while we're on the topic of winter weather, I have a story:

I think it was the winter of 1978. I still lived in Pennsylvania at the time. We had one of those storms Rharv mentioned, in which we got deep snow, then rain, then deep freezing temperatures that made the entire world like porcelain, only slippery. The ice on top of the snow was thick enough that an adult male's weight was insufficient to break through the crust.

Then it got windy.

A guest came to visit us. Our house was on a hill, and at that time the path to the front door was gravel not steps.

Our guest (who was on the roly-poly side) slipped on the ice and blew across the yard like a tumbleweed. Three times. Funniest thing I ever saw. We finally had to throw her a rope.

So... whatever kind of day you're having today, think about this story and feel happy in the knowledge that your day is better than this.
