Utter impossibility of reason. The frost has devastated your little home. I shall pray for you and all those around you. Surely there is some national disaster assistance for this sort of thing.

Oh, the horrors of frost!

I moved here (W. Va.) from Las Vegas. I feel your pain.

I'm from Florida, and I have never witnessed a frost storm.

I am on the phone with FEMA right now. I live in Seattle. The frailty of your people is nothing compared to ours. When it "threatens to snow" which is about twice a year...everything closes. People call in sick to work. Grocery stores and Taco Bell drive thrus close. It is devastating.

Us over here in Southern California have started a "Frost Storm 2003 Relief Drive" to try to help our fellow man suffering from this horrible natural disaster. DAMN YOU MOTHER NATURE!!!

I have lit candles for you .. ok, so I lit them cuz I love the smell of them but hey, why not double up on the reasons, mmkay? I can only pray that your roof doesn't collapse, but should it, please know that Clan Bob is very welcome to bunk in over here in Arkansas at Casa Bisa. Umm ya may want to bring sleeping bags, pillows, food and oh yeah, that Wet Dry Vac. And remember, if you wake up with Jasper humping your leg or face, it's just cuz he likes you. :) Whheeee, I *heart* that you have a comments section now!

We have no frost. How did we escape such torment, I do not know. Wait... I just looked... we do have frost. Sorry, I hadn't realized until now.

awittykitty - 2003-12-07 18:24:56
Have you contacted FEMA yet for the incredible damage ravaged upon your location? Sheesh and to think we only had 183 inches of snow in Upstate NY over the weekend...

arhanti - 2003-12-07 19:01:49
i'm greatly sorry for your errr...losses...but isn't frost better than the two feet of snow we got here in ct?

dude, you will probably sooo have to not go to work tomorrow.

Uncle Bob, I'm going door to door in my neighborhood gathering canned goods and old blankets as we speak. Hang in there -- help is on the way! Just stay alive, whatever you do.
-------------------------------
Angeline - 2003-12-07 20:43:03
Make sure to stock up on flashlights and batteries! There's no telling what a coat of frost can do to electrical wires! Stay strong--we have no frost here in Texas, but it's only a matter of time.

Mel - 2003-12-07 21:44:57
You would never survive Michigan, that's for sure. We see our first frost in September! :) I love Southerners and the way the shut down at the sight of cold "frosty" weather. Very cute little story.... :)

Where's the comments section? I can't see I'm frost blind.

Hi. Its just like you southerners to go all wacko about a little frost. i went to noth carolina in AUGUST and they all had their winf breakers on at night! "gee whiz toothless joe, its only about 80 degrees i better get my mittens and gloves on before i loose a finger to frostbite!" i was sweating so bad i thought it was hell and all these people had JACKETS AND SCARVES on! weirdos. we got a foot or more of snow this weekend here on long island and i went out this morning and it wasnt cold enough for mittens. why is it that you people are afraid of a little wind?

Megan - 2003-12-07 22:57:43
Oh the horror! The shame! The shame that I think some of these people are actually being serious in your comments section.
-------------------------------
Mariposa - 2003-12-07 23:46:21
Amen, Megan. Amen. Get the icicles outta your butts, people. He's just kidding!

Teresa - 2003-12-07 23:51:50
My icy cold Michigan heart melted when it saw the photo of your son's toy struck down by the evil frost. I'm going to alert the do-gooders at work to hold an emergency Relief Drive for Alabama Citizens Done Wrong By The Frost Fundraiser. As Americans, we can not allow the frost to make us change how we live or the frost has won.

I sit here in Chicago, where it is about 40 degrees and no snow or devastating frost in sight.

onewetleg - 2003-12-08 00:57:05
i want frost.

hmm - 2003-12-08 01:32:29
who are you when the likes of weetabix and disco sign your comments section? uncle bob, only uncle bob. while ub's whole 'oh no frost!' thing is quite hilarious, hail and frost do a lot of damage when you're not prepared for it and its quite natural to get scared and maybe get carried away a little. Many working class people in LA had serious flooding and damage to their homes when it freakishly (a sure sign hell is freezing over) hailed there.

lookingsideways - 2003-12-08 02:02:07
OH MY GOD!! what were you DOING out there taking photos? You could have been seriously injured or KILLED by a falling snowball! You are brave sir. Brave, I say!
-------------------------------
Lando - 2003-12-08 06:06:11
geez, all that frost and no strippers or wiggles. how dissapointing...
-------------------------------
- - 2003-12-08 06:23:23
Sir! You could have been attacked by a renegade snowball. Thank you sir, for going where no man has ventured before. Taking photos of the frost...truly a brave man.

Well, this is what is TRULY meant by the 'special relationship' between we Brits and our American Cousins... I have written to my MP and to Bob Geldof, in the hope that we may be able to hold a Frost Aid concert over here in Blighty. Oh the humanity!

desideroso - 2003-12-08 10:42:29
sigh...i miss frost. and snow, for that matter. i'm jealous of your twinkly white lawn and overturned toys. the trees are still green here in FL, for cryin' out loud!!!

I'm in GA, and we occasionally get blasted with giant frost storms like the one Uncle Bob captured so brilliantly in his photos. Just the mere threat of storms like these ensure that all the grocery stores will be drained of milk, bread and eggs by noon. I guess being forced by the mighty hand of Mother Nature to stay home causes people to start craving dairy products. Me, I like to stay stocked up on chips and dips, because if the power goes out, then I don't have to figure out alternative methods of cooking them! The dreaded winter watch 2003 has officially begun. The weather reporters are sure going to be busy now!

westburian - 2003-12-08 12:30:43
ummm, has anyone noticed but me, WHY are there telephone poles in your FRONT YARD??????? that's the most bass ackwards subdivision I've ever seen in my life!!!!

Sarah - 2003-12-08 13:32:43
The way you handled this extreme circumstance inspires me. Here in Birmingham the frost caused several wrecks and general moaning and wailing. On Friday there was a rumor that three flakes of actual snow fell. Panic ensued. I endeavor to follow your example of bravery.

dirtyolive - 2003-12-09 01:56:59
so you guys live on an army base or something? your neighourhood looks sterile!

hcatty - 2003-12-09 14:20:24
well, I was gonna comment on all the frost, but seeing as how over 30 people already have, I'll just say that, Whoa. Dude. You're popular, huh?
