In Louisiana, I don't find that it snows or hails very often at all. I've seen snow maybe twice in my lifetime, and hail too tends to be rare, but more frequent than snow for sure. The weather usually just doesn't facilitate any manner of freezing for any length of time, a big requirement for these varieties of precipitation.

Ah! Double post... Whoops.
Damn, I've forgotten what I was going to s-- wait, never mind, I was going to say that the quality of a teacher is inversely proportional to their ability to admit being wrong. (And also, coincidentally, to the frequency with which they are wrong.)

Number of football fields it takes a freight train, traveling at 55mph, to stop
56
Percentage of vehicle / train collisions that occur at crossings with active warning devices (lights, gates, bells).
245,000
Approximate number of at-grade highway-rail crossings in the U.S.
20
Times you are more likely to die in a crash with a train than you are to die in an automobile crash.
2
Average time, in hours, between each incident where a vehicle or pedestrian is struck by a train.
More people die in highway-rail grade crossing crashes in the U.S. each year than in commercial and general aviation crashes combined.
The majority of highway-rail crashes occur within 25 miles of the motorist's home.
Railroad tracks, yards, and trains and other equipment are private property. Walking or playing on them is illegal and is subject to arrest and fines.
Not concerned about trains unless they are moving fast?
The majority of highway-rail crashes occur when the train is traveling less than 30mph.
In this incident it was the stupid ass mom's fault, not because the crossing didn't have gates:

So that's where we were going wrong.
Manana (but with a squiggly accent over the first 'n' which I can't be bothered to find in the Character Map) means both Tomorrow and Morning in Spanish. To be fair, they're usually so high they never know which is which anyway.

Indeed, Friday the 13th falling on a Tuesday or a Wednesday or even *gasp* a Saturday could be just as deadly.
And just so this post isn't total spam: you've probably heard the phrase "We have met the enemy and he is us!" Ever wondered where it comes from?
It's from a wonderful old American comic strip called Pogo by Walt Kelly. Most people nowadays haven't heard of it, but that phrase is one of the things that lives on.

I've got the only (clay) animation movie of the comic strip on video (taped it off cable in the 80's). And i read the strip also.
