We should reframe climate change as an attack on winter recreational activities. Then Republicans might actually give a shit about it.

“Oh, I’m not worried about climate change. But I’m very concerned about the impending demise of snowmobiling.”

That’s what I know it as in Minnesota. No idea where people are getting the donuts thing from.

The last time I saw a meme like this I asked around and everyone else said “whipping shitties” was an illegal U turn.

It has been a long time since most of those places have been cold enough, long enough, to have a lake become that solidly frozen. It has been 30+ years since I have seen this happen in the mid atlantic.

The water’s really deep there, too, so it’s riskier. Isn’t that were the Titanic sunk?

I think by “mid Atlantic” they mean a city in the US on the Atlantic coastline, but not the northern tip of the country, or the southern end. The mid part. But they’re talking about lakes or rivers in those areas, not the ocean itself.

I think there may have been a joke in there.

Or maybe not.

I’ve lived in the mid Atlantic my entire life and have never driven on a frozen lake.

I do my donuts in parking lots that haven’t been salted or plowed yet.

You are missing out then, frozen lakes are so much fun.

There was one particular parking lot near my house that was not plowed for years. The snow would fall, melt a little during the day, and then refreeze. Spent many evenings there.

But snow isn’t particularly slippery, the only way that works properly is if there’s a layer of ice underneath. So you need a warmish day with some rain, followed by a bitter cold night, followed by a dusting of fresh snow to really lose traction in a parking lot.

I was gonna ask “is there a term other than ‘doing doughnuts’ specifically for when it’s on ice?” because I live where we don’t drive on frozen lakes. 🤣

Where you live, you apparently add extra letters to “donut” for no reason.
