    Arkansas got snow for the second straight week. We got 9 inches last week, it melted and we are getting 6 inches so far tonight. School is out and people have gone ****ing nuts. More so than usual anyway.

      I can't help but think that the last snowstorm, and the next one that will be hitting the east coast, along with the unusually severe winter weather in the south, are the next disasters that I referred to in my preemption apology thread.

      In light of this, I hope people have accepted my apology on behalf of gay people for the snowstorms.

        It works great and gadgets for it are dirt cheap. What's not to like?

          Well, we have underground utility lines anyway. I'm not sure why an area which periodically gets a lot of snow wouldn't. They're probably just cheap bastards.

            We've gone over this before.

            (1) 110v works well. Electricity is transported at higher voltages, so no real downside to 110v as far as I know.

            (2) The reason why we only bury power cables in the cities is because the population density warrants it there. Burying power cables is too expensive for the majority of the US, so we don't do it in those places. I think you'll find that the US economizes well in many areas. Europe pays insane electricity rates compared to most of the US.

              We were supposed to get another 6" or so overnight, but no sign of it so far.

                It started again overnight here, we're supposed to get another 5-8".

                Of course, despite this being smack-dab in the middle of the Midwest and we get big snowstorms every year, people are freaking the **** out.

                  Well, Columbus is no Michigan. That's for sure. Everything South of I-70 doesn't really get that much snow during the winter.

                      We may see some snow here.

                      ACK!

                        Chicago's turn today. Nothing outrageous, just about 6-7 inches down so far.

                          This may be the funniest line you have posted, MrFun.

                            We're going to get this one (it has just started here).

                            I'm supposed to be in Windsor tomorrow morning. I was given the choice of going today and staying overnight or taking my chances in the morning and having a "snow day" if travel was too dangerous. Of course, I chose option B.
