Snow vs Nasty Large Spiders

[Futcha]

I'll take snow over spiders any day. I'll take snow in the winter if I had to choose between 80 degrees, no humidity or snow. I can play ice hockey without having to spend $600 to rent a rink for a few hours to get some games going. I get snow days even when there's just a patch of snow in my backyard. In Buffalo, they didn't get snow days even when the roads were completely covered. I remember visiting last winter, we were watching the morning news and about 3 schools closed, even though there was 2 feet of snow on the ground, covered and slick roads, 45 mph gusts of wind and snow smacking you in the face. It was crazy. They're freaking nuts. Thank God for New York City's perfect, modest winters of only 21 inches per year compared to Buffalo's 105 inches, Boston's 53 inches, etc. We only get 6 more inches of snow per year than Charleston, South Carolina.

I think New York City is your kind of town. You'll just have to watch the roaches and rats. No, seriously.

I'm sorry, I'm no scorpion expert... but uhh... There would be no possible way to make me grab a scorpion by the tail... Maybe to save my life, but yeah... I would work better with a glove and a dust pan... Not saying your info i wrong, but rather risky, and uhh intimidating . I would not recommend this to someone who doesn't mess with scorpions a lot... but maybe I'm hyping this up too much now ... Irony... anyways... :P

WOAH! Youre right! I left out a vital piece of info there.... grab them with forceps or tweezers, NOT YOUR FINGERS! Thanks for pointing that out, I cant believe I didnt mention to use something other than your hands! LOL

I live in a rural area of California on 5 acres, and have only seen 1 non-venomous snake and never seen a scorpion. I think I would freak if I saw a scorpion, we do have spiders but nothing too bad.

Steve-O that is impressive.
