taks Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 The last 3 or 4 years have been really mild in the Chicago area. We get one big storm a winter nowadays. Non-white-X-mas, motorcycles in December, etc. st. louis, too. same here, actually. Before that winters meant that the streets would look like trenches from all the snow pushed to the sides. in '79, when i was 11 in the 6th grade, we were off for an entire week once because of a 27" snow storm. much more snow back then. Global Warming, dumb luck, whatever, it's a nice change of pace. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nah, just the ever changing chaotic system known as "the climate." taks comrade taks... just because.

kirottu Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I wouldn't want to go skiing. Too many trees can just leap at you and kill you while enjoying yourself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have ever even been skiing at all? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, but I heard stories. Stories that would chill a man to his bones. Poor Sonny. If there was to be something that killed him it should have been Cher. But no, it was a vicious tree that leaped at him while he skied. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, I thought you spoke about masturbation.

Darque Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thread pruned a little. This thread seems to be about snow, not any single poster.

taks Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 well, as predicted it is all melting. it's still like 4-wheel terrain on all the side streets (i actually had fun driving home last night, and to work this morning). i was just outside for a quick smoke wearing a t-shirt. it's only 40 F here. gotta love the altitude and dry weather (i.e., even when it's cold, it does not "feel" cold). taks comrade taks... just because.

I'm the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 hehe... i'm fortunate enough to tan easily, so burns are rare. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I burn very easily. I usually get one big burn in late spring and once it's gone I usually have a fairly good tan. Still burn fairly easily though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oerwinde Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I really don't know which is worse. The snow or a constant 3 to 4 day drizzle of rain. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Late Response: Snow. I love the rain. It makes work less busy and the sound helps me sleep at night. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 We're getting our first real snow today. It started at about five, and now at one in the morning there is at least a good six inches on the ground. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
