1. wretched excesses
On New Year's Eve our little town of Foley, Alabama brings in huge dumptruck loads of "snow" (Finely crushed ice, I think) so the kiddies can have snowball fights and build snowmen.
I know...I know...

2. my father used to staple cotton batting to our roof in texas...
turn on the air conditioning, and have a fire in the fireplace for effect.
my mother added to the folly by spraying canned snow to the inside of the windows.
i thought it was beautiful...

3. I think I actually believe that.
Last year a house over in Pensacola had the front yard covered in cotton. Guy must have gotten ahold of some spoiled bales.

9. 9 am West Newton = 21 inches on ground, 5 more expected
Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 09:38 AM by papau
and "wet" and heavy, with 6 foot wall via plows between my car and road.

Where the hell are the 14 year old kids going door to door trying to make a buck?

man - I hate it when we are in a "special" slice of the map that gets "enhanced snowfall" - I do love buzz words.

But I suspect that if we were one of the "normal" snowfall areas and had only 16 inches, I'd still be wondering where were all the 14 to 17 year old high school football players looking to make a buck.

11. How did the shrinkwrap around the house work?
:bounce:

50 degrees and glorious sunshine in the Mid-Atlantic. Our highschool football players are out making money selling drugs just like always, I suspect.
