Send some to me. Last year at this time we had almost five feet. This year we have had about 6 inches. But we still have the cold. That has not decided to leave. Ugh! It is pushing below zero numbers here. And windy. And foggy sometimes.

Would you like a picture of what 6 inches of snow doesn't look like?

we actually had pink and blue on the radar in central florida today - sleet and snow. Currently 36*. I feel like I am back in NY... and that isn't necessarily a bad thing...

do people know how to drive in that kinda weather down there? Just wondering.
Because most of the people I saw driving freaked out over a thin layer of ice on the road in areas, in GA.

Thankfully, I did not have to work this weekend, but I will find out when I go back to work on Monday. I did hear that the ice never really formed on the roadway, just became wet like when it rains. And people down here do not know how to drive when it rains anyway, so I am sure there were a few MVC's as a result of the sleet and snow today.

If they can't drive in rain imagine what a nightmare it would be if it did ice.

Mock Winter SAR Drill tomarrow with a total of 5 agencies participating (SAR, County Fire, Forest Service, Private Ski Patrol, and Volunteer Ski Patrol). Have to be up by 0400 on Sunday. Gonna be hard to get to bed and get a little sleep. Plus they are forcing all SAR folks to take on command roles that we are unfamiliar with since in real life SAR will be the last to respond to missing skiiers/snowboarders, but the agency with the ultimate legal resposibility to run the call and therefore in charge. Oh JOY!!! I get to run logistics... blah... :glare:

Indiana follows the same pattern every year:
First it gets freakin cold and the roads snow shut. Then come spring the snow melts, it rains alot, and the rivers start flooding.

Which would you all choose: Running a call in negative temperatures or sand bagging all night?
