That's almost as cold as it is here. :(

Do you get snow?

It's snowed here maybe 5 times in the 38 yrs I've lived here, only once did it last through the day though, usually melts away in 2 hrs. That one time there was enough snow to play with. In the late 80's we had a freak cold shock over night once, got down to -2. Of course it was Sat night and some hardware stores had to open emergency Sunday morning; they were all packed! I'm in line to pay for my stuff (all plumbing) and these 2 guys who obviously knew each other were talking. The one guys is chuckling and said "My damn kids knew it was going to happen. Other dude says how do you know that? Guy says wife and I wake up to the kids ice skating in the front yard, they had turned on the water and let it run all night so they could make a rink. That freeze went all the way to the coast and killed off some avocado and citrus ranches there.

It must be a shit-show when you get snow. Do people there know how to drive in it?

It is and no they don't.That one decent snow was a shit show. My neighbor at the time was from Colorado, I had spent 4 yrs in MN a short time ago and I believe we were the only ones who knew. We were watching cars spinning out on the highway laffin our asses off

I don't have snow tires on the new car yet and it makes me anxious when the roads are slick.

When it snowed in Yuba City I wanted to take my truck out with a tow strap and make some money.
