"In Buffalo NY, a light dusting of snow hit the area... They *might* even have to delay school openings."
Last weekend a major snowstorm hit the east coast, panic filled the streets, and death was in the air. Well, at least that is what all the news programs made it sound like.
Why is it that every single time there is a snowstorm hitting an area everyone runs to the local store and stocks up on canned goods and water? It is only a foot of snow. I know that maybe you will be stuck home for a few hours, but I don’t see the water treatment plant shutting down.
I love how everyone runs out and gets a new shovel. When there is a major snowstorm, the news crews always hurry over and get that shot at Home Depot where every idiot is buying a shovel. What do these people do? Throw away their shovels as soon as they’re done shoveling?
Also, I was home and not one kid asked for money to shovel my driveway. God, today’s kids are soft. If there was a shoveling video game with online multiplayer they would be all over that crap in a second.
Places like Buffalo NY, where they get a foot here or there, every other day, they have to be laughing at us. The news predicts 6-8 inches and everyone starts to panic… meanwhile people in Buffalo don’t even notice when there is 6-8 inches of snow on their car. Speaking of snow and cars, the special windshield washer fluid that can help melt ice… why can’t it just be THE windshield washer fluid in the first place? One fluid, taking care of all problems.
And in closing you snowstorm speed demon assholes… just because you have 4WD does not mean that you can go 50 mph in the snow. Every damn time I see a Jeep Cherokee in a ditch during a storm, I laugh. Yeah, my Altima has 2WD, and handles like shit in the snow, but I’m not in a ditch… am I, Mr. Jeep?

You’re right… I haven’t had a kid come to my door asking to shovel in years! We used to pair up and charge $20 per driveway; which is a bargain if you ask me. If we got out of the house by 9 am we could hit 7 or 8 driveways by about 1 pm. Then we’d have the whole rest of the day to blow $80 on food, video games and baseball cards. Good times!

Well Yes I think the world has gone mad Global warming I dont think so. UK we have had a few inches and the local service`s can`t cope what do we pay then for holidays and evening out with ladies of the night. Get this sorted out other countries cope why can’t we it is 2010 snow and ice should have no problems.
