Silly Boy. I know "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," but warm too?

Nah, 'used to live about an hour (+/-) from Philly (where keithvibe is now) and can tell you, it ain't true. 'Course chances are its a lot colder/snowier where you are.Dayem!! That's some snowstorm ya' got there. There must be 6-8" on those tables and benches all ready.

Quote, originally posted by 06pvibe »... And here I thought it was always warm and sunny in Minnesota.... It never really is. It is the land of weather extremes. Scorching and humid in the summer, chilly falls, bad winters, and storm-filled springs. Plus the occasional tornado. Honestly, I want to go out in this, just to see what the Vibe would do. If it were AWD I wouldn't even think that long about it, but it's the standard FWD version. If the AWD would have been 4wd, I would be all for it. It'd be nice to knock my dads truck down a peg.

You get snow... I get rain... and lots of rain...

Plus the occasional tornado. No worries, Man. I understand you a noob and therefore don't really know my SOH yet, but I was just messin' with you in my cynical (humorous) way. Afterall, I saw Fargo (SD/Minnesota.) (Let me put it to you this way: I'm currently in Texas, a Pennsylvania transplant of 16yrs now. The weather here has been in the 60's-70's lately. BUT we had several days where the temps were down in the 20's-30's, the winds were gusty/steady and out of the north, and my hands, which are VERY sensitive to cold, dry weather anyway, are a mess already.I would DIE in Minnesota!! Winter weather is just not my thing at all. It's that self-preservation thing, and I have a hard time understanding why ANYBODY (BC, SD, etc...) would want to live in such a climate.

Finally stopped snowing here. I think they said we got 17" in the northern TC. Eastern TC is going to get 24" when it is done. Snow blowed twice so far. Will make a final pass tomorrow.Now it's time for the Arctic Blast to come rushing in. We'll be around -15°F by Monday morning. I'll be plugging the Vibe in and setting a timer for Monday AM.

Quote, originally posted by keithvibe »dude.... time to MOVEEEEEE crazzzzzy!Yeah. No kidding. But y'know, he and SD actually LIKE this kind of weather. They LOOK FORWARD to it????

Quote, originally posted by 06pvibe »Yeah. No kidding. But y'know, he and SD actually LIKE this kind of weather. They LOOK FORWARD to it???? Indeed!!! Slightly below freezing at the moment! It's started snowing here and we're supposed to get 6-8 inches by the end of tomorrow!!! (personally, I'm hoping that the weatherman's wrong and we get what Brian got... )Here's what it looks like now: (Oh yeah... I live in an apartment building so I don't have to shovel a damned thing!!!)

I shoulda' put a few of these in after may last post.

Well, yeah, when 6 months out of the year is winter, you have to look forward to it. If you don't, then move! We have two seasons. Really Freakin' Cold & Really Freakin' Hot.

Well, I'm not really much of a water baby either, but generally speaking.... YES! Snow is pretty and all, at least for the first few hours, but the cold, wind, ice, scraping, shoveling, etc... You can have it. *edit* I had enough of it for most of my life thus far. I'll appreciate it from afar these days.To each his/her own I guess.

I understood your joking. I'm in a web debate elsewhere, so I can read tone pretty well. Me? I've never seen 'Fargo'. I laugh at Fargo's actions on 'Eureka' every now and again. I hate you for being in a place that is warm. I SO want to get out of here. My window is 1/3 covered by snow drifts, almost 20 inches by the looks of it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/201...dwest xD Oh well, saves those in MN from watching the Vikings I guess.

That's a lot of snow all at once.

Always careful, Jerome. Thanks, though, for the concern. I snow blowed the driveway 3 times during this storm. I need a break..haha.Just in case anyone is wondering, It is still fall. Winter doesn't begin for 9 more days...lol.

A few snow flurries for the first time this winter today here..

I've gone out twice today and it's still slick, so obviously tomorrow isn't going to be good either.

Heat? that's why i love it. it's the perfect alibi for skipping class. "sorry teacher, was too snowy and i couldn't get to class on time to finish, i mean turn in my assignment." lost power a few times. but it wasn't when i was awake so it didn't matter. heat as been good.

Got a little over a inch here in S Jersey Thursday the 16th,it was a disaster area,salt trucks came out after the fact as usual. Then thay put down too much salt,I think the dump truck drivers have a pool going on who can put down the most CALCIUM CLORIDE per mile.
