F... winter

Hey Bohnzie, do you remember the one big snow storm we got at Salisbury during my freshman/your senior year, with the massive snowball fight? That had to be one of my favorite days in college.
Just about every person who lived on campus got drunk, went outside and engaged in one of the greatest snowball fights in history. People filled laundry baskets with pre-made snowballs and used dorms to flank behind the masses. At one point there was a group of about 100 people charged the quad while blowing those big plastic horns (like The Horn guy at Caps games) to signal their attack. It was like a scene out of Braveheart or something.
That was back when I actually looked forward to a good snowfall. I miss those days.

Took my wife almost 90 minutes to get from Frederick to King Farm in Rockville this morning (22 or so miles). Took me a while to get around Frederick at 8:15, but by 10:15, when taking my daughter to the doctor, the main roads were just wet, and by 11:15, even the secondaries that had seen plows were decent. I'm just wary of the ice we'll see tonight once the sun goes down.

But yes, anything over 2 inches and the DC area goes into snow-anarchy. If you aren't driving too slow causing people to slide, you're turned on your roof like a turtle because you figured the $60k SUV you bought is invincible to ice and snow. Or you take your vette out because it's the only vehicle you own and get stuck 17 times within 2 miles of your house.

Or call out for the day or use public transportation.

Yes I do remember this...there were several snowball fights all over campus. We had one between Chesapeake and St. Martin's...where us on the 2nd floor walkway of Chesapeake had a distinct tactical advantage of holding the higher ground. I sat on a stool, beer in hand (non-distinct cup of course), throwing snowballs down at passersby. Definitely fun times.

I was on the GW northbound during one snowstorm...took me 35 minutes to get from the Memorial Bridge to just past Spout Run. Why? Because some idiot in his corvette was trying to get up the steep incline after Spout Run. Spinning his wheels the entire way...dumbass should have stayed home.

I saw something similar today with this guy on Powder Mill road. I happened to be right behind him. I got around him and made it to the top of the incline. In my rearview he was completing a 180.

And yes it was a Vette.

71 here in Austin today...78 tomorrow, and 80's by the weekend. Hopefully you northeasters will get some warmth soon.

Always love that. People just don't realize that four wheel drive doesn't mean shit when it's ice. It's just to truck through deep snow and mud. Those people always piss me off.

4 wheel drive just means that all 4 wheels will be spinning and sliding on the ice... ;)

I'm on Spring Break, which means I (annually) get to drive home through a lake effect blizzard.

Only place in the world where Spring Break provides more accumulation than during winter break: Grand Rapids.

You know, as I sit here and polish off mt last glass of Blacksone Pinot Grigio I feel the need to vent.

To the SOB who fails to clean off of the top of his Van before he goes speeding down 495 @70 MPH with a ski resort on top of his vehicle...FU!

As if your blizzard like dusting is not noticeable by those of us who unfortunately had to ride behind your blinding wrath...FU!

Next time why dont you spare us the trouble and put your "Mystery machine" in the ditch so at least we all have something to gawk at, instead of being blinded by it...FU!
