4. Must be nice, I had to come to work.

5. Well that's good.
We've had tons of accidents here today. One fatal.

I am really glad I am here at home. I'll be the first to admit that this Texan does not know how to drive in the snow!

7. I know how, and I do it with one hand on the wheel and one on the gas and brake.

People just have to remember to SLOOOOOOOOOOOW down. And do not make any erratic movements with the wheel or brakes.

19. Unbelievable.
My sister used to call me from Houston every winter to remind me they had no snow. Wouldn't you know it, she moved last summer!

BTW, I'm from Fulton, New York. We laugh at your "snow".

11. In Central Maine
We've got only about four inches of snow total this winter. I don't think we got more than a couple of inches all last year. Some really crazy weather! Love the bean dip quote, it's one of my specialties! Anyone down in Texas want to buy a snowmobile or some cross country skis?

Edited on Tue Jan-16-07 04:57 PM by hatredisnotavalue
Or is this a once every 100 years thing?
