Haha, well...about 98% of Alabama is that kind of slow, but in the 2% that I live in, its crazy. Though, I have to admit it is slower than the city I moved from 4 years ago. I remember the blizzard of '93, but the sweetness of it had dimmed since reading about what you got during it. 14 feet?!?! Man, we got 7 inches in Atlanta and we were snowed in for the weekend. Seven inches was unheard of tho, so we had some major snow days. I love the fact that when we get our rare 1/4 inch of snow, everyong is SOOO freaked out and everything shuts down for like 3 days. It cracks me up!
I have the best "going uphill in the snow" story, and since my friend who this happened to doesn't post here I can tell it, lol. It was about 3 years ago. I had spent the night with my two best friends Nate and Amber (brother and sister), and the next morning it had completely iced over really thick. We don't get snow down here per se, but we sure get at least one hell of an ice storm every year. Nate had to leave for some reason, so he got in his tiny little old car (i dont know what it is) and started to drive up his really steep uphill driveway. I watched him as he drove up, then slid all the way down the driveway about 5 times. He then got out, got chains from his garage, put them on his back tires. He started again, but still I watched him go up and slide down about another 5 times. I looked at Amber and asked when Nate was going to realize that he put chains on the back tires of a front wheel drive car? It was so funny, and we really haven't let him live that down yet. :roflmao:
