Misc Cold Season Complaining

Times have changed. Lets just be glad we were alive to see some pretty incredible winters. I feel bad for the younger folks who may have to go 10+ years before they see another good winter.
Yes we who are older can enjoy our memories of winters when the ponds froze over and when it snowed and stayed on the ground for more than a week on some occasions. The Carolina Crusher, the March 1, 1980 snowstorm where the high stayed in the teens the entire day and the Feburary 1987 sleet storm are ones that I will remember. People who move here now look at you like you need to be commited to a lunatic assylum if you even mention the possibility of snow in Raleigh these days. If they only knew!

I know our new neighbors are from Ohio and they thought NC was a snowless state. I mentioned our 70’s and 80’s storms and they were very surprised.
 
Top movies for me in no order:
Both Home Alone’s
Grinch Jim Carey
Christmas Carol original and Jim Carey’s
Polar express (I especially like to fall asleep to this one)
Christmas with the Kranks.
Santa Clause 1&2
Unpopular opinions:
Jingle all the way sucks
Jack Frost with Michael Keaton is actually a good movie.

I’m glad I got to experience 2008-2018 here in southern Alabama

I don’t know when the next time I’ll see a 2/12/10, 1/28/14, or 1/17/18
