Wonder if there was ever any truth to those “gravity hills”? A big chunk of underground magnetite or some such?

Actually, I read an explanation about that. Apparently, the hill only appears to be higher than the surrounding terrain, in actuality, they are lower, so cars are rolling downhill … it just doesn’t look like it.

Winter Haven, FL has such an illusion on one of its side streets: at the bottom of the hill, put you car into neutral and your car will roll forward as if it is rolling UPHILL, despite seeming to be on flat ground. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2058

That must explain why I was able to run barefoot 20 miles to school every day, uphill both ways through waist deep snow in my younger days. I miss that hill.

Satch must have hip dysplasia. It’s all down hill from there.

I didn’t know you went to the same school that I did…at my school it started snowing in late August, and it didn’t clear up until May!
Today’s young whippersnappers don’t know how hard it was back in the Good Old Days!

re: Masterskrain and Marv walker

I’m a wimp when it comes to heavy snow and admit it!
.
Despite growing up in central oregon, I came to really dislike snow when I worked in Klamath Falls. 96" in the first 3 weeks of january 1993. Started snowing and never stopped for 3 straight weeks. It packed down to about 6 feet but it was like a barrier everywhere. Roofs had to be shoveled off several times a week. It was made worse by the City contracting with the Air Force at Kingsley Field to keep their runways clear and they had to do it before clearing anything in town.
.
I was used to walking, particularly when doing surveying, but this was insane. Most things shut down. Had to walk to work (not bad as it was only 3 blocks), but it was 2 miles to the nearest grocery. That was a MAJOR pain, because one could carry two sacks at best and hope not to get bogged down or trip or slip or drop the sacks when one slid a little in the snow. Too much snow to use a bicycle. The city and county piled the snow in the middle of the lanes, knocking holes in them for people to turn through. Not many on the road except 4wds and I had an old 1969 muscle car that was useless on snow. I just left the car at work.
