John_S_in_Penna Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ah, the snowy scenes bring warm and happy memories! Even earlier than probably any of us can recall, drivers WANTEDthe roads to be completely snow-covered. With horse-drawnvehicles, runners were the winter norm instead of wheels.I read an old-timer's account, saying that when a bare spotwould appear on the road, men would shovel snow backONTO the road! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Merry Christmas to airboddy, but I'd as soon not have a white one... I wouldn't live anywhere got snow like that! The occasional 6-8" snows we get here satisfy my snow jones for many months afterward! Yeah, lot of the problem here is people don't know how to drive in it, but I've heard folks who moved here from snow country say the snow is different here. Then there's those ice storms that seem to just love Piedmont VA and NC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 It was Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, 1958 "Silent Night" performed by Shakin' Stevens & The Sunsets...done a bit up tempo but goes well with the movie. Thanks for the return well wishes and comments everybody. And thanks for the thanks Steve. And since we're on the subject of old cars, snow and driving, here's one that I've seen on here before Notice the nice calligraphy the students posses, becoming a lost "art" today... Be safe out there this Christmas season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Here is a tid bit from yesterdays news.The Month of December in Portland Oregon was/is the wettest month ever recorded. Any month !!I think they said they started keeping track in 1942, but there was a comment that it may have been the twenties.Either way, the rivers are all full or flooding. The drains are at capacity or overflowing. I have water draining across the place where I have never seen it before.Then to top it off I have my boat for sale and have a very interested buyer, all of the ramps are closed so I cant do a test drive.I have a buddy that works at a golf coarse that is flooded right now and there is a convenient ramp, however the last time he launched his boat there he ran aground and had to swim back to the clubhouse leaving his boat tied to a tree for several months before they would let him drive out there. The good side is that there is plenty of snow in the mountains and all of the ski areas are open, last year there was a shortage of snow and a terrible year for the ski industry.What a turnaround. Merry Christmas to all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Mark Simmons, Hey, thanks for the Christmas wishes. I'm not complaining and don't mean to insult you, but, a hillbilly grammar lesson. The pronoun youall, you-all or y'all is singular. The plural is youins, you-ins or uins. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all youins. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Glad to know I'm not the only Mental Floss reader here! I will also digress on "y'all". "Y'all" is plural, used to address two or more people. A large crowd of people is addressed as "all y'all". Still believe "y'all" is the greatest pronoun advancement ever to hit the English language. Every other second person plural pronoun is, well, clumsy. And "you guys" just grates on my Southern ears. Mainly because I always hear it pronounced "YOO GIES" with emphasis on "GIES". And snow like in the video grates on my Southern sensibilities! I repeat, I wouldn't live anywhere gets snow like that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
