Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

those are amazing! 

my first winter in ohio, i was 10... we were completely snowed in--couldn't open doors.  an ice storm knocked out the power and we were freezing.  since we lived in a resort area (the only resident on that block and the next)--they were slow to get our power back on.  there was a tree on the roof... don't recall much else--it was bitter cold.  at least i have a warm house to hide from the snow in....

it is predicted to be 8 degrees on sunday.
don't threaten me with a good time.

Are you in Ohio? I didn't know anywhere there had that much snow!

In NE Ohio and NW Pennsylvania, snow storms that dump 2-4 feet of snow are not uncommon.

This year, Lake Erie did not freeze over, due to very warm temps in November and December. Consequently, when the very cold air comes down out of Canada, the unfrozen lake pumps huge amounts of moisture up into the air, which freezes as the air moves south over land. The moisture-laden air hits land, is compressed by the slight upslope of the topography, and, Presto, we have tons of "lake effect" snow!!!

Depending on what angle the winds come across the lake, the "bands" of lake effect can set up quickly and dump huge amounts of snow in a very short time (overnight),

Spent 40+ years in the same town where you live, and in the surrounding area.

Still own about 50 acres of property east of you.

They have this winter because Lake Erie is only about 1/3 frozen so far.

I grew up in a moo... cluck, cluck... neigh  environment.

Don't want to do that again, even as a hobby.

Deer huff and snort.

Kind of like guys when they are stressed or have eaten gas-producing food. (beer & cabbage rolls, etc. Or, just beer and anything. Or just beer.)
