    Snow is starting to suck

    Ok so I am getting really sick of this snow. We are at about 21" here at the house. This is the most snow that I have seen here in Ohio since I was about 10 years old.
    It was nice the first wave of it but now it is getting really old. I am happy that I am off of work for my thumb right now but Gee enough is enough.

    Sparky how much you have up your way? I know you got more freezing rain then I did.

    Well that's much of snow, here's only about 15" of snow everywhere, maybe less

    This must be effects of global warming

    Actually zero freezing rain here (or not enough to be noticed). Have about 2 feet of snow on the ground right now. I need a 4x4 truck or something. My Camaro just doesn't cut it in this kind of stuff!

    didnt you know that global warming will cause a cooling trend....


    hehe

    in DC, weve had the highest snow totals EVER.....


    thank god for global warming, if it wasnt for that, we would probably have 10' of snow on the ground, instead of only 56 inches
    Its not overkill if it works.

    yeah but it wasn't suppose to be that noticeable ... i mean it's like gradually increase ... but compared on previous years, this is like shooting off the chart ... seems so sudden ...

    Well, I'm sitting here in the middle of Texas and we just got hail yesterday...

    It's Febuary. That's spring here for those of you who actually have seasons.

    Summer is supposed to start soon I think...

    So you can do Furmark, Can you Grid???

    Oh hell no it's just getting started here. We are still locked in by snow, at least as far as the school systems are concerned. My kids have been out for 14 days. I've run out of sedative darts.

    I am now taking donations from all snow hating Americans to buy one of those evil American cars to help Global Warning

    Luckily we don't get snow in Belfast, but other areas in Europe have too much of it as well.

    I LOLed

    I plow snow for the company I work for. We've been busy the past 1.5 weeks. And, possibly more coming next week.

    Thund3rb1rd, I love the Firefox girl. Little did that model know how famous she'd become on the interwebs.

    May be one of the funniest things I've seen this week. Well definitely this day.
