Let it snow?

Sticksoffire is reporting a possibility of snow falling today in Tampa Bay. To say the least, I’m not happy.

For those of you who come from the sub-arctic, Hoth-like northern states and now live in Tampa, you’ll most likely share my sentiment. You remember how beautiful the initial snow fall is… and how tragic everything from that point forward becomes. You remember the apocalyptic-like conditions while waiting for salt trucks (that I bet Tampa doesn’t have). You remember school closings and not being able to make it into work because there’s 2 feet of snow on the ground.

I fled Detroit to get away from the slippery white mess that is snow. There were times I’d completely lose a car in overnight snow. Other times, I’d sit in traffic for 3 to 4 hours at a time to travel 5 miles, just waiting for the delicate balance of chaos and carnage from people who think that four wheel drive equates four wheel stop. Ugh. Don’t want that here.

I present to you a picture of my last winter in Detroit. This was after the streets were clear the night before, and suddenly, when I woke, there was over 2 feet of snow on the ground. I’m the blob in black attempting to free my PT Cruiser from it’s icy grave.
