Snowstorm in San Francisco!

Post by mr1in6billion »

okay okay.. it's not really a snow storm. It was more like a handfull of lighting bolts followed by five minutes of light hail. But whatever. Considering we have the blandest weather in the world, we'll take it.

CRAZY!!! Look at how much there is!! You can barely make out my car! (tho look at that wheel gap... the flash makes it even more ugly)

MY LAWN (partly shown here) IS FROZEN. Look how much snow (read: pansy hail) there is. I even got hit by a snowball when I opened my front door. (karma got my friend back when he slipped on the frozen stairs. haha. I should have filmed that).

Being kids we couldn't leave a dirty car without our mark.

Hahaha.. Unrelated, but I thought it was funny. Who knew that "Stair 3" would be so complicated that it would take up 3 lines in brail. haha.. .... .......... i'm tired.. it's too early/late..

you guys made the Pennsylvania local news. They were showing the pile up in Salsilido. Nothing but a line of smashed beemers, benz, and ever other expensive car. My heart was really bleeding for them :twisted:

It hasn't snowed here (Augusta, GA) in about 3 years or so. I think I still lived with my parents (about 4-5 years ago) last time I had enough snow to build a snowman. People get stupid when it snows here though....

Here too. Shovelling the driveway or shovelling the entranceway so you can get into or out of the house to begin with. It's a real bummer when the only way to find the car is by the antenna sticking out above a pile of snow. Or when my 12hp snowblower has to make a double pass down the same route because of the depth. Ya, I sometimes get stupid when it snows here too and say to myself, why the hell don't I move to somewhere where it doesn't snow.

People get real stupid when it snows here. There were tons of accidents due to ice/slush, mainly because no one slows down for it. They just treat it like rain. Just outside the city there was a 22 car pile up resulting in two deaths. One guy in the article put it nicely (after becoming part of the accident), "I thought it was raining. I didn't think it was snow because I never experienced snow".
