24. The reason I left Florida is because I was sick of year-round summer.
I live in North Georgia now, where at least there are seasons.

3. I have lived mostly in WI ever since I was able to drive and
without fail, the first big snowfall of every year turns into "douchebag in a ditch day" (myself excluded of course :P )

14. I came here to say THIS
Cripes, first snowflake gets spotted and everybody goes fucking insane, I swear! It's either 1) slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit, leave 1/2 mile between the car in front of you, and drive WAY too cautiously; or 2) speed around like a moran, dodge in and out of traffic, and tailgate, tailgate, tailgate!!!

There is no happy medium. NONE.

21. That's definitely true for central NC.
We hardly see snow. Yes we have it but sometimes just the threat of ice that day will shut the schools.

Wimps.

Mark.
