Around Azeroth: Oh no, Mr. Bill!
This mild winter might seem like a blessing to those of us who are sick of navigating through snow, ice and terrible drivers on the roads every year. (Handy hint, residents of the southern United States: The existence of flurries in the air does not mean that you need to slow to 20 miles below the speed limit.) But these snowmen could benefit from a cold snap. The sinister snowman on the right looks like he may have pulled a little Scar/Mufasa action and pushed his brother off the cliff and into the lava. It's the perfect crime! (Thanks to Meene of Alpha Pug on Mok'Nathal [US-H] for the screenshot.)

Actually, depending on the area it does. I have seen how people in Austin deal with snow and holy crap...I wish more of them would slow the hell down. There would be a lot fewer wrecks that way. Flurries here shut the entire city down.
This picture makes me think of that old Frosty the Snowman cartoon if it was quite a bit darker. Perhaps it is the prequel detailing Frosty's troubled childhood, or maybe it is what happens after he leaves that town. Imagine the song about that. XD
O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
Until that day he was pushed away
Into the lava bath by me~

Don't just blame Southerners. As a guy who grew up in the Atlanta metro and now living in the former gold rush area of California, I can tell you that it happens more often where they expect snow it seems. Or maybe it's just weather in general (months without rain seems to throw people off too). Growing up, snow was rare enough that I don't blame people anymore for their overzealous caution and all. Where I live now is 45 mins away from a ski resort that is only open when it snows each year. It does snow here every year. People still drive ridiculously slow before it even sticks.

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! I lived in Dallas for 4 terribly long years before escaping and if two flakes stack atop one another, everyone is suddenly going about 30 - 35 mph on the freeways. (Add to the fact that they have absolutely NO clue about how to turn left at intersections - I'm serious, they'll sit through two red lights instead of pulling slightly into the intersection and turning at the first break, or clearing the intersection when the light turns yellow...I saw far too many actually pull forward a little and when the light turned yellow, put their cars in reverse!)
I'm living in California now, and while it doesn't snow here, it does rain quite heavily at times...but they still know how to drive in the stuff. They're insane about it, but they at least keep the traffic flowing! (And they know how to turn left!)
