Hell In Williamsburg - By: Bweiss

I moved to Williamsburg Virginia many years ago from Pennsylvania because I got very tired of the rough winters there. It was brutally cold, during the winter months and I usually had to shovel the drive way clean before I could leave for work every day. Upon arriving to work I suffered all day because I was already exhausted from cleaning my driveway and also sore from falling several times on the ice.

After hearing all the bull about the solar warm up, we like everyone else was afraid to move south because according to the environment experts like Al Nuts Gore we were about ready to fry. So I stayed there for years until I did my own research and found out that it was all a lie. The man is being sued by 300 scientists for lying and being part of a united nations conspiracy.

So I quit my job and moved down to Williamsburg Virginia where it was quite a bit warmer. When winter came around it was very bearable. The lowest the temperature ever got was about 30 degrees. Over the years it snowed very little and only a light blanket that only covered the grass areas. It was usually melted about an hour after the sun can up.

Williamsburg is a resort town with about 6 different resorts. Many people come here for vacations or a romantic getaway. In the winter time it is mostly the elderly who come down to get away from the cold up north. Summer time visitors are mostly younger couples who go to Busch Gardens or Colonial Williamsburg for some history and a few go to water parks.

Over the winter months there has always been a steady stream of resort owners arriving anytime during the week to spend some time here in Williamsburg. Also travelers who come down and stay at hotels for 3 day vacations or people from surrounding areas come into town to shop at our big outlet malls or to eat at our many places to dine.

But not this year! The town has been like a Ghost Town for the last several months. All the hotels and resorts have been basically empty. The restaurants and local stores have been empty and everyone in town is trying to hold on until spring. People have been losing their jobs because there are no people in town to cater to.

The reason for this is someone forgot to tell mother earth about the solar heat up. Not only was this the coldest winter here in Williamsburg but the longest. And let me say it was not only here but Florida as well as they hit new lows down there along with an enormous amount of crop damage. We also had some real heavy amounts of snow and ice that stuck around for weeks instead of hours. Not only did we have an unheard of 15 inches of snow in one day but the ice was about 3 inches thick and staid for 2 weeks. It is February at the time of this writing and we have more snow and bad weather coming.

Because it hardly ever snows here people have very little experience driving in it. The first time we got some accumulation we had over 400 road accidents. Of course the news reporters we have today afraid of reporting any real news hyped this kind of stuff up causing fear about traveling, and caused even more lost revenue to a starving community.

I am looking forward to March which is usually a busy time here in Williamsburg Virginia. The town usually starts filling up at the end of February and my hope this year is not different. If this holds true the town should be busier than ever because of the people who had to delay their getaway because of the really bad weather we had this past year.

So a word to the wise, if you are planning on some kind of getaway or vacation in the next month or two you better book you hotel or resort early this year, as many vacationers are ready to bust out from being locked down because of this past cold harsh winter.
