too.
I wheezed more this year Deer huntin' than ever.

We're not exactly ridge runners like y'all...but we ain't no flatlanders neither....skinnnnnffff hoike fluuugie. :?

Probably due to the tilt in the axis of the Earth, the REAL cause of Global Warming!

I suggest that NEXT year you try hunting DOWNHILL!!!

And leave a few of those "pints" behind! :shock:

I wanna know where this "Mackinac Peninsula" is?
You been there road kill? :P

[Roadhog]

Never heard of the place. But one good reason why we should go to War with Canada.

War is God's way of teaching American's Geography. :P

[yoopr]

That's right

Alright... you TWO!!!! Very funny!!! Most of us down here have never figured out y'all's language anyway!!

It's the Strait of Mackinac, Mackinac Island, Mackinac Bridge? and (I believe) a town called Mackinac..... so, since it's not the U.P...... I'd call it the Mackinac Peninsula!!!

What the heck DO y'all call it?????

[golfhobo]

Oh, sorry!!! That's a FORT Mackinac and a MackinAW City!!! Sheesh!! Why is everything ELSE named Mackinac except a CITY and a COAT???

I bet it's pronounced with a Katherine Hepburn accent, too!!!! :P

BTW, I believe the pictures were of the Leelanau Penninsula, (where Roadhog REALLY lives) so his "location" under his avatar is a LIE!!! Maybe HE needs to be taught some Geography!! :P :P

[dieselgrl]

*headdesk*

Someone call the National Guard! It's snowing in Texas!

They've already shut down I-20 at Ranger

What amuses me most, is that on the news this morning, TXDOT admitted to only having ONE salt/sand truck out for the entire DFW metro area....

[Roadhog]

I suppose you should have maybe two Saltshakers there...but...if they could only get the roads salted before they melt first. :? hahahahahaha Good thing God doesn't allow Cabin Fever in Texas... :P ....y'all would be freaking out in three days and eatting each other the next. :? :P

But...my condolances...I'm sure your nads are freezing off...I doubt there is a LongJohn Store anywhere in the whole State.

We got around a foot here in N. Michigan. My sister's place this morning in N. Indiana...
they just missed the 10" of snow that fell west of them.
But the Horses and Cattle woke up to a beautiful Crystalline view.

Yeah,I had to run to Ft. Worth to drop a load of Chep pallets,and pickup a backhaul in Saginaw. The metromess is a skating rink. I ran into the snow around,Decatur.(30 miles north of Ft. Worth)So,if yall are going to DFW anytime soon,be careful. Kinda slushy.
