You must be relatively close to Fake Eilleen, she makes a huge deal out of it when she gets a couple inches.

Southies are all alike in that.


I forgot to ask you to define “cold”..​

I agree.. A couple inches is not enough to be bothered by.
But it is a big deal to a Southie to experience anything deeper than that. And it DOES happen on occasion.

sometimes we get 8 to 10 inches at a time.
I know that is nothing compared to the depth you northern folks are used to having. ..
But it's enough to make a Southie witch scream.

i think you graph lies... when I first got out of school l lived in Mo. I spent the entire winter there.

I know Joplin never got any snow let alone 8 inches... or 12 inches whatever your confusing lying graph shows...

Well it don't happen every year. . but it has happened.
Most years we just get ice.. .much worse than snow.

Ice....the worst! Here 1/2 an inch & the city turns upside down. Cold for us is anything under 40. I remember some really big snows in St. Louis when I was a kid. I have a picture of my 6'-4" dad standing hip deep in snow. I went to school with nuns. Since the convent was next door they never closed the school. It was my dad's mission to get us there! He loved it....we just wanted to stay home!

My chickens freak out about the snow....I think the turkeys quite like it.

It stopped raining. Opened the turkeys coop door this morning to let them out & almost got run over! They all came barrelling out yapping their beaks off! Flapping the whole time.

I don't recall having many snow days growing up. People didn't depend on the busses. They just put it in 4 wheel drive and took their kids to school. Now they call it off for any bit of weather it seems like. I also remember having no heat for several days in a row. . everyone wore their coats and bibs to school and went anyways.
Poor precious babies walk around dragging blankets and pillows at school now. . when it's not even that cold.
I would not allow that in my classroom if I were a teacher.

I went to school with nuns.

Now we understand the nunnery concept.

 

[memphis]

Yes R2elk....I was in a girls school with nuns for 12 years. It was fine. Oddly the biggest issue I had when I got to college was trying to figure out what to wear each day. After 12 years of our uniforms....I was unprepared! I also think there is something to not having boys around. I think we focused more on studies instead of worrying about boys.

Well Blossom is a piggy! Just refilled the feeder & she hogged it. I grabbed her, stuck her under my arm & took a walk to let the others eat. Boy did she complain! But no real struggling. I think she was enjoying the tour. She seemed interested in all the stuff I was messing with. I was just looking at some of the smaller trees to see what to trim back now that it's getting cool. She was especially interested in the Calicanthus for some reason. I did hand her a sunflower seed occassionally.
