Us amateurs have some questions that require your expertise. Namely, what effect is had on star-signs and the whole pagan calender by being in the southern hemisphere.

After all, if what is currently known as Christmas was stolen from the festival of the winter solstice, is there much point celebrating it in december for those of us down under. Since our winter solstice is in June, do we shift the whole calender by 6 months? or is it more complex than that?

We only get snow here once every couple of years, and it only sticks once in a decade maybe. I know you guys get sick of it, shoveling it and driving in it and all, but it would be cool if you could send a little of it down our way.

It gets somewhat cold here in the winter, though not nearly what you get (mid 20s [F], cool enough for me to wear a hoodie). The last real snow we had that was an issue was The Blizzard of 1993 (I am not joking, that is what it is called to this day).

Then again, if we get even a little ice on the streets, the city shuts down (Atlanta) and they dump a bag of salt on each little patch. *sigh* Most people down here really don't know how to deal with it, and would do horribly if'n we had to drive in it at all.

I must say you guys in the south are always amusing to watch on TV whenever you get a little bit of snow. Sounds bad I know, but seeing a 20 car pile up on the news always brings a smile to my face.

Unless somebody dies or something, then it is just sad.

Sweetie, I wouldn't think of direct linking. I downloaded the ones I wanted and uploaded them to my own PhotoBucket that I just discovered I can access here behind the fed firewall. They are pretty gorramn nifty if'n you ask me, and I thank you for having them up there to keep me occupied as I find yet another method of ignoring work.

This Friday is the 699th anniversary of the original Friday the 13th, the history of which is a very interesting topic to me. Maybe I will post a bit of a description in the thread for any who want to hear it and do not know it.

"Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?"

Hello, my Forsaken family. Despite my disdain for s'mores, (go figure: I like marshmallows, I like chocolate, I really like graham crackers; the combo, eh...) I find myself drawn to the thread. As if I had no will of my own.

Had our first snow today with bitter Arctic wind--thanks a frackin' bunch, Canada--pushing it along. No sticky. We, too, snicker at the Southerners what come to a standstill over the sight of it.

I personally recognize only three (count 'em: 3) holidays. All Hallow's E'en, All Fool's Day, and Friday the Thirteenth. The rest are all pretenders. Okay 4, Mardi Gras. But I've never been to New Orleans and I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to see it in all its glory.

So, 48 Hours minus a minute sounds about right to me to make this a truly international event.

We're awaiting our first flurries tonight or tomorrow.
I've lived in Georgia and Virginia. While it may be amusing to watch as people panic if a snowflake hits their windshield, it is not amusing to be out on the road while people who have no idea how to drive in snow attempt it for the first time.
It is scary.
I did love being able to sweep my walk and clear it of frozen white stuff.
I'm used to shovelling myself out of knee deep or higher. You want snow, we got snow. We'll send you some.
We went to Houston TX to visit my mother in law two years ago at Christmas. It was in the 80s. We wound up watching TV coverage of children on the beach at Galveston making snowmen. It had all melted by the next day. We are net exporters of snow and cold.
We get Lake Effect off Ontario here. I call it "Canadian Leftovers". The Arctic wind blows across Canada, hits the lake, and we get whatever's left over.
Okay, now I'm cold. Pass the s'mores please. Just one before I go to bed.
