It hasn't snowed here a lot surprisingly and it's been very, very warm so we're considering ourselves fortunate. Unfortunately we've had a lot of freezing rain so our streets have been treacherous and we spend millions on snow removal every year (our cities are just...well, always prepared and doing it where it sounds like yours doesn't but should =/ )

I get challenged a lot to PVP on WoW but I've never accepted. To be fair though a lot of those people who challenged me were like 20 lvls higher and some had the audacity to message me "why not?" and my answer was "are you fucking daft? You know why." -__-;
