Greetings from Sunny Florida! [OC]
Today, I saw real snow in my hometown for the first time ever. Florida's previous record was 3 inches in 1895. Today, we received about 6-7.5 inches of snow. And - I can't believe it - it's still there right now!
The implications of this are of course kind of terrifying, but seeing everyone so excited and playing outside has been nice. I've watched people introducing their pets to their first snow, making snow angels, playing with makeshift sleds. I've heard people cheering and having fun all through my neighborhood.
People are happy to be off work. Even the Waffle Houses are closed. There are no cars on the road. It's a nice little respite during a particularly horrifying time. I know it's a symptom of something much worse to come, but it's beautiful anyway.
Ohh, wanna trade? We have a surplus of fire over here.
Once again the free market solves everything
Watch out for all the Yankees who’ve moved down and assume they know how to drive in snow because they come from someplace that gets snow all the time. What they don’t realize is in places where it rarely snows we invest very little in snow removal and pretreatment, which can result in a very different experience than what they’re used to!
They'll be busy telling everyone "dOeS thiS LoOk likE gLoBal WaRmInG tO yOu?"
Luckily, there are barely any cars out right now. Almost everything is closed, even Waffle House, which is kind of a big deal.
2 hurricanes and more than 6" of snow?!? We haven't even got 6" TOTAL for the year yet in northern Iowa.
Fitting with crusty Cheeto withdrawal of Paris climate agreement
Feel bad for all the people who are about to have frozen water lines. That's going to suck.
To anyone outside of the US south shit has to be really fucked up for Waffle House to close for any reason. The location has to effectively be inaccessible
OP if you are concerned about frozen water lines a couple of tricks are to leave cabinet doors open under sinks or leave faucets cracked open so water trickles out slowly. If you have access panels to crawl spaces that contain water lines leave those open too.
goddamn you guys have more snow than we do in finland where usually at this time of year we should have a lot!
south finlander talking
nope, north
More snow than I've seen all winter in western Canada.
same here in northern cal. not even an inch this winter. just dry sunny weather.
7" in the Pensacola metro. Lost power for 6 hours last night, had to use candles to warm our bedroom.
Hiked to the creek during the storm. Lucky my dumbass didn't fall in. This much accumulated in the time it took me to take a piss and snap a couple of pics. It poured like that for 7 HOURS.
My Filipino wife was doing back flips, never seen snow before.
Damn, imagine hell freezing over and a bunch of them still don't get the message
Bruh why does florida have more snow than sweden 💀
So that's where our snow went this year! Darn!
Insane.
Chat are we cooked?
I live in Wisconsin and have a co-worker that lives in the general Tallahassee area. She sent me some photos of her making snow angels. She has a LOT more snow on the ground than we do.
It's rather disturbing.
