I hate snow.

Hell ya don't even need snow in Oklahoma for everybody to freak. The high here last Thursday and Friday was in the teens (Fahrenheit) with lows below zero. It's been cold since Christmas. No bid deal we get cold weather like that about once every three or four years.
The last two times this kind of cold weather happened everybody has fuckin' panicked. Schools were closed, government offices were closed, tag agencies were closed, pharmacies were closed and the fucking gym was closed. Keep in mind there was no snow (except on the grass) no ice, just cold. People are fuckin' ridiculous.
This is not unusual weather for Oklahoma. I can't stand fucking panicky stupid herd mentality assholes.

Every year where I live we get FEET, not inches of snow. Once, just a few years back, we had 3 feet in 2 days, and just winter before last with wind drifts we had over 5 feet in under 24 hours.Took me 3 hours to dig the truck out of my driveway, that was after I had dug a path from the door to the truck. No schools were closed, nothing happened, but everyone that was late for work or school did not have that particular tardy held against them.Funny thing was if you lived on the south side of the road facing north, you were fine, but your driveway faced south, deep shit. Roads were shit all the way. I can only recall one time, in the last 38 years that school was ever closed for snow here. I remember being kicked outside for recess in 2nd grade in a blizzard. Total white out, could not see 3 feet in front of you, and we had a great time playing in it.Snow is common here, we have ass loads of salt to deal with it and plows to clear the roads, I have 3 shovels for snow and a snow blower, and keep 50 lbs of salt and ice melt on my porch to deal with ice, after you clear the snow.I can understand shutting shit down for ice when roads are too bad and the city or state does not normally deal with it and keep salt on hand to free up the roads, but outside of that its retarded to shut shit down because of a bit of snow.

aww boo I know how you feel. Except it doesn't matter how much it snows or how cold we still have to risk certain death to get to class lolCaribbean folk were not built for this weather!!!
-
skinny white boys who grew up in this weather are not meant for it either.

This isn't uncommon shit for Oklahoma. I think it's all these panicky assholes that have moved here from places like South Carolina, Texas and California that make the weather such a terrifying event here anymore. For god sake, a thunderstorm rumbles through and you would think half the population has a loaded gun to their head. It's fucking Oklahoma if ya can't deal with it get your carpet-bagging asses back to where you came from. Sorry douche asses.

carpet baggers? there is a term I have not thought about in many a year, since highschool so atleast 1989. Its nice to see history injected in to present conversations.

This used to be a nice state where you could shoot your neighbor and bury them out in the back forty and no one cared... now we're being overrun with religious freaks and busy bodies who always have to be up in your shit sniffing around everything your doing.I blame a big part of it on corporate farming. Corporate farming/ ranching are illegal here but in name only. When a man owns 100,000 plus acres he's for all practical purposes corporate. The balance of power is in his favor and flight takes place. Then, for the cheap living and the low cost of goods, respectable dipshits start poring in, further fucking everything else and solidifying the hold on power the corporate asshats have. After all, that's who they work for or who their invested in. Carpet bagging shit wads.
