Default Let it snow!

Dude, I'm from Calgary, Alberta... we'd not even be allowed to be late for work with that little snow!

It's funny. I live out in the country north of Detroit now, and they FREAK here over like 6 inches. Closed schools, the whole deal. It's all a matter of perspective.

That said, I'm glad we didn't get it here! Have fun digging out while I sit here watching football and drinking beer!

Be glad you aren't here then. Out here, 1/2 inch of snow and the mountain roads are on "Chain-Control" and the few mountain pass freeways are subject to CHP Escorts or they close down the freeways completely.

Yeah, I'd be like "C'mon Poncharelli, I'm Canadian, don't worry about how much I've had to drink, I can drive in this crap!"

I actually moved my vette and T/A out of the garage today so that I could do some work on my old-man, winter beater today... And got the T/A stuck in the 1/2 inch of snow in the driveway. Stupid aquatred looking tires!

all of that snow is due to the "global warming" from Corvette exhaust. Right.

Maybe the snowballs interupted a hummer in the Hummer
