[ex-commish 490]

Is this the real deal? Or will it be another washout

I hope it is a washout.....

[LCFD968 10]

It shouldn't be the National Weather Service.. it should be National Dont Have a Clue About Weather Service

[Guest alsfirefighter]

It gets updated every so often, but I went to NOAA's weather site at: www.weather.gov and thought it was pretty interesting that almost the entire country was colored with some form of advisory. I have never seen the map taken up with that many colors, etc.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I hope this one isn't another letdown.

[Tapout 42]

Yeah, bring on the snow! I need SOMETHING to get me into the holiday spirit. Nothing else has worked yet and I'm literally running out of time. Ba fricking humbug.

LCFD, wher'd you get that photo? It's that HYSTERICAL terrorist puppet guy, right? LOL!

[eike1701 1]

Let it snow. That will get me out of shoping

[CAM502 6]

Bring it on baby!!!

I gotta work anyway so might as well make it interesting...besides I love snow it makes me feel like a kid again!!

[DOC22 1]

Let's NOT have this stuff!!! It should only fall on Ski Slopes!!!!

[firemoose827 324]

Let's NOT have this stuff!!! It should only fall on Ski Slopes!!!!

Amen DOC!!! Those of us who have to plow 24/7 while it falls dont so much like it anymore!! LOL There was a time I used to LOVE snow...Skiing, sledding, snow ball fights, building a snow man with the kids...now I have to plow and shovel non stop...UGHHHHHHH

I was so told that the link didn't work and I see now why.

Here it is in the correct usable format:

Great

Upperclass Dumba**es in their luxary SUVs driving around saying "I have 4WD & can go anywhere". Most of them don't realize 4wd gets you going but does nothing to help you stop. This will be a fun day.

[SageVigiles 1,194]

True it is. For some reason people don't understand that 4 wheel drive doesn't matter when all four wheels have no traction... You could have 8 wheels, but if none of them have grip, you are going to have an unpleasant trip.
