RE: Peso - My own HDR
The inexperienced drivers and badly equipped cars part I do understand. Driving in snow at regular tires that irresponsible. But what puzzles me is that the schools are closed down. When I was a kid it was a lot of fun going to school in the snow. The boys had an excuse to flirt with the girls by doing the put snow underneath their clothes trick. That's a classic flirt ;-) Never did any good, but us boys thought it worked. We also had great fun by throwing snowballs in the neck of the inspecting teachers trick. Ok. This is our customs. It is kind of funny reading about others.

Re: Peso - My own HDR
From: Gonz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cool, I mean, Cold... Were your highways affected/closed? Our major overpasses were closed because they were too slick and were causing accidents. Any elevated freeways were quite treacherous. Its been worse however, I visited Austin once in the mid 90's and the whole place was a ghost town due to ice on the roads much worse than today. The same situation here. We have a ton of overpasses, mixmaster, elevated freeways and people were sliding and/or getting stuck.

That's just a handful of ice crystals ;-) Seriously. We don't call snow unless it is an inch of the stuff, or at least the ground is cowered in white. Pictures please. :) This said. I can imagine you being excited by the sight :-) Oh yes, especially the kids. No school, plus they can have snowball fights! for one winter in the 60s we lived in a remote cottage on Anglesey. We awoke one morning to find snow drifting higher than our front door. After digging us out my father tried to drive us to school (in one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A30), but we got no more than a few yards before he gave up. As I recall we were off school for about 2 weeks. Even in relatively recent years when I worked in Yorkshire it was not uncommon to be cut off in quite major towns and not be able to get to work. Wonderful stuff, snow, in excess. Regards Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
