In the winter here, where I live, we get ICE STORMS. We get some snow and such... But the ice storms are the real *** kickers. Sub zero temps, 40 to 60 mph winds, and shards of razor sharp ice blowing down from the sky. Below zero, with wind chill, and shards of ice. Not a friendly place for kilt wearing or golf. We get 5 or 6 inches of solid encrusted ice coating everything... NAS-TEE.

Last winter, had to go out and get some food. Power was out because of an ice storm. While I was out, more of the storm blew in. Coming home was hell. Got a nasty gash on my face from an incoming ice shard. I was beat up three ways to Sunday from being pelted with golf ball sized sleet in 50+ mph winds.

And I did it all kilted, wearing my USAKilts Philabeg. Security guard for my building said it was the ballsiest thing she had ever seen.

When I got in the door, all my dreadlocks were frozen solid and sticking out.

And never once did I think about wearing troosers.
Hey, Dread, are you sure you don't live in Virginia?. We have ice storms here too. Several years ago, everyone lost power, some for nearly a week due to a massive ice storm. Trees and power lines were down everywhere, just from the sheer weight of the ice. I guess some people don't believe you can get hours of rain with temperatures below freezing. I also here people from the northern states saying that we southerners just don't know how to drive in snow. What they don't understand is that much of the time we have snow on the ground, it probably has at least half an inch of ice under it. The plant I worked at built a new section in Virginia because they saw a study which said, "the average year around temperature is 50 degF". It is too, only thats because it might be 100 deg in August and 0 deg in January, so it averages ouy to 50 deg, right?
