Hey, mad. How many inches you got???

[Condem]

I'm talking snow, now.

[Forkboy]

1. Last time I asked that I spent the night in jail.

:hide:

[happyiowan]

2. The last time I asked that question.....

I got married.

[Forkboy]

6. So, an unhappier ending than mine?

;)

[happyiowan]

7. I would say so!!

I'm afraid I could easily slide into total impropriety, so I'll leave it at that.

[Condem]

3. What's going on in Beantown, Fork?

How much you gonna get?

[Forkboy]

5. I'm 40 miles northwest and we've got nothing at all.

I haven't watched the local weather since August though, so for all I know we're about to get a repeat of the blizzard of '78, which is ok with me. I have no heat and when it snows it's warmer than it is now. Friggin' freezing over heah. :)

[JonLP24]

8. The most interesting fact I found out

when I was at Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri is that it is possible for it to be too cold to snow. When I heard that it blew my mind.

Not sure if it is factually correct though. I'm from central Arizona so I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to snow.

[happyiowan]

11. It is true...

I'm no science wiz, but it has something to do with the fact that it can get so cold that the air is too dry for the snow to ever reach the ground.

[Condem]

12. Oh, hell yeah, Jon.

When we get to, say 20 to 30 below, we have an old trick. We boil water in a microwave and then take it out and throw it in the air.
It vaporizes instantly. beautiful!

[Forkboy]

13. 30-35 degrees with flurries is my kind of weather.

Spent too much time on hockey rinks to be anti-cold. :)

I don't know about never, but it does seem like it rarely snows when it's under 15-20 degrees. The snow and low clouds almost act as an insulator, so snowy nights can be very peaceful and cozy.

[happyiowan]

17. And quiet

The clouds and the snow insulate against all the world's sounds. I love that. And I hate the bitter cold so I love big snows because it means it's actually pretty mild.

[Condem]

9. Battin' down the hatches, Fork!

I thinks you're in for a White Christmas.

[Forkboy]

15. That would make a great motto for a coke dealer!

:)

[Condem]

19. They call it Der Bingle, out here.

That crazy German shit.

[El Supremo]

10. Blizzard??? You ain't got no stinkin' blizzard.

It's hardly below freezing there.

Try living in the High Plains.

[Condem]

14. Jesus, El.

I live in Iowa.

[El Supremo]

18. I hear it's called "Breesus" tonight....

Besides, our winters are dryer than yours but a hell of a lot colder.

[happyiowan]

21. How cold?

Colder than Iowa sounds like whatever the cold version of hell is.

[Condem]

22. What's your coldest, El???

Bring it on!

[El Supremo]

24. Since I've been here, about 24 below.

But I think it's been lower. That last several years have been mild. But I think that Global Warming has taken a vacation this year. So far 17 below.

Now Minnesota or North Dakota or West Yellowstone or Frasier and Gunnison , CO are far worse.

[Condem]

25. We hit 30 below in Cedar Rapids, last January.

It's so cold, sublime is the only word I have for it. Because it takes a helluva a lot to get there. By then, you're just laughing at it.

[happyiowan]

26. He calls it sublime.

I call it things too unsavory to type.

[Forkboy]

16. Yeah, that's some brutal shit.

:scared:

We actually seem to miss a lot of the frigid cold here in the Boston area. It's gets damn cold, don't get me wrong, but not like those winds there. That's just evil.

[El Supremo]

4. Last time I aked that...

I spent the night in the hospital.

[TZ]

20. We've got about 20 inches here Condem

A truly historic storm. They've moved the Ravens game to 4:15 from 1pm. I don't know when the Bears will get in.ALL the airports are closed

[Condem]

23. Damn, TZ.

That there is a record. Having lived in DC for five years, 13 inches was the most. The Veterans Day storm of 88, me thinks.
Enjoy, TZ. Going into Christmas it sounds like the Perfect Storm!!

[madinmaryland]

27. Fucking A, Condem. I got at least 18 inches here, or so says my wife!!!

:D

I was on internet lockdown, as I was watching the DALLAS COWBOYS on delay tonight end the Saint's dreams!

:hi:

[joeybee12]

28. How did this sex thread NOT get locked?

:shrug:

[madinmaryland]

33. I was wondering the same thing. I guess what happens in the sports forum

stays in the sports forum!!

:D

[Condem]

29. How's it look in the light of day, mad?

Again, I mean all that white stuff. Report in, peoples!

[madinmaryland]

32. I think we ended up with around 18-20". It took an hour to dig the cars out.

[TZ]

30. Hey Condem remember how I was worried about digging my car out

Two of my neighbors helped me out and one of them is a Cowboys fan (I was wearing my big warm Redskins jacket). We actually had a nice polite football conversation while digging...So snow even transcends Wash-Dallas...:)

[Condem]

31. Try that in Philly, TZ.

I don't think it would be as civil. In fact, the Eagle fan would dig his/her car out and throw the snow on the Skin/Cowboy fan's car.
This, I can guarantee.
