:D Dice, I totally understand but EVERY SINGLE winter, you gotta dig out of snow. While we do get the occasional hurricane (or himmicane), the last was in 1959 here, we never have to dig out of snow. I'll take Beaufort, SC, anytime.

[Diceman]

To each his own..........
At least when the snow is gone, my house is still there.

[lakeerie]

I look at it this way, there is always a plus side in living in them areas in Fl. Where else can you live and get a new home every couple of years and all it costs ya is your deductable? Or have your home remodeled every couple of years. Dont sound bad at all to me.

[hvac4u]

i grew up in Pittsburgh, and now live in atlanta. I do not miss the snow, especially the shoveling i did as a kid!

Dad was with US Steel back then and helped sponsor Junior Achievement for years. One year they sold titanium snow shovels, dad still has his, even though he lives in south florida

electricity was rarely off, and i remember missing school only once due to snow. here in atlanta, if they forecast even a flurry, all of the bread and milk disappear from the shelves.


hey dice, got a snowblower?

[slimwoodie]

PA has a large Goat population, too ...:D

[RoBoTeq]

I just figured PA lost a bet and had to take you.

Hey Dice I much prefer Texas we don't get snow but every 14 years and then it doesn't stick. Hurricanes don't bother us much either it does however rain occasionally. I hate cold I hate cold did I mention I hate the cold.

I do however understand your liking PA my mother is from MARS.

[hvac r us 2]

I have always enjoyed the seasons changing. There is plenty to hate about snow though. Driving in it, shoveling it, the cold temps...But there are things I would miss.

New pair of gloves...10 dollars
New hat to keep bald head warm...15 dollars
New waterproof boots to keep feet dry...35 dollars

Snowball fights, sled riding with the kids, snow on X-Mas eve, and sitting in front of the fireplace with the family while it snows like hell outside...PRICELESS!

He put down his Hurrican shutters before he left. His next door neighbor stuck the storm out. He was on the cell phone with her every couple of hours. Another neighbor lose thier roof and the shingles were all over my brothers yard but the report he got said that his house was okay. Just some turned over trees, missing screens and a few shingles are gone but the felt is still in place.

Shouldn't you be packing?

[condenseddave]

Yeah, really. Is it me, or should we get some sort of award for wierdest town names?

Within a 15 minute drive, I can see the likes of Canadensis, Cresco, Analomink, Tobyhanna, Bushkill, Tunkhannock (Twp.), Blakeslee.

Going a bit further, I did a call in Wyomissing today.

How about Mauch Chunk. So bad they changed the name. To Jim Thorpe.

They get wierder the further west you go, though. No doubt about that, but in South Central, we have Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, etc.

Odd.

LOL. That's not nice.:D

[frozensolid]

We have intercourse in Florida too. Just not with farm animals. Well maybe in the panhandle, they do.

Any wimp can shovel snow. It takes a real man to cower in a closet in 150 MPH winds.

Yea, but do you have a Chokoloskee or an Ochopee or even an Okeechobee?

[condenseddave]

We've got a Mocanaqua.

And a Shickshinny.

Not to mention a Chinchilla.

[condenseddave]

Lives near the Monongahela River.

Actually, He lives near the Allegheny, and the Monongahela, and well, the Ohio. (OK, the Ohio isn't a really wierd name, but we have the Susquehanna near here to make up for it...)

[condenseddave]

Since you brought up the Okeechobee....

[Workhorse]

Well let's see, we have the Chatahochee river, Apalachacola city, Interlachen, Calusahatchee river, Greenacres, Halifax, Hypoluxo, Islamorada, Kissimmee, Jupiter, Micanopy, Pahokee, Matlacha, Honeymoon Island, Myaka River. Hell we could go on and on but... it's getting boring.p)

[condenseddave]

We have a Halifax. In fact, I think everyone has a Halifax.

We're also the honeymoon capital. So there.:p

You're right, this is boring.:rolleyes:

[muskie770]

Just down the road near the state zoo is Climax, N.C. Go down to the beach in S.C. and your in Horie county. I enjoyed my visit to Pittsburgh the summer.

[Diceman]

I guess we can thank the Ameican Indians for most of those names, at least they left something behind after we slaughtered em and drove em off huh?
And Dave you got Shamokin and Nanty Glo up there too.

At first I was bragging and explaining, but by 8pm I'm sure it will turn to complaining. You'd think they would tire of that. Might not be so bad if it didn't take so long or had some eye protection.

[spotts]

I do remember putting in an A/C years ago with a hot High School age chick that kept getting in a bikini and laying outside. The home was located on the corner of Ram and Cherry streets. I thought she belonged there.

What state doesn't have one of those????????

Also, East Stroudsburg, the closest thing to a town that e have, doesn't have a Main St.

[condenseddave]

I wanna know how we managed to hijack Dice's weather thread into a geographical version of Trivial Pursuit.

You know we just get worse and worse as time goes on.:D

Okay, then. I belonged to RSES with another refrigeration technician named Jack Frost.

And there is an electrician we work with named Bob Carpenter.

We covered most of PA's sex names a page or two ago...

[bootlen]

Lemesee. We have Yemassee, Pocataligo, Frogmore, Coosaw Island, Daufuskie Island, Dataw Island, Paulkie Island (the list goes on and on). That's just in Beaufort County!

[mattm]

I love the snow and wouldn't trade off the few months of it that we do get. It's when it rains and turns to 1/2" of ice then snows an inch on top that sucks.

[Diceman]

In time, every thread gets hijacked..........gotta go with the flow.

[Carnak]

We have a town called Hell, but if you look in Maxim August 2004, found porn, you will see that we have a "Harry Bush Trucking" company.

[Boiling Point]

Not a one up - there is a Hell, Mi. - all those times someone told you to go to Hell you could have sent them a postcard.

[hvac4u]

georgia has a monroe county......


monroe georgia is in walton county though

[condenseddave]

Was that Newfoundland, Pennsylvania where you lived?

That's right near me.:D
