^^^^^^ but there's destruction all around you(or possible destruction loomimg). How can that be good? The snow typically does not destroy ---it just calms. Oh my goodness. Once it snowed so deep that the entire city shut down. At that time I was living in a gated apartment complex. So I just layered up like a kids in a snow suit. I put on some timbs and went out side and I tried to tretch around the complex before the company came out to shovel and salt. It was so quiet. So serene. So peaceful. The snow was fresh and white. It was so beautiful. Nothing was moving and I mean nothing, but me LOL. There weren't even any birds chirping. Do you know what that does for the mind and the spirit. Kinda like you are the only one at the moment. Like you are the center of the universe. There really aren't any words to describe it. You just have to experience it. I even tried to clear some snow away and make my very first snow angel. LOL I wasn't successful. Too much snow. However, I really felt like a kid again. It was wonderful! You can go to any open field, woods, or forest in the south and feel this. As well as being seneraded by nature. We don't have to wait for snow for that, lol! |

2. Where people go to school doesn't change the geographic location of the Ivy League Schools. They're still in the North.

*Hands Juicy a magical flute to that she too might conjure up a Leprachaun in a tree*You may have ivy league schools, but more people choose our schools down here then they do those ivy leagues up there. Is that why you chose to come down south to be educated, or was it because you couldn't get in the ivy league school? *noticed I preferenced this so if you say the less smart folks come down south to get in school because its easier, that will also apply to you, lol! ;D* |

...get 'em Creflo. Oh, I know you ain't talking about swindling ministers. The North got their fare share and then some! And someone mentioned about the govenor who flew out the country to meet his fling. At least he had enough sense to fly out the country...... ....unlike one northen mayor we know who was using government electronics to send sextxts to his fling and got caught swindling *cough* Kwame Kilpatrick*cough* |

You can go to any open field, woods, or forest in the south and feel this. As well as being seneraded by nature. We don't have to wait for snow for that, lol!
You know how during the day, the sounds of the every day hustle and bustle block out all the little sounds...? Like during your day you can't hear the clock ticking? But when everything else is quiet, suddenly you can hear it? It's like that - except it's outdoors. I went out into the snow one time and realized when it was completely quiet, I could actually hear the electricity humming through a lamp post all the way on the other side of the street - it was the loudest thing in the area. It's THAT quiet. |

I don't think it's a matter of choice on the part of the students. We all know the selective nature of Ivy Leagues. You may have ivy league schools, but more people choose our schools down here then they do those ivy leagues up there. |

My point about the snow is that it is unique. I have went up to the mountains. Very clean air and it brings about clarity, but it is not the same as the snow.
No way in the heavens am I going out in the open fields just to experience peace. Plus you can still hear things on the mountains and on the fields.
However, I so do not associate with this North Vs South stuff anyhow. I consider myself an east coast gal. From New England to the bay...I've been influenced by it all and I love to visit all along the coast.
I didnt even know there was some kind of North vs South debate (outside of American History -Civil War Chapter) until I got to this board.

It's THAT quiet. Um, if you out in the forest or woods, you not going to hear an engine. And depending on which community you live in in the south, you can hear that quiteness you speak of, even hear the humming from a lamp post, lol! I have! You can wake up at the crack of dawn and its so peaceful. And we don't need no snow for that, lol! |

I think the Northerners have the advantage here. Y'all have seen the open fields, yall have seen the mountain top, but yall haven't seen the snow ins. Northerner have seen it all. How can you possible know if it is the same or not if you haven't experienced all three?
Personally, I like the drastic change of seasons. Just feels like a new start each time.

Aww thanks Cam. That's all I wanted to hear!  I can imagine why folks want the warm weather always. But man you gotta see it around here the first true days of spring. FOlks are out and about after a mild period of duress. You see all the fashions, folks feel confident so they are happier, dudes riding by with nice shiny cars, music playing in the air. The atmospher is filled with opportunity and seduction. I love it. I really think it's about one's personality. I like those stages of confinement. It makes the open seasons (spring and summer) that much more enjoyable---imo. However, my boo swears Im a california kinda girl. So maybe I should live there for awhile and compare and contrast. |
