@KanadeTenshi: Was that supposed to be a metaphor? O.o
@Erik Destler: Whenever I visit my grandparents in the winter, it's usually around 50 degrees (they live in texas). Then again, we haven't gotten any snow up until yesterday and I live in New England.
It seems Global Warming has taken quite the effect, eh?

Regardless, a similar-styled hit is what you get if you disobey. (I have a family witth high expectation) There's military conscription here, so nobody asks you questions. Too much crap and say hi to mlitary jail.

professor plum December 21st, 2010 1:19 PM

I know! Usually it's like 50 F or colder at this time of the year where I live.
And, I'm just like.. D:

What am I supposed to do with my cute winter clothes? ;_;
We'll probably get really cold weather in like February or March. D:

I definitely believe in Global Warming. I mean, I think it occurs naturally, but I also think that we helped it go a little faster. >>;

Are you planning on wearing a santa suiit for girls that your winteer clothes are so cute?

Rafflesia December 21st, 2010 1:25 PM

[jq]But, still. 80 F in December is ridiculous ~_~; It's never been like this before. D:

Oh, well. Such is life in Texas.[/jq]
It's only 58° F in Louisiana, 22° is a pretty drastic jump between neighboring states.

donavannj December 21st, 2010 1:27 PM

It's not as much global warming as it is a general climate change, with weather patterns being thrown out of whack.

What are you even talking about..?

Anyway, I just looked at the ten day forecast.

Only in East Texas does the weather range from 80 to 49~

I know, right?! Texas is just crazy. XD

Spherical Ice December 21st, 2010 1:34 PM

IT'S SO FRICKING COLD HERE.

professor plum December 21st, 2010 1:36 PM

Give me some of your cold, now >:o

Ninja Caterpie December 21st, 2010 1:37 PM

I KNOW, RIGHT, ICE?

wait, that can't be right, you're in Engy-lando...

Spherical Ice December 21st, 2010 1:39 PM

Yeah but my city has crap cold. No snow. >> Just ice and frost. While the rest of the UK is under two inches of it we get two milimetres of frost and ice. IT SUCKS.

butterbiscuit December 21st, 2010 1:40 PM

I so want to live in Texas. :x
Best place ever.

That was what it was for us last year, which is strange for our area but this year we actually got some snow. :D

AshPikastar December 21st, 2010 1:48 PM

It's not that cold here at all. There is a nice cold breeze outside and the sun is still bright. It's a nice weather over here right now.

donavannj December 21st, 2010 1:49 PM

We have more than enough snow here. I suggest those who want snow come to Minnesota with vehicles equipped with freezers and start filling those freezers up with snow. We've got plenty to go around.

professor plum December 21st, 2010 1:53 PM

I would hate to live up in the north for that reason ~_~;
I don't really like snow that much. It's such a hassle. And freezing weather is so scary to drive in. ;_;

But you live in MINNESOTA. So why wish the snow in another place?

Leiecester sucks. We have nothing cool, except for a Space Centre which once you've seen once is boring (except for when they hold Dr Who conventions ofc).

Sweet Candace December 21st, 2010 2:00 PM

I'm very fickle when it comes to the weather. I hate the extreme cold and extreme heat and would love to live in a place where it's comfortable all year long.

donavannj December 21st, 2010 2:01 PM

I'd rather be here than have to pack everything up because of a hurricane every few years, but that's just because blizzards aren't often strong enough to destroy/maul buildings like hurricanes are.

Ice driving is nightmarish at first, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy. Still wouldn't recommend going over 40 MPH, though, with light ice and slush, and no more than 20 MPH during an ice storm. And 4 wheel drive doesn't help any with ice on the roads.

AND WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO TO CAUSE YOURSELF TO FISHTAIL EVERY 15 FEET?! O_O;;

I hear ya!

Usually during the summer, I always say how much I wish it were winter, and during the winter, I say how much I want it to be summer already. Spring is most certainly the most fitting season around here. Unlike other places, the weather is perfect, we get a decent amount of rain and storms, and enough sun. No tropical storms or anything like that to worry about, no sir.

professor plum December 21st, 2010 2:20 PM

I know driving a truck can make things different. Even when it's raining, one has to be careful to avoid fishtailing. At least, I have to.
It's terrifying when it occurs, tbh. D:

And, hurricanes are pretty rough, I guess. But, it depends on what you grow up with XD

Oh, I love spring weather...but I think I prefer autumn. It's much prettier.
But, then again, I love spring colors.
Then again, I simply just love everything about autumn.

donavannj December 21st, 2010 2:24 PM

What you gotta do with a truck is to put weight in the bed with something that's not gonna move like sandbags so you don't fishtail as much.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 21st, 2010 2:28 PM

I grew up dealing with snow every winter and I hate it. Reduced traction, reduced vision, increased stopping distances... it makes driving dangerous. I don't understand how anyone could actually want a "white Christmas"...

professor plum December 21st, 2010 2:29 PM

I don't know where or how I could get sandbags/etc. I don't think it'd be practical. It's whatever. lol.

It's only practical if the roads are wintry. Or if you're in an area prone to wintry weather.

Spherical Ice December 21st, 2010 2:37 PM

So is fishtailing tailgating?
