I spent $50 on a pair of winter boots. Farg shoveling.

Moon boots?

I wish.

A: Fancy talk for non-sailor people who want to sound like they know something about weather for "flurries."
Q: What does squall mean?

General_Failure · January 25, 2014, 11:33:09 PM

A sudden violent gust of wind or a localized storm, esp. one bringing rain, snow, or sleet.

The local news here is hilarious.

We had some ice last Friday and it was like the end of the world. Houston is mainly bridges and overpasses so it turns into a skating rink.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the same...after being in the 60s and 70s the last couple days.

Local news is showing people how to pack survival bags in case they are stranded. "and folks even gloves and hats can make a huge difference"

Then an interview with the red cross, police chief and fire chief...

holy farg....

lol wow.

The roads in my neighborhood have been covered with snow and/or ice since last tuesday.

Diomedes · January 28, 2014, 06:24:10 AM

I'm not generally one to forgive Texans for anything but could anyone reasonably expect them to understand the concept of freezing precipitation, bridges freezing, etc? For one, they very rarely experience anything like it, so they have very little opportunity to learn. And for two, they are Texans. Learning is not a strong suit.

i dont care where you live....icy roads are not to be trifiled with....its places that freak out over an inch of snow that need to be obliterated
