get snow for Christmas and New Years. We get tornadoes.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Think I'll pass on the swap. I can always visit the north if I want to see snow.

As to the little plane that could, I wouldn't know. The download came without smell. Roll Eyes

I drove from California to Michigan, left on the 20th when the first snowstorm hit...4 days of driving in freezing rain and snow. Made it to Michigan. Then on the 30th I leave Michigan to drive to Alabama, and I get chased by tornadoes the whole trip. I get to Bama on the 31st and a tornado passed just north of us.

Jan 1 I flew home. No more messing with mother nature. Grin

Out here in California a severe storm consists of...rain. Roll Eyes

We, who are supposed to have snow quite some time before Christmas, didn't get it dumped on us until Christmas day was nearly gone; I guess someone requested it as their gift and it was one of the last things unwrapped.

I hope I left my daze of tornadoes in Nebraska...

We got 3 inches of snow on Christmas Day. Then the sun came and it all went away. Then Tornadoes came to play and blew everything far, far away. Sad

In Wyoming everyone who has the ability (with-out putting themselves in danger of course) just goes out and watches the Tornado or Cyclone pass them by. Which I think is really weird. Shocked

While in Beatrice, NE, I was on my knees within one; quite some years before, I operated a relay base station for spotters -- the ones who went out looking for the tornadoes and passed on the warning.
