That Gaseous Wind again, do you mean?

Same to you bud. Stay out of the bad weather. I just saw that clip SE was talking about, where the pickup went down the hill. When SE first posted it I was a bit shocked. I did not think I would laugh at someone sliding down a hill off ice.

But it was not that much of a slope, and the guy was lucky. Instead of landing safely at the bottom of the hill he could have spun the other way into a parked car. Must be some crazy ice you guys get down there. Probably slicker than goose-sh*t.

I mean, no one could be that unlucky on ice as consistently as people Down South are. Perhaps the ice just sheets smoother than up North. The way these people were twisting was not only odd but think about this...

Up here, if people know there is a bad patch of road they salt it.

Down there, your TV Units go out to film people sliding around.

That is more amazing than people sliding on a small patch of ice.
