Well, we were told last week that it was coming so they had plenty of time to prepare for it. From the reports on the radio it seems that most of the country is at a standstill. The truth is that we're not used to snow in this country so the authorities cannot deal with even a comparatively small amount. Other countries with regular heavy snowfall throughout the winter seem to have few problems & probably laugh their heads off at our pathetic efforts. Roll Eyes

Meanwhile, in the south where I live, we had one clap of thunder about 1 hour ago followed by a light dusting of snow. That's all I've seen all day so far & it's stopped snowing now. Wink

It's so dry over here (New Zealand) that everytime I taxi my Hercules out I set fire to the grass.

The weather is perfect here in Florida. It is currently 10.9 degrees and I'm loving every minute of it. I've been experiencing the best flying weather of my life (not in the sim but in real life).

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
