When I was a kid, over the course of 3 years I collected 167 highway signs, 348 assorted sized highway cones and 1 forgotten lunch box from assorted highway construction areas near my house.
Then I moved away, it's probably still stashed in the bushes to this day.

supposedly those signs are quite expensive.
good cone story: one time my drunk buddy was driving us home from uhhh drinking and he saw this very very long line of the big orange barrels. apparently the construction crews had been tearing up the highway at like 100 yard intervals for some reason and basically shut down an entire lane with the barrels. my buddy thought it would be funny to knock a couple over. then he thought it would be funny to exit, get back on, and proceed to knock every single one of them over (this is like 3 am in rural ohio). on his third or so pass, he forgot why the barrels were there in the first place and realized he was driving in the closed-off lane when his car fell down into the construction ditch. hahahahaha i just laughed. his car was fucked up. he had to call a tow truck and everything. he actually cried. it was great.

while drunk at thanksgiving (canadian) I took some of the orange pylons from a construction site beside the road and spaced them accross the road so the cars would have to stop and go around.

I really don't know why you have to go to college to be a weatherperson. They all get their info from the National Weather Service, and they're always wrong!
good stories guys... 
one night, this past summer we come out of our favorite beer garden and the whole street is littered with them (they were not there when we parked). Turns out they were using them to block off parking for production trucks coming in the morning to shoot some movie.
so my friends girlfriend, who i was giving a ride back home helped me out ... I just pulled up next to the cones, she opened the door and was sliding them into the car one by one ... so as were slowly driving down the street, the Mini was swallowing them .... the back seat was full of them... and I was hoping not to get pulled over on the way home, would have been hard to explain.

It was October, and the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. He had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. To be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood. But being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes, the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again ordered his people to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the Chief called the National Weather Service again.
"Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy."

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So the next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10)We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is my body" He did not say " Eat me" .
12)The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry.
13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

We used to drive around and collect "for sale" signs off the lawns of homes, and put them all in my friend's trunk. We must've had 40 in there 1 night, which naturally all found their way onto my other friend Tim's lawn.

that only happens in the southeast & northwest here in the U.S. The northeast & midwest are always prepared for lots of snow dumping.

it happens a lot here in Maryland a lot too, we're a pussy state.
Back when I was in high school the schools would close A DAY IN ADVANCE when fear of a storm was coming. There were numerous times when school would close, then when I'd wake up that day, it would be bright and sunny, no snow in sight.

Yup, Maryland is a bitch state about snow. The first hint of snow and everyone dashes to the grocery store for bread and milk and all schools and buisness close. Except for the goddamn courthouse, where I work.

Add New Zealand. 5 cm of snow at 0°C, roads would be closed, and total chaos would break loose.Erik said:
How often does a place like England get snow? Or mainland Europe for that matter (I'm talking like Spain, Italy, France, Germany, etc. - and not the Alps).
