Snow Day
I work at a local elementary school and today is a snow day or rather a very cold day ( -18 wind chill). Still get excited about snow days! When I was a kid, I loved it when I could stay in my warm bed after Mom announced there was no school due to the weather! So what does one do on snow days? Kick back and watch TAGS! I also flipped the channel this morning and _M__y__Mother Is a Freshm__an _starring our own Betty Lynn was on! So guess it is a TAGS kind of day! What are your fond memories of snow days?

snow days
Being from the south, we didn't have many snow days but when we did they were spent sledding, making snow men, snowball fights and I save the best for last - snow cream. I never knew anybody that got hurt sledding like they 'say' they are now. I guess we were smarter that our phones back then. Now they are good TAGS watching days.

snow
Snow in N. C does happen. But living in Il these days, is so cold. It was -25 below with wings pushing it up to -40 below. On Monday the temp will be -40 below. I think the Mayberry Jail sounds like it would be a great place to stay today, with Aunt Bee feeding us some good old hot meals ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow
I know that Mayberry was in the South but can anybody remember a TAGS episode where they got a big snowstorm or even had snow on the grass. Looking out my window reminded me of this. Or maybe freezing temperatures? I just shoveled the driveway and it is cold. Maybe they just don't know what they missed. I know Mt Airy gets both on rare occasions.

Snow cone
Last Saturday I was up at my home town where a new restaurant was having their grand opening. They really did it up right with good food for sale and four different bands playing free for the crowd's entertainment. Also, the local school was doing some fundraisers. I bought a snow cone for myself and my daughter. (It was for a good cause.) They didn't have raspberry, so I got cherry instead. Thank goodness Vicki Harms wasn't around! We were able to eat all the ice and drink the syrup, too! Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Paul wasn't that snow something? Thought I was back in Alaska for a minute. We live in Fayetteville and our business was closed all but 2 days of the last 2 weeks. Glad t see the warmer weather.

Snow at NC Outer Banks
Hey, Mayberry friends. I've heard on the news that the NC Outer Banks had 4-6 of snow over the weekend. That's unusual for that area. Most of us know that's where Andy Griffith lives but Andy Taylor would probably say,Curious, Curious, or Call the (snowplow) man, or Yep, that's definitely not a rain. Larry in Lincolnton The weatherman says we may get snow again (whew!) Tues. Wed. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow Days in Mayberry
We got a few inches of snow here in Cincinnati, and it did slow us down a bit. I always think about the fact that midwesterners are amused by folks in the south dealing with snow. But at the same time, I'm sure there are folks in Michigan and Canada that are amused by us Buckeyes dealing with the few inches we received. I thought about some of the things that you would be affected by a snow storm in Mayberry Andy, Aunt Bee and Opie couldn't sit on the porch and watch the Beamon's walk by, but they could build a fire in the fireplace and sit around and admire Otis' cow mozaic over the fireplace. Goober probably wouldn't take his mother for a drive in his newly washed car, but maybe he could bring her over and have Aunt Bee teach her how to make pickles?? Barney might not want to ride his motorsickle and be a checkpoint chickie, but maybe he could take up weightlifting to stay active. I was thinking about the guy who went in Walker's drugstore and showed his muscles off to Miss Ellie. Reckon he had some weights Barney could borrow? I guess the fun girls and Ron Bailey couldn't ride through town in their convertibles, but I reckon Fletch might take them for a ride in his truck. I think they could all fit in the cab, don't you? Anyone else have any thoughts?? Anita Carpenter One of Cincinnati's biggest TAGS Fans!!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Fw: Snow and Welcome New Members
Welcome to the new WBMUTBB members' Hope you enjoy the riendship and fellowship of the digest that the rest of us do. Please, don't ever be shy about adding your two cents to any dicussion. Allen, Sorry the Huntsville area has been burdened with snow. We have had some here in Virginia and more is expected. I wouldn't imagine Huntsville would have a lot of snow removal equipment. I doubt Mayberry had a lot of removal equipment either. I did hear that Mt. Airy is supposed to get some snow today. I'll never forget a trip I took in December of 1975 to Ottawa, Canada. A friend at college had invited my roommate and I to spend Christmas there is he, his mother and grandmother. When we got there they already had about 16 inches of snow on the ground and it snowed another 26 nches in the next 24 hours. They didn't close the schools for one day. Those people knew how to clean the roads and everyone had snow blowers for the sidewalks. There were ice-cicles 6 to 8 feet long hanging off their 2 story house. We threw ice packed snowballs at them to break them off in case they would fall and hit someone. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow in Mayberry
It is snowing here today where I live and it got me thinking about Mayberry and snow. I wonder if Ernest T. Bass would throw snowballs instead of rocks if Mayberry got a bunch of snow. Ornery as he is though, he would probably still throw rocks but hide them in a big snowball!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow in Mayberry?
I don't think it ever snowed (on screen) in Mayberry but I was just thinking how beautiful the town would have been with snow covered buildings. I'm home today because the snow has caused the entire Huntsville area to shut down and stay home. Looking around and the beautiful purity of the snow, I can't help but think that our idyllic would look even more Norman Rockwell esque with a few inches of snow. I wonder what problems having snow covered roads closed might cause Andy and Barney? There's something fun for those of us snowed in to think about today as we slow down from our busy lives and enjoy some quiet time at home. --Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow in Mayberry
You are so right Allan. I just love my Hawthorne Mayberry Christmas Village that I put under one of our Christmas trees each year. Just seeing all the buildings and trees with snow on them is really a sight. And then to turn off all the house lights and just have the building lights on while listening to Christmas carols is about as close to a Mayberry Christmas as one can get. I am so glad I bought every building that came out with the Christmas village. I wish they would have made a figurine of Mr. Weaver looking in the jailhouse window. That would have been the piece de résistance. Kenneth G.

Re: Snow in Mayberry
When it snowed in Mayberry. Gomer would have had snow tires on the Tow Truck and be pulling people out of the ditch. The fire would have been blazing at the Taylor home, Aunt Bee sitting by the fire rocking. Opie would be out with his friends sledding. Barney would be looking for the snow chains for the Patrol Car, they were taken out of the trunk last week when they delivered Christmas Baskets to the needy, and he forgot where he put them. Howard would be off from work and over at the Lodge with some of the other guys playing cards and drinking root beer. Earnest T would be hibernating way up in the mountains. Briscoe and the Darlins would be picking and singing, Dud and Charlene would be cuddling by the fire. Mr. Foley would be resting after yesterdays rush for Bread, Milk and other essentials. Andy would be watching the jail, which Otis was the only prisioner,sleeping it off from last night's nip. Helen and Thelma Lou would be over soon to keep the lawmen company while they waited for the updated weather forcast and if there were any emergency calls. And to see if Barney ever found the chains. Weavers store just sold out of Sleds and Snow Shovels. Reverend Tucker is happy the snow didn't fall on Sunday, He is resting in his home, looking out the window at the snow falling ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow
Allan, you are so right about the snow. Many here in southern Ohio curse it but I am one that loves it a lot. Sure, driving in it can be challenging but there is something really purifying about a blanket of fresh snow. Even a junkyard can look nice with one! And yes, there can be something very relaxing about watching snow pile up outside our window. Enjoy it while you got it, my friend! We are supposed to get 3-5 more inches ourselves tonight into tomorrow. Let it snow!

Trained Noticer Comment, Snow, misunderstanding and Tom
One thing I love to chuckle and tolerate about this Digest, is someone can ask a question..and not only do we answer they're questionwe expand it to things much beyond the original question. For example: someone recently asked this: I can only think of a few times when the weather really impacted the folks in Mayberry - can you think of more? (now read it carefully again) Not only did folks answer when weather changed behavior (or impacted folks) ..be we also listed a litany of adverse weather that did not change behavior..such as times that it rained (Quiet Sam and his son being born) The weather in that case did not change behavior..it just caused Barney to wear a raincoat. But going off of these tangents..is a little like Barney himself. Another question recently asked was mention of Snow. May favorite (an only one that comes to mind at the moment) snow reference is when Barney said to Andy Boy, you wouldn't notice a muddy elephant in a snowstorm would you? This may have been in the Quiet Sam episode as well. Andy said something like Has Sam got an elephant up at his farm Hey I need to clear something up, that I'm sure was an honest mistake This was posted on Sunday The untrained voice was really untrained in manners when he let me have it for contacting him The person posting was referring to Tom Kessel. Tom Kessel is NOT was NOT the Untrained Voice. I am,..Joe Gritton. Tom Called himself Colonel Tim's protégé'. The mistake is understandable. When Tom first came on the board, I helped him by cleaning up a lot of his messages. I also support what Allan had to do, and my hat is off to him for doing everything he did to try to make things work for him, because of his love and experience for that stars of that day, and the appreciation that many of us had for him and his stories. As one of the first to correspond with him offline, I can fill in a little of the gap for those that don't know. If you happened to say anything that appeared to disagree with him, or dispute his knowledge, (even if that was not the intent) he would write nasty notes in email to his alleged offender. It was a different side of him that I attribute (just my opinion) to an illness of the mind that he could not control...a different personality if you will. It is truly sad to see it come to his expulsion for the second time, but I'm sure there was no other way. Let's just cherish the great stories that he brought to us. Let's give thanks to Allan and Marsha Shuermmann (sp?) and others that helped bring his great stories to us while they lasted. And those so inclined, pray for Tom, and his peace of mind, and his health. He is truly one of a kind..but just does not have the capacity to be left unchecked in a public forum like this.

Central Standard Time, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com writes: I don?t have any real personal familiarity with North Carolina, other than having visited the Triangle, Chapel Hill and Asheville areas several times. But isn?t it correct that there are areas of the state where snow would be, if not completely unknown, just a light dusting at most? You picked an interesting week to ask that one: snow all over the south including 3-4 inches here in Alabama! (So if it can snow like that here I'm sure it wouldn't be unheard of in the Carolinas (which did get hit this week too). A Google search shows that not only does North Carolina occasionally experience snow (36 inches in one day in 1983, in fact) but the state even has a few ski resorts in the mountains. So snow, more than a little dusting, certainly wouldn't have been out of the question but perhaps hard to duplicate on location in California.

Re: wbmutbb and snow
To all I appreciate. The time we spend talking about Andy Griffith Show. So what you have to do to keep it that way, is appreciated. As for snow, I am seeing that , it snows in NC, and quite heavily. I remember winters as a kid that to get from Knoxville to Greensboro they would go through Fancy Gap and Pilot Mtn. They would get into some really bad icy and snowy weather. So, the show never really dealt with snow, as far as I can tell.

You know Mayberry is in NC,and we know it snows in NC. But, does anyone recall any snow or discussion of snow on the show? We know it rained and flooded and we know it was hot and cold but what about snow? When the 3.8 earthquake hit, I thought that it was a blast of arctic air hitting the building. The entire building shook. I don't know if maybe where they filmed in California maybe they did not have snow.

Snow?
Lots of you are getting snow right now and more are expecting snow. Wonder why none of the scenes of Mayberry were filmed with snow, since it is at the foot of the mountains! Wouldn't it have been a hoot to see Ernest T Bass bust windows with snowballs instead of rocks? And to have one smack Barney or Otis in the back of the head? And driving! The drivers around Mayberry were not the best in the world, so seeing them try to navigate on snow would have been a real blastliterally!! Whatcha think?
