I'll never forget, as a then-aspiring snowboarder, watching neighbors snowboard off a second-story roof in March of 2003.  What started as heavy rain at the Holiday Twin Drive-In the night before had turned into a blizzard that made it hard to see, before the movie was even over.  I remember being impressed that almost everyone stuck around until the end of the flick.  (Dang, I wish I could remember which movie that was.  Must not have been that great.)
