Dread Pirate Robert Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Perhaps it was because of a deep psychological shock to Myrtle Beach residents from seeing snow at all, that it took them 4 days to recover?

EagleMoon Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We got about six inches of powdery snow with about half an inch of ice on top of that. It's like breaking through a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chair ride, surrounded by the trees with ice refracting the sunshine, was absolutely beautiful. The views of the lake were great too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Out my front door yesterday (or the day before?). Southern Michigan. Sick of it. I yearn for my native California. http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj488/catanstrophe/317.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The best thing about it being so cold for so long down here is that the insect population will suffer greatly this year and perhaps I can get a little air in my lungs when I go outside this Summer without having to dodge gnats. It's been a lot cooler than usual and we are expecting snow and that will shut the city down and normally that would make Northerners laugh at us, but this year I can point to the absolute cluster fornication that happened when Atlanta got a dusting of the white stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Have been getting rain every day this month, and it looks like we'll have a two day break of just over cast mon and tue, then it will be back. Hopefully the next couple of months will be this good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Pirate Robert Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Beautiful in Myrtle Beach SC again today... :) Go ahead, rub it in. Big difference in weather between where you and I live, even though we both live in the not all that big state of SC. Supposedly here we are due for another round of snow and ice on Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope it is more snow than ice. Snow is cool. Ice -- bad things happen, like power outages. ug. Well, at least I have a fireplace if the power goes out. Edited February 8, 2014 by Dread Pirate Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect species seem to survive just fine all through cold weather. Hell, look at friggin Alaska for example. Cold as shit winters, but every year there, mosquitoes survive the brutal winters and come out swarming in the summer. If Alaskan winters don't wipe out mosquitoes, why should we expect milder winters in the South to have some alternative magical effect on insects?
