Around here, the first thing kids think (and hope) when snow starts is if school would be closed. Or more accurately, that's probably what teachers hope :-).

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
Why close a school because of two inches? To make sure the kids don't have fun in the schoolyard? I have good news today. Now we have about four inches here, and it is still snowing. It feels good, mainly because it makes me relax a bit about the world climate (don't get me wrong I'm still worried). But also because the reflections from the snow gives more light. We will not see the sun here until the 12th of February. With no snow, it becomes very dark at this time of year. About a third of the population suffers from light depressions because of this. Lack of daylight affects the chemistry of the brain, the experts tell us. Don't know if it's true, but it sure feels true to me. But, right now, that does not matter.

Re: Peso - My own HDR
Thanks for looking. I know, we got a little more last night, and now the trees are starting to lose branches because of the weight of the ice on them. I lived through a lot more snow during the blizzard of '78 in Boston, Mass, USA. I had never seen so much snow before, or after that. I think it was around 3 feet or so. rg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'm sorry to say, that's not snow. That's just a handful of ice crystals ;-) > Seriously.

RE: Peso - My own HDR
I'm sorry to say, that's not snow. 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. This said. I can imagine you being excited by the sight :-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gonz Sent: 17. januar 2007 04:30 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Peso - My own HDR Had a nice and rare subject: snow in Texas (not north).
