We had one here years back, but on a much smaller scale, my friend from AZ the next day brought in a pic of one from down there. Crazy! He was saying today how he missed watching them. :shock:
Thanks for the link, I think that would suck. :lol:

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Hope your friend wasn't in the thick of the most recent one, Aaron.
