White 25th
Grumman-581
for some of ya'll, this is not a big deal, but I'm in the New Orleans area
these days and that just doesn't happen much around here (not that it
happened much back in Houston either)... I checked the NOAA site for the
Slidell airport (about 1 mile from my doorstep) and they were calling it
"Unknown Precip"... Apparently no one over there is old enough to remember
the last time it occurred -- probably sometime during the last Ice Age...

-39F or -39C ?

I was out drivng around in it earlier... Combination of snow, sleet, and
rain... A couple of bridges had a little ice on them, but they had sanded
them, so now they're sandy icy bridges... Not many stores open around here
on the 25th... One Chinese restaurant, quite a few gas stations, and a
couple of daiquiri shops... Interesting to note that there were more
daiquiri shops open than restaurants... Makes one understand the priorities
around here in the New Orleans area... Rescued a couple of teenagers whose
car had died in the middle of the road... Towed them to a safer place where
they wouldn't be run over...

see snow of some of the higher peaks in the distant mountains. Gotta love an LA
Christmas. (Some people even go diving.)
:-)
Merry Christmas everyone.

I believe that is technically classified as "FUCKIN' COLD"...
I suspect that you're on a first name basis with your snow shovel... <grin>

Sounds like having snow up to your 'nads is affecting your cheery outlook on
life... <snicker>
Rudy Benner
Yes, I have a super model of the classic snow shovel. Chrome plated.
Technically, you nailed it.
You folks don't know what square tires are. Most of you would be unfamiliar
with a block heater {not the woollen thing that Canadians put on their
head}. We actually plug in the car at night. Yes, we are odd enough that we
actually prefer to live in Canuckistan. Imagine.
Rudy Benner
That could be it. Perhaps its a severe lack of dissolved nitrogen, a VISA
card with a zero balance, money in the bank and no job at the moment, not to
mention a brand new bouncing baby digital camera c/w underwater housing
needing a baptism in salt water.
It would only take me 30 hours to get to the keys.

Whew! Too cold, dude. It's just right here - just a shade below
freezing with lotsa snow on the roads. I've been out playing with my
wife's new AWD.

Square tires... yup, had 'em just last week.
Sadly enough, my 'Merkin built truck doesn't have a block heater..... TG I
live in Trannah, you can get away with not plugging in the vehicle. Truck
tends to be pretty unhappy when first awoken on the coldest days however.

Lucky Dog.
50's and rainy here most of the day, yesterday turned nasty on the drive
back from our dive site. <-------(rubbing it in too)
Supposed to get nice just in time to go back to work.

Today is sunny... Most of the snow and ice has melted -- a few spots in the
shadows are still around... Currently 49F... Personally, I find it difficult
to get in the mood for diving when it's snowing or sleeting... Even if the
water is a constant 72F, you still got to come back to the surface sooner or
later...

It was a vaguely amusing show, but even the creator says it's nothing more
than a work of fiction.
