Default The Iceman layeth the smack down!

The news has been reporting .5" of ICE in my city. Haven't been out of the house the whole day. Big branch fell in my backyard about 1' from my house. No one was hurt and doesn't appear to be any damage. Lucky, lucky.

I thought this was going to be a thread on professional wrestling. Lucky you. Wish we were getting some bad weather.

I thought it was another thread about Top Gun being a movie with homoerotic undertones.

We're getting quite a bit of snow and ice here too.

This is one of the reasons I enjoy living in Miami. Down here, "cold" is anything below 65.

I'm dreading the weather I'll encounter by going to school somewhere in the north next year. It'll be a tough adjustment, considering I have never seen snow before.

PA, I love the south too. It's 76 today with southerly breezes off the ocean. I've got the windows open. I've seen snow, but it's been a long time ago!
