I know how that is. We've had some pretty frightening storms around here, the type where its hard to not hide somewhere under a nice, big blanket and cover your ears.

My homecity has one of the highest lightening strike rates in the world. I learned long ago to unplug computers during storms Tongue

That said, a storm is the best cure I know for insomnia. There's nothing quite like looking out of a window while the elements shred the outside winds ... while you're holding a cup of cacao and reading a book Cheesy

I always unplug then, however this time the lightening strikes came out of nowhere  blink

The worse part of storms has to be when the power is cut and it sticky and too hot to sleep... or when the storms are so bad your worried that a tree is going to fall on your house... or you've got an exam the next day and your alarm clock doesn't run on batteries...

Can you guys add any more to the list?

1. Big flying ants fly into the house and infringe on my privacy.

2. Too cold to sleep at night.

3. Will sneeze the next day.

4. flooding
5. makes the spring peepers shut up... wait, that's a good thing...

actually, come to think of it I don't have many complaits about rain storms, but I you want to talk about winter-type storms...

-Having to shovel the drive way every 2 hours (through the night), because if you don't you'll never be able to lift your shovel -snow plows are praticularly irritating
-piles of snow over my head resulting from said shoveling
-traffic accidents resulting from people trying to leave driveways, but are blinded by said snow piles
-having to go to school after spending the night shoveling snow

-ICESTORMS = downed power lines everywhere, busted water and sewer mains, neighborhood evacuations to other neighborhood, downed trees and brancjes everywhere, inpassable roads due to ice, banches, powerlines, and flooding

Is tobogganing when you grab a little sled and hold on for dear life while you slide down a mountain?  If it is, that is SO much fun.  I did it once on a holiday and I absolutely loved it, however I think the entire town hear me screaming all the way down  Cheesy

it can be, it's also refered to as sledding.  It can be great fun, the poor man's skiing one might say.  It can be an art unto itself.

At least there's a smaller chance of breaking a leg if your on a sled than if you were skiing Wink

I haven't any broken legs sledding, no, but I did see a girl break her tail bone.  DON'T sled down long steep ice into a guard rail, even if crazy guys with chicken hats do  rolleyes  they usually know some tricks to keep themselves safe... like how to jump a road... heehee the was a FUN ride  Wink

I've only played with artificial snow. Never seen real snow in all my life.  Sad

you're going to need to move up here than.  Not only do we have snow, but we also have universtal health care, so you can get patched up after sledding '"mishaps"

Thank you, Tommy Douglas. Smiley

Yes, universal healthcare, that which makes us Canadians so wonderfully happy people all the time.

Well, MOST of the time.


Stupid thunderstorm asploded my modem. It wasn't plugged into the big fancy pants surge protector, because some moron who is /obviously/ not me, forgot, at his parent's direct orders, to plug it into the protector after the last incident like this. Because, yes, I forgot. And yes, it has happened before. Sad
