I have never ever had a snow day
Would not know what it feels like.
Oh, wait, back in about 1985ish give or take I remember flurries and snow pellets. I remember my daughter out running around barefoot in a skirt trying to catch the flakes with her tongue. It was not cold enough to require a coat, just a freak happening.
Otherwise, only ever seen the snow actually fall once. I was in NJ and they had a freak snow storm. Sat in the hotel bar watching the snow come down horizontally in the wind. Caused havoc with the airport when I flew out the next morning (snow was mostly gone but all the people who had their previous days flights cancelled were in a panic) 1/10 would not recommend
@Cerridwyn@f00l@narfcake As long as we’re talking farm equipment, my dad grew up where a manure spreader was called a “sunshine spreader” — sort of the opposite of plowing, just like sunshine is sort of the opposite of snow.
We got a light dusting of snow but an hour north got like 3 feet over the weekend. We haven’t seen that kind of snow In a long time. That would maybe, maybe shut us down for the morning until things got plowed. School would be out for days till neighborhoods got plowed but everything else would be business as usual. Everyone around here drives big trucks or suvs with 4x4. I have all wheel drive and the snow has to be about 2 feet or little higher for me to not to be able to plow through it. We’re just used to driving in it so we don’t stop bc it snows.
Last time we got 3 feet (or more) in one day was probably 25 years ago. Everything did stop for about 3 days but everybody still drove small cars back then.
@Star2236 you’re assuming that everyone is the same people from 25 years ago and. That said people are maintaining the same equipment for something that hasn’t happened in 2 decades… I would be less sure.
Going down the freeway it’s ways people with 4x4s off the road who never learned to drive. Traction control and all lol
Just a bit of cold. Northern relatives have snow.
Our highway plow flipped over.
I am not driving in to the Meh forum today.

Just north of Salt Lake, always lots of snow in the winter. NEVER ever had a snow day.
Bunch of wimps.
@blaineg
You really think it’s safe to go driving among southerners and Californias during a freak rare snow?
*HINT: the danger isn’t the snow. It’s the drivers.
Besides, how many total coverage ice storms do you get each year?
HAH!
/giphy ice driving
@blaineg @f00l Here in SoCal, the number of accidents just about triples whenever it rains.
@blaineg well if people are ALWAYS high. It mitigates some of the extremes.
I live in Florida. I’ve never experienced one. -sadface-
/showme the experience of having a snow day but without actual snow since it’s Florida
I’m not sure whether to call that an epic fail or not.
