Or no sliding down a hill! No snowballs - but that is probably a good thing!!
I like my snow either on the mountains or in photos...I don't want to walk in it or drive through it.
Ireland comes to a standstill whenever it snows!
Yah...like California, and the southern states.
I learned how to drive in snow when I was 13...but that doesn't mean I want to do it now!
At least if you did drive in the snow - in Ireland there are no police checkpoints in icy weather, so drunk drivers can take their chances on the slippery road (I presume there is a downside....)!
In the Rocky Mountains, check points are up year round, on weekends and holidays. Lots of drunks, lots of show-offs. A little weather isn't going to slow them down...but a night in the tank will...
They are an arrogant crowd, those boy racers - and they drive cost of car insurance upwards.
No point telling them either that they will cause an accident because "it won't happen to them".
It's been everywhere from the 50's to
the 30's, cold enough to snow & then
warm enough to melt it the next day.
We celebrate on the eve.
I've had three invitations for Christmas this year (normally, I get none) and I can't accept any of them for various reasons. So I'll be here...;o]
The girls in the West at that age are often as bad as the boys. We like to drag race on the country roads...;o]
Any hand brake turns?
Awwww, I was about to invite you!!
You know where to find me if you change your mind...;o]
We got one invitation... from our older
brother. We're supposed to drive over
& spend Christmas day with him & his.
Where do I find you? I forget...
That sounds good! Wasn't he at your place last year?
I'm in ARIZONA!!!
I know that, I thought you meant somewhere in cyberspace.
Note to myself: Stop inferring abstract conclusions from straightforward statements.
Yeah. The only problem is they live
two hours away now & I get carsick.
LOL!
My brain is in cyberspace today...I can't remember anything!
