This is fake, it doesn't snow in the south.

It was good acting though.

Yet.

The weather, she is a strange mistress.

Yes it does.

 

"The South" i was referring to is anything south of the Mason-Dixon line.  You know... The American Revolutionary South...Where most of the significant battles were fought.  Not Texas, the geographically most southern state.

I know, I was just trying to make a funny.

He means the racist south, Spleen.

He means the racist south.

So, if the south is so racist, then why does the north turn "white" in the winter......?

[Silver_rose]

that's what it's like here when it floods

Yes Gol... because it's still 1960 in America, and i wish i didn't have to share a water fountain with you.

The last time we had a bit of a flood where I live people hardly even slowed down their day.

It sort of pales in comparison to four feet of snow and icy blizzard winds strong enough to push you over.

We Canadians get weather that is so varied and angry that we have the ability to deal with damn near any natural calamity.

 

We don't, however, get many earthquakes.

There has only been one in my life that I was present for, and I slept through it, so there is that.

Could be worse, UK is a bit of a laughing stock (or we feel like it is) because we cannot function in weather we have been getting nearly every year since records began. When it snows the motorways comes to a complete halt and we usually lose some insane number in the billions of £s in regard to our economic activity just flat lining. On a trip from Leicester around the Midlands, back to London, my train was delayed the best part of 45 minutes (because the original train I was taking got cancelled) because there was about half an inch of snow fall. Oh and then we got moving and some gangrenous little shits started wandering around the railway ahead of us. We should have just run them down imo.

 

Oh and when it rains, a lot of people tend to do die because we don't know what flood prevention is. Xiaolian can tell you more about that than me because Devon seems to get it every single bloody time there's more than 2mm of precipitation.

 

We're shit, guys.

In my area of Texas, we drive around in hurricanes, quite literally. In 2005 I believe, it snowed for the first time in some huge amount of years. <2 inches shut down the entire city. It's ok though, because there were awesome surfer snowmen.

[Bowsette]

On the flooding side of things, it's mostly because (in my area at least) there's a lot of farmland that doesn't have proper drainage, or are at the bottom of hills. To add to this, our drainage systems in towns and cities isn't designed to handle heavy waters, so a day of continuous rain can block the drains and cause a lot of issues that way.

 

The problem with snow here is that we don't get it enough, I think. Other countries get it guaranteed, but if I recall rightly last year was the first time we had snow (in Devon) for about 5 years prior. Because it's such an uncommon event nobody knows how to deal with it. It just happens, then the government/councils kind of go "oh hey it's snowing what do we do for this"

[Calvary]

We've had snow in Hertfordshire every year since 2008-2009 and the council still doesn't know what to do though. It's crap.

[Mister Sympa]

New Hampshire is right there with Canada.

Flood? Check.

Six feet of snow? Normal.

100+ degree Summer? Yup.

Teeny earthquake? OHMYGOD, WEGONNADIE!!!

 

Seriously. We had one at work once, and like the entire crew had a meltdown (myself included), and one woman from Puerto Rico and previously California was like, "Bitches, please. A shelf wobbled a bit. Nothing even fell over."

When I lived in Barrie there was one winter where it snowed every day for a month.

We ended up with somewhere around six feet of sitting snow covering the whole city.

The buses still ran relatively on time and the whole city didn't really slow down at all.

And I read that years previous were even snowier.

As in it was common for winter to bring enough snow for entire houses to be buried right up to the eaves trough so people had to dig their way out of their house or exit through the second story windows and simply walk straight off their roof on to the snow.

That is the earthquake that I mentioned before.

I slept through it.

Though I have slept through natural disaster sirens, and a tree falling on my house right over top of my room.

Thunder storms also soothe me and make me sleep like a baby, so I may just be wired oddly.

[Benihime]

Not wierd, I sleep through hurricanes.
