If you live somewhere where extreme weather is common - DON'T BITCH ABOUT IT

[LynneSin]

You don't like the snow - MOVE

:grr:

:hide:

[MissMillie]

1. I don't mind the snow

what I mind is all the people who didn't grow up around here, coming up here for school or whatever, and they don't know how to drive in it.

[LynneSin]

2. I think people should take snow driving tests before they are allowed to move

into areas where there is snow.

We don't want those bad drivers up north!

[madinmaryland]

7. A half an inch of snow shuts things down in MD!

It took a foot in CT before they started shutting things down.

And the drivers down here have no clue as to how to drive when it's snowing.

[Redstone]

19. You must have been in Connecticut a LONG time ago! Nowadays, they panic at

the first half-inch as well. I think it's because of all the gloom & doom that the local TV channel weather people spout.

3. You assume everyone has the economic wherewithal to live

wherever they please.

[LynneSin]

Well why not - they should!

:hide:

[flvegan]

4. Extreme weather?

You mean like Antarctica? Alaska? That seems extreme. They should have the allowance to bitch about it.

[MrCoffee]

5. i never expected to see this on a "progressive" website

"don't bitch about it"? :rofl:


i triple dog dare you to go post DON'T BITCH ABOUT IT as your subject line in GD.

[LynneSin]

6. I'm trying to think of a proper topic to post abou that one

but I'd do it - why not!

[MrCoffee]

9. you don't need a topic...just the subject line and an empty message field

[flvegan]

16. Well, it was really cold here last night, and sleeting buckets, and windy, and that

kind of weather makes my shoulder and knees hurt, and it was unpleasant to go out onto the screen porch to smoke a cig, and we get WAY TOO MUCH of that kind of cold, wet weather around here, you know it's not a DRY cold like they get in northern New England, it's that WET cold that is even more unpleasant than, say, 20 degrees with low humidity, no, we get a LOT of those days of 34 degrees and rain and/or sleet, and the sleet is even worse to drive on that snow, because, you know, snow packs right down when you drive on it and it's predictable, but that sleet, boy, when that stuff starts building up, it's very slippery because, as you might (or might not) know, it's wetter than snow, so it's kind of like ice in some ways, and furthermore it tens to build up on your windshield wipers, and you have to stop every now and again to clear off the buildup, and boy does it stick in your car's wheel wells, making those ice dams that you have to kick loose with your foot, and on top of that, when it's sleety weather, you usually get a thick coat of ice on your car windows which you have to scrape off unless you warm your car up for like 25 minutes with the defroster blasting, and with $3.00 per gallon gasoline, who can afford to do THAT, and, boy, do we get a LOT of that kind of weather around here every single winter, without fail, year after year, and it's no kind of fun at all.

17. Colder than a well diggers ass around here today

I think I am going to move.

[KamaAina]

18. But no one can afford to move south from the Northeast

they'd have to drive through Delaware, "The Toll State" :evilgrin:

[electprogdems]

20. how about if I live somewhere where extreme weather is

uncommon, like the pnw? Can I complain now?

The commute home tonight has me shaking. :scared: :scared:

[BreweryYardRat]

21. I bitch in the summer, thank you.

Florida summers. Ugh.

And I will be moving as soon as I graduate.

[TK421]

31. I know all about Florida summers

I would much rather freeze like I am now

[Breeze54]

22. I'll bitch about the fucking weather, if it's hot or cold, if I want to!

:P

And I'll bitch about the fucking snow and the fucking ice in my coat pockets and the ice on my car and the tree branches falling down and the idiot drivers in SUV's with four wheel drive that can't drive worth shit skidding all over the roads because they drive to fast on the fucking ice covered streets because they have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, don't you know? , so get out of their way! They're special! And I'll bitch about the people whom have lived in snow country forever but when they hear the word 'snow', they clog all the grocery stores for tons of food, as if the fucking snow storm will never end and they're afraid of starving to death and they have to park where it says Fire Lane because they might melt walking to the fucking car with their tons of food that they just have to have to survive the storm!! :grr:

:rofl:

:toast:

[Skittles]

36. f***ing Texas weather

I'm bitching all the time :D

[PVnRT]

23. Toll roads, DuPont, etc.

/obligatory

[evlbstrd]

24. Alright.

If a tornado takes out my house, not a word about it. Promise.

[no name no slogan]

26. You can go

to hell

[DarkTirade]

27. ... what if I just got here this month? :P

I keed, I keed. I've spent the last 20 years bitching about the Florida heat, I sure as hell ain't gonna complain about the cold once I finally got out of there.

[LynneSin]

28. Guys - I was having fun - didn't you see the HIDE smilie

:cry:

[TK421]

33. Did you get any snow, LynneSin?

We just got a dusting Sunday, then came the freezing rain. I love it, though...I would rather be cold than sweat my ass off

Were the toll booths frozen?

[GOPisEvil]

29. I DON'T like snow, and I live in Central Texas. Why do I bitch?

Because when visiting my lovely SO in Central Washington, the goddamned snow up THERE caused Snoqualmie Pass to be all fucked up, causing me to miss my flight. So, I had to get a hotel room ($), miss a day of work (so much for my lovely vacation schedule), and pay for another day of storing my car ($), not to mention the additional meals ($).

So, fuck you snow!

Yeah, I know the risks, but my honey is too damn wonderful for me not to visit all the time.

[Swede]

30. Like hurricanes in New Orleans and fires in LA?

Just move people.

[Release The Hounds]

32. Snow rocks

:headbang:

[femmocrat]

34. I love the snow. It's the heat and humidity from May to October that I can't stand.

Snow is beautiful and it doesn't make you sweat!

[RetroLounge]

35. Luckily I live in Milwaukee and it never snows here...
