Most of the equipment still works. Here in southeast Louiaiana we live to have festivals (5 in our parish alone, 1 only second in size to Mardi Gras in N.O. and this town has only 10,000 people in it) and also Mardi Gras parades it is always ready to roll and have fun. Had to even make a fire trailer to pull behind it for more people to ride in.
And the snow - 8" in 1 day, the most in the past 50 years that I remember is 2" and did not last long. This time snow lasted 3 days, 2 days later was in T shirt and shorts as is was back up to 78.
