It's snow. Pussies.
It snows so much in Rochester, there's twenty foot mountains in the parking lot that don't melt for weeks. I so wanted to drive my car right through one!
When your city doesn't have the budget to deal with it, it becomes a real problem.Quote:

Pre-emptive warning to your city: sometimes it SNOWS.
Up in Rochester where there's always a shitload of snow its easy to budget for. Go south and sometimes you have lots of snow and sometimes not. That makes it hard to set aside the right amount of money. It's really that simple.
In the Mid-Atlantic on a typical year it snows like... twice. Maybe. And even then it's less than 3 inches. These places getting this much snow plopped on them in the span of 24 hours hasn't happened in nearly 100 years. After this weekend DC will see the most snow its seen since 1844 or something.
Growing up for me snow was an EVENT, no matter how much we got. Snow falling and sticking in any real manner was something to be relished as it only happened... maybe every other year.
So this is sort of like someone from Oklahoma chiding Rochester for being ill prepared for a tornado
I know I came after the Days Of Diff (well, you were here for a minute when I joined), but I'm just being a dick. To be a dick. For no other reason. I agree, we know we're gunna get snow every year and play to that idea. I understand states that don't always get it won't be prepared. It just made me laugh in HS when I would walk to school in 3 feet of snow and hear a city in Georgia shut down cuz they got half an inch over 5 hours. Sillyness.Quote:

It's flat where I live too.
And growing up in Texas, it just made me laugh when I would walk to school past 3 miles of cotton and hear a city in New York paid a negro to work for 8 hours! Sillyness.Quote:
