..off my porch awning. Starting to get roofs and awnings collapsing around here from the weight of the snow. Mine was starting to bow. Got about 50% of it off. We're going to get hit again tonight and tomorrow with more of the white stuff. I've got a foot of it right now.
All my friends are starting to ask each other if we know of anyplace that is going to have dancing. We are sliding into dance withdrawal!!! Just got word that another dance for tonight has been shut down due to weather.
(Cranks up the music and dances around the kitchen)

Be careful in the white stuff. When was the last time you saw so much snow in such a short time? I know it's been a few years since I saw rain in December. Sothern California has been dry for a few years now. I enjoy hearing it beating on the roof but I hate trying to drive anywhere in it. It's not the slippery roads that bother me but the drivers here think driving inches from your rear bumper is still ok no matter how much rain is falling.
Now as for dancing.....do you have any lodges or halls nearby or do they charge to much. Maybe with all the snow and ice they might be willing to deal.

Geez, what a bunch of candy asses! Come to the Northeast and get used to Snow, Ice, Sleet, Rain, Cold, Heat generally all in the same month. Right here in NYC we went from 60 something to 10 degrees in the same week, we had an ice storm, 6" of snow and today for Xmas Eve its gonna rain all day with temps in the 40's. Watched to grandkids play basketball in the park one day last week and woke up the next morning with the furnace going full blast and the car looking like an igloo with an antenna.
Anyway, everybody have a happy holiday [ Chrismas, Chanukah, Kwanza, whatever] season regardless of the weather.
PS You gotta learn to build your roofs to handle a reasonable snow load, and to crank up your awnings in the winter.

And you think you've got it bad Bloody Hell mate you should put up with what I had to suffer through yesterday I mean the temperature dropped below 80 F on the golf course yesterday and I nearly had to abandon the round a go fishing instead, come to think of it I'd have probably been more successful fishing.
