5. It's 1 degree out.
Two nights ago it was -28 with the wind chill.
No thanks.
Winters like this are why God invented whiskey.
Drunken idiots like you are what keep the bottlers of it in business.
Self absorbed ass wipe.

Drink up, Will! Kill those remaining liver and brain cells!
I'd call him an idiot, but I think I'll go with 'subhuman' today.

What's he worried about, it's not like he has a job to go to or anything.

Pitt, Pitt, Pitt. Don't blame the winter. Yours is the hand that tips the bottle.
What is your excuse during the summer, rummy?
You should ask the little missus how she feels about sleeping next to your warthog-smelling ass.

Maybe Boston needed a culling. :fuelfire:

3. Time to go sledding...

32. Unless your city has banned sledding...
The city council in Boone, Iowa, had to shell out $12 million in 2011 to a sledder who collided with a concrete cube at the bottom of a hill. Omaha, Nebraska, had to pay a family $2.4 million. Other cities quite literally don’t want to follow suit, and understandably so. It’s reminiscent of the controversial safety overhaul many U.S. playgrounds have gotten over the past 25 years to prevent lawsuits. Yet the irony is that by instituting park sledding bans, cities might actually be putting their local children more at risk.
There’s no question that sledding can be dangerous. Kids—not known for their stellar judgment—are given carte blanche to fly down steep icy hills on flimsy contraptions they can’t steer or stop. They careen at more than 20 miles per hour—as fast as cars—yet they don’t have the protection of thick metal frames, or air bags, or seat belts. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that approximately 10,000 sledding-related injuries in children under the age of 14 were treated in hospital emergency departments in 2012.
That’s a lot. But by comparison, consider that trampolines caused nearly 79,000 ER-worthy injuries in kids under 14 in 2012, and television sets caused 26,000. (That doesn’t include the permanent hearing loss kids got from watching Dora the Explorer.) Sledding becomes much less dangerous when it’s done a certain way, too—and that’s precisely why these park sledding bans are a problem: Open spaces such as parks are among the safest places for kids to sled. One study found that the odds of going to the ER for sledding injuries were five times higher in children who had been sledding on the street compared with in the park.* Injuries sustained while street sledding are often much worse, too, and are more likely to involve traumatic brain injuries. But where are kids without big backyards going to sled if they can’t do it in the park? The street, of course.

48. Kids can no longer sled in parks? The dumb just makes me want to scream wildly and throw things
Our last really good snow here in Normandy was 2 winters ago. My husband tells me it used to reliably snow every winter, but that was before climate change. Today, it's 46°, unseasonably hot for mid-February. We had a few snow flurries last week which stayed on the ground for about 30 minutes. Still, it could still snow in March, even April - it's too early to call it.
after which are posted lots of beautiful sledding-in-the-snow scenes from Normandy, so that the fellow DUmmies can attain the proper level of jealousy.....
DUmmies, you've brought this upon us all. Nobody can have any fun anymore because we all live in fear of one of YOU asshats suing us when you screw up. Tort reform, people.

Rindge's village drunk had best get his ass outside and start shoveling according to his ability.

Someone should tell him there is a bottle of gin buried in the snow at the end of the driveway and shoveling his way to it is the only way to get it.

He'd look like that cartoon St. Bernard digging into the snowbank.

With his BAC he could urinate his way South melting the ice as he goes.

Snow is a bouncy told by libs.
Snow disappeared decades ago once the great glow bull warming swindle was postulated.
No snow, no sledding injuries.
