Almost enough for street skiing.

Let me know if you get more, I'll bring the truck, rope and skis.

Virtually the rest of the country has had a tremendous winter and here in California we've had like a centimeter of rain and blue skies virtually every day.  It is the driest year in recorded history out here.

We Southerners are beautiful, delicate, creatures....

but -like orchids- we cannot tolerate cold.  

>run around in circles

Actually, I can guarantee that there is no bread or milk on the shelves of grocery stores.  It's some sort of Pavlovian response (in)bred into us.

>rope and skis

p###y. Real men just grab onto the step bumper of (the few) passing delivery trucks.  This works FINE until you happen to latch onto one equipped with chains and the good-ol-boy driver decides to see if he can shake you off.  Great fun ...until you hit a big dry spot in the pavement.  Don't ask me how I know this.

I think I'm in l-lo-love deep like with that woman pictured.

We northerners know how to prepare for the deprivations of Winter, every fall I always lay in a couple of extra cans of SPAM, an emergency case of beer and an extra bottle of medicinal scotch just in case I get snowed in.

>that woman pictured

She is obviously currently sustaining herself and family as a hunter-gatherer. Once she finally beats a path out of the swamps and bayous and finds a Walmart and Burger King, (Do they take food stamps directly at Burger King or do you have to convert them at the grocery store checkout?)  watch her blossom.

Wow, you realize that it is snow, right? I know it's a rare thing down yonder, but enjoy it. Reassuring that Dras has his truck and rope handy just in case it gets real nasty ;)

We call it "White Death."

We had about 1.25" (3.5cm for the lazy eurotrash) so *everything* is shut down --even the local military base.

Here's a tip: If you ever want to invade the US, land on the southern VA shores during the night and spread a few bags of flour. Next morning, you'll be able to march on DC unchallenged.

But don't try a siege as we have a couple of years supply of bread & milk stored away.

>lady

BTW, that's sand, not snow, in that picture.  The internet says she's from Drastic's tribal region, SC.  Given the sand, I'm going to venture a well-educated, Redneck Tour Guide guess that she's from either the Edisto branch of the tribe or -gulp- Hell Hole.

If she's from Hell Hole, you ain't got a chance, Yankee.

>invade the US

Nah, ya can keep it for now, but note taken if we ever plan to sail the viking ships over there..

Yep, she looks like a local.

And just to be clear, the South is definitely full of idiots when it comes to snow and driving, but some of us relish the opportunity for some lawless driving with a bottle of Jack and 4WD. (A winch is a plus.)
