I gotta agree with ya,roadhog. Man,these people around here are nutz. Anytime the weather man mentions winter weather,the people turn dumb overnight. All he has to do,is say,"well,we have a very slight chance of some snow flurries,but no accumilation"....man,it turns into a crash course around here.
I do remember one time that my dad and I were on the way to work. He used to be a salesman at a local office supply store. I also worked there sometimes,delivering. We were in my old pickup,and it was slushy out,but not too bad. He wanted to me be extra careful. We were downtown,and this SUV passed us. Dad was like,"well,look at that idiot." We caught up to him at the next stop light. He had Alaska plates. I said,"dad,I bet that feller thinks that WE are the idiots." :P
Youre right,there is a difference,as to what part of the country people are from.
One year on wheat harvest,we were in Grand Forks,ND. The farmer's wife asked me one day out in the field how cold it usually gets down in Texas. I told her that there are times,that it can get in the teens,but not for very long. She was like,"oh,that is nice weather." That didnt go over very well with me. I was like,"so how HOT does it get up here?" She knew that she been had,but she answered anyway. She said,"well,it can get up in the 90's,sometimes. I was like,uh huh. :P
