PhuturePriest Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 [quote name='franciscanheart' timestamp='1344451925' post='2464602'] There is this really brilliant thing we have down here in the South that we like to call "Central AC". Works wonders. [/quote] People in the north also have this device known as "Central AC". Besides, it's way easier to warm yourself than it is to razzle dazzle yourself. All you need is to throw a blanket on you or something like that to warm up, but to razzle dazzle down you have to get out of the sun, into a shaded area with wind, and you have to strip, which is highly immodest. Tsk tsk, FranciscanHeart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, by our standards. [/quote] Two or three years ago, we experienced the largest snow storm in twenty years. We had a whopping four inches of snow. It took a full twenty four hours for it to melt. What were you saying about hardly any snow? *Edit: if anyone asks, I am not an English Major Edited August 8, 2012 by Tally Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We operate just fine under several feet of snow. The state doesn't shut down unless people literally cannot dig or plow themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, hot weather is way better to travel in than cold. Northern cold doesn't bother me. It feels much colder in the south in the winter, than in the north, because northern cold is dry and southern cold is wet. It is the driving/flying conditions that are worrisome. And, I really don't want to see anyone "razzle dazzle down". It sounds like dirty dancing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If people from my state decided to drive en masse in MN, the state most certainly would shut down. I can't afford to go all the way up there, anyway. But you wouldn't want me there. I would probably kill someone. I lived in Maryland for a while. I know what it can be like. Edited August 8, 2012 by Tally Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, on ice, generally everyone is going slow, so if you do slide, it won't be as big an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving across the northern states in winter is much more dangerous than driving across the south in the summer. Sorry. You're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty rare. So are tire blowouts. I've driven on asphalt hot enough to melt your tennis shoes, and never had a blowout.

But according to Arfink ice on the highways is not much of a problem since they usually put tons of salt on the highways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Have you ever driven in the south in the summer? And salt on the road won't work once the temperature is under 17 degress, nor does it increase visibility, and most people going up there would be on the interstate, not a highway. And it certainly doesn't help airplanes. ....I am just having fun with you, you know. Edited August 8, 2012 by Tally Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm not going anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line in December. Just kidding.... we'll probably retire up north knowing my husband. Still, I kind of think December is a bad idea to plan trips like that. Holiday season and all. Lots of people have tighter budgets at that time of year.

arfink Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well, maybe December is an officially bad idea. When else would work for people? I'd considered doing something in the fall here, but people are always busy because of school starting up and also it's kinda short notice. Would anybody be willing/able to do October? Or should I be looking at the spring? And competing with Pitt. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
