Snowed in.

We've got hills. No mountains. We do have something that you might be unfamiliar with. It's called 'traffic.'

Not many mountains or even hills in Texas.....cept for the eastern side

We got about a foot of snow (with winds that cause a complete white out) just about every weekend this month. Plus smaller snowfalls in between. A couple of hours north, where my parents live, they got over 2 feet in one of those weekend storms.

...I'm sure you can see how it's tough to feel sorry.

Admittedly not as impressive as the Rockies or the Tetons, but mountains nevertheless.


ETA: Oh, and as for hills.. they don't call central Texas "hill country" for no reason:

Ha...
I live at the top of a hill in an area called lake hills.

My street is a destination for sledders.

We don't have mountains because the elitist NYC snobs said they blocked the view of the ocean and had them removed.

Are you kidding me? Those are like "training bra" bewbs. I'm 20 minutes from the foothills of the blue ridge (full on college tits). Another hour and I'm in the smokies (Sofia "we're gonna need a bigger motorboat" Vergara!). ANYTHING more than a dusting and you'll be doing the Bread and Milk run

But snow isn't the problem. See...here we get more ICE than anything. Think: deals gap covered in ice!

True story

Adirondack Mountains...Catskill Mountains. I did a bunch of geology field camps in upstate NY, and those stinking professors taught me that the glaciers carved all those mountains.

Real true story: Adirondack Park in upstate NY is bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon and the Great Smokies National Parks combined.

Did some camping and mountain-biking in the Adirondacks back in 95. We stayed near Old Forge (I think that was the name) nice little tourist trap. Beautiful country!

Yep, no mountains here...

Not a lot of hills either, a few as you get farther west...
And I'm quite sure that MY idea of "traffic" and yours differ quite a bit, and my idea of traffic pisses me off, so I don't want to deal with yours!

Maybe that's why shit rarely gets shut down in ND?
