I think around 10 years ago. Yesterday STL broke the single day in March snow fall record, was second on the all time single day record, and was the 6th biggest single 24 hour snowfall event. I think the official tally was 12.4 inches. We got nearly 11 up here and Springfield, IL got 17. Surprisingly the roads are in great shape up here. I was out and about early. It's still snowing but it is not accumulating. We are near freezing
Jim freezing fog is a [expletive]. Basically everything freezes on contact with the fog so everything freezes. I've only experienced it once in my life, it is quite something to see. If the event lasted for any length of time there will be some cool pictures out of Springfield. Of course the 17 inches of snow will make things interesting anyway.

Talk to me in August.
No I don't take it for granted, but honestly, I would love to see a little snow, I miss cold weather, and I hate heat. I know, I am living in the wrong place.

What are you complaining about you just got snow. There is no way I could ever be disappointed living in Arizona. Heat feels good to me, cold feels bad. Humidity can sap it out of you, but I really doubt that 110 dry heat would even bother me all that much. And what is it - 2 months out of the year? 3 tops?
How long does it take to brush the snow off the top of your vehicle? 30 seconds? Nah, just wait until you are on the highway and let it fly off the back at the person behind you. They probably won't mind.

Definitely a rant. And, if it causes an accident the lazy @$$ who didn't clean off his/her car is responsible, assuming someone gets a license plate number.
If my car is out in a storm I am guilty as charged. I'll use my forearm to swipe off some snow and a credit card or whatever to chip enough ice away to see and off I go.

Lazy @$$
I took a broom to my car this morning and was also on my way however I could see out of all my mirrors and windows. And my head/tail lights were visible.
From selfish standpoint, I prefer this crappy weather when I'm stuck inside working and unable to enjoy it. Typically we have to start cutting grass about now.
I have to admit, I drive a big ol' SUV and I'm short, so I can't reach all the snow on top of my car. I do my best but there's still a stripe down the middle I can't get.
