Believe it or not, people who drive in Baltimore City actually like the snow --
it fills in all of the potholes.

Winters in North Dakota are tuff. I asked a friend of mine why in the world she chose to live there.

She replied, "Why Jimmy, it's an honor to be one of God's frozen people."

Those of us in the areas which receive snow and ice are always glad to see the last week of February, since we know winter's back is broken then.

Unfortunately, that's a couple of weeks or more after everyone else's was.

Winter is also the time for all of the colds, flu and viruses to run rampart, especially among the kids.

I've always thought part of the problem was the schools -- you know, also known as "The Children's Garden of Viruses".

When my son, JimJr Jr was in the Air Force, in Texas, they were hit by a rare ice storm. As all the duty personnel were trying to clear their windshields with anything available, a native yelled over to my son, "I bet y'all always have an ice scraper handy in Maryland."

"Nah." JimJr Jr replied. "We just use pick-axes."

During a recent ice storm here in Maryland, some people lost their electric power for four days. On the second day, some of the shelters begin to fill-up.

A Red-Cross worker asked, "Are there any pregnant women in here ?"

A gruff voice from the back said, "Hell, we ain't even warm or dry as yet."
