I honestly don't know what to say.

I have to say that I have always been confused by some people's obsession with snow. Yeah it was great fun when I was a kid to play in it. But now it is just an inconvenience to me as it slows travel. I guess people that have never had to deal with it would find it to be a novelty. But let then spend a few days sitting bundled up in coats because the snow knocked out the power lines and you only have limited heat and ways of cooking food and that would take away the novelty for anyone.

Uhh... the point of this is thread is to show what happens when the Middle East jacks up the price of oil, they can have snow in the middle of the desert.
