I bet you're really regretting moving to paradise about now.

You know Craig, snow is definitely a rarity here, and I was actually hoping for some. All of it is to the north of us, so we just get cold, (around 40ish) rain, and misery. I really am disappointed that we got nuthin'. North Ga, and Atlanta even, got a good dose. Maybe Spence will make a snowman and send us a pic!

Don't get me wrong, I've stayed in the south for a reason. But a little snow once every 10 years would be cool.

You say it's pretty after 3" but then it turns into 5" and you start thinking "ok, that's good. It can stop now", then it turns into 8" and you are starting to get sick of it and wishing it would stop, next thing you know you have a foot of snow and forecast for more. You are hating life about then.

Uh...no. The last time I made a snowman was about 20 years ago. Woke up on a Saturday and did a triple-take looking out the windows: About 12" of snow on the ground. Daughter was about 10-years-old at the time and woke up early. Of course she just had to go out in it to play, and I had to go with her.

25 degrees, no boots, just shoes and socks, a little windy, and within 30 minutes I was frozen. Of course daughter wanted to stay longer outside, and I was miserable for most of the day. It's been 20 years, and I still haven't warmed up....

So you back up into a parking space with the wheel cocked left to get the rear to turn right, and then you turn the wheel hard left to straighten it out and have the wheels facing the proper direction for a photo?

You make me laugh. This kid can go fast whenever she wants, she's not gonna "slide" into a snow photoshoot.

Reversing with front wheel drive is fun too.....180s with a pop of the gas pedal and a crank of the wheel.
