Hurricanes vs. Snow
« on: September 05, 2004, 08:44:04 PM »

Even though we've had two hurricanes in the past month here in Florida, I'm still thinking it's better than snow....

I really don't care either way--can't ride in either. However, I can surf in either soon after storm passes!

We definitely had some killer waves here yesterday off Tampa and Melbourne...

Good point about the lack of good during-hurricane activities...it gets pretty boring....but at least it's over pretty quick!

I voted snow.  I was born and raised here in the Peoria, IL area but my job took us to Wilmington, NC for 2 1/2 years.  During that short time we must've dealt with a half-dozen or more hurricanes (Bonnie, Floyd, Dennis, etc., etc., etc.).  It even snowed there the second winter we lived there![smiley=lolk.gif]

But back to the hurricanes, I hate 'em!  All the anticipation a week or more in advance, the day or two of the event itself, and then the power outtages and clean-up for still more days/weeks afterward, YUCK!  We're glad to be back in the boring (if not tornado-prone and snowy) midwest.

Dang, that IS kind of hard to get around....never having been on a snowmobile I imagine it must be great....but I don't think I'd get used to not riding a bike every day....so like everything else, pros and cons to each, and now I no longer think a full year riding season is as superior as I used to! Still mighty good to be on your bike in January though.... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I'll take snow anyday.  Never been in a hurricane and don't plan on it.

Never been in a hurricane but have lived with snow all my life.  The snow I don't mind, but the dam cold that comes with it I can do without.  In the last couple of years we have been getting some strange weather patterns that have dumped 3-4 feet of snow in 1 day.  That much snow, ice storms etc. can cause a lot of damage, but probably not as much as a hurricane.  But, at least a hurricane dosen't stick around for months at a time.  I picked the hurricane.
