We had a good blizzard ...Just about once a decade. We had a good blizzard in '93, a couple of hours of snowfall in '96, and some light flurries back in '11 that didn't stick. Even if snow falls, it's always part of some abnormal system, and so as soon as the temperature spikes back up (at the end of the day, usually), it melts. It's already started to melt, but we saw two days of it..by the weekend we'll hit 30 celsius / 70 Fahrenheit and it'll be history. <br /><br />Yes, so...mentally and infrastructurally, we're never ready for snow. The only snow chains down here are the ones on-the-road truckers happen to be carrying with them! <br /><br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-72123034201957860152014-01-29T15:26:19.437-06:002014-01-29T15:26:19.437-06:00I take it that it doesn't snow there often?I take it that it doesn't snow there often?CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.com
