Snow Day!
Go Play in it! Find a kid, preferably your own, or some friends and go sledding or something!
pop in movies and drowse by the fire.
alternatively, you could clean out your underwear drawer.
fuck you
FUCK YOU ALL
ALL OF YOU, YOU HEAR?
...i'm so jealous of all you 'winter' people, you 'snow' people.
fuck you allll....
Sorry lad.:thepain: You'll get back to the States soon enough though.
@Ibram. Find a friend with heavy dandruff.
Oh, to be so lucky to have a wee bit of the white stuff
(not, dandruff)
*cough* I hate winter. *hack*
I envy you too.
And unlike Ibram I don't have a snowy country to go home to.
BIG SIGH
Unless the next ice age comes soon I will have to think about leaving my beloved country behind one day. I was out in a jumper with 3/4 length sleeves, a denim skirt and trainers without socks today. AND I WAS TOO WARM. In December.
Thank everything I'll be a few stones lighter next year and therefore less insulated. Sweating in December is obscene and I refuse to move more slowly.
HA! HA! HA! Snow... no thanks. It was 77 degrees in Savannah the day before yesterday. I hope to never live where it snows again. Great to visit, but live with it, no thanks. It was 37 this am and about 60 out now, midday, and I am still wearing shorts. Please keep all snow up North, thanks. :D
WE got caught in a blizzard on Saturday, but it's all melted for now. Soon come, though.
How many snow angels did you make, Griff? I love snow. been here 7 years, still not sick of it. Yet to see a really deep dig-a-path-to-your-front-door fall, though. 2 foot is about the most. The last several-footer was just a few months before we arrived.
Griff, I already posted this in "post whore" but I think this is a pretty good suggestion for a snow day.
Feeling snowed in? Try this!

Said the man in the middle of drought central.
I saw half a dozen flakes today too. Not enough to say with a straight face that it was snowing, but there were snowflakes (plural) falling from the sky here in DC today.
Supposed to start snowing here in a couple hours. Lucky for me, I am in a hotel and don't have to go anywhere to get anything I need. I like snow if I am home looking out at it, for about a day, esp since I live on the river. Then it gets icy and slushy and dirty and I don't care for it.

The girls + cousins spent the whole day out in it. We didn't get a lot (maybe 6 inches plus drifting from the wind) but the squalls were timed with drive time so it closed things down without being a big shovel event. I ran the cousins back home in the Suzuki. It passed the test.
What's this "snow" stuff you're all talking about?
Is it any good? Where can I try some?
;)
I'm glad we came to pre-conference yesterday. Got a nice bit of snow which I can watch safely from the hotel. The first real snow of the season, people forget how to drive.
Zen, I'll mail you some from Ohio.
First real snow of the winter in DC today.
We are getting it too!! Here in Philly burbs! This is awesome!!
Crazy snow here again...my dad left a few hours ago to get me some non-bald tires...and isn't back yet
First time we've had snow in December in two years, I think.
A very large system is moving in today...but we can only expect a couple inches at our altitude...Just enough snow to have dangerous driving conditions but not enough to get snowed in.....My house slippers want me back this morning, they miss me....I wish....So far it's just raining a very cold rain. How annoying....last year at this time people were snowed in here everywhere. So far, just cold rains...I want to dig myself out and away from work, go sledding, make hot chocolate, and a snow-man.
:)
I don't mind snow... which was received last week. It's pretty, it melts easily. You don't have to chip it off your car. I hate the ice and ice accumulation. We're under an ice storm warning here in Central Illinois that is to go until midnight Tuesday. :mad: Ice sucks.
melidasaur...
I can remember some ice storms in Illinois from when I was a kid...That is rough...It got so bad one year that it was almost impossible to walk outside...
I remember having to be thrown a screwdriver to chip knee holes in the ice to get up a hill back to our house in our neighborhood...Now that is icy, and I often forget how central Illinois can freeze over.
So far, we've been spared. It's been raining for about a day and the temp is hovering around 33. It's a sloppy mess, but if the temp ever drops, it will be really bad.
Oh baby I've been looking for 10 inches.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
We have namby pamby weather right now...just rainy and crappy. I love summer rain but this just sucks.
I wish we'd get a big blizzard so they'd close the college (which they hardly ever do.)
yep, snowin purrrdy hard here...I'm in the darkish blue areas on that shot as well.
I got a notice that our Boston office closed at 2PM for the snow. My parent flew out of Boston this morning to come here. They got out in the nick of time.
In the 80's in Savannah yesterday. I just had a hard time trying to figure out which pair of shorts I wanted to wear to work yesterday. :D
Eat your heart out snow-dwellers.
I want a snow day!!! But no, it's 80+ degrees and feels nothing like winter here in Florida.
It does get old after a while. A little change in temp would break up the monotony nicely. Supposedly going to drop a bit over the weekend...how exciting!
I guess they're expecting a "winter storm" over the weekend. Of course, our local media starts freaking out about what we laughingly call "The White Death" the second a few snow flakes start. It's not that we're not used to snow, it's just something to keep them on the air I guess.
Eat your heart out snow-dwellers.
Meh, I love snow.
Shawnee, where in Ohio are you?
I drove a school bus in that crap last week. I can't believe Groveport didn't cancel school. Of course, they cancelled Friday, when the worst was over. I spent over an HOUR to get 3 miles on Gender Road Wednesday morning. I was ready to KILL someone.
I'm hoping it really pukes on us this weekend. Maybe they'll close school. LOL
no snow....but the ice sure was pretty.
LJ, it is! I love being able to look at it from the inside... like I will be this weekend. :)
It's when I have to drive in it, be that in my car or the school bus.
SCARY!
Yay, thanks LJ! I'll try and get some photos of our snow up soon too :)
Wow. living in the ice storm area must suck. How do you get an ice storm anyway? Does it like rain ice, or just rain and freeze instantly? I mean we have had blizzards here, but how does a treebranch become a popcycle?
Oh baby I've been looking for 10 inches.
Its snowing here now. If you were here, you could get 10 inches. If you slept with me for five consecutive nights...

the latter ....nasty while it's happening, but pretty the next morning while its melting
Lots of snow overnight here, more coming down, I'm thinking no school tomorrow -they're barely managing to keep the main roads plowed by all accounts. Wheeeeeeeeee! I love snow :D
That's great, Monster! Now all the kids in the 'hood, can come play in your house.
Bwahahahahahahaha.
Nice snow cover! We missed this weekend's mess by a whisker. We'll have school delays but they should be open. Looking like a white winterval... er Christmas! ;)
No snow, but was white here this am. Think the Fig tree learned not to bud in Dec. 27º. Still waiting for ice to melt in toilet. Too cold to use the outhouse.
I see a fort waiting to be built so the likds can blast all the passersby with snowballs.
Tis not building snow -too fine, too cold. But some great fun was had sledding on the golf course this afternoon (I was right, no school). we got about the same again as you see in the pictures. At some point the temperature will raise a little and it will become buildable. They'll probably hollow out the snow pile to the left off my drive to make said fort.
Only downer was we got up to a two foot high, four foot wide pyramid wall of ice barricading the (already cleared) driveway, courtesy of the snowplow team, so we had to dig out before beest could go to work. I think the buggers get a sadisitic high knowing what they're leaving for us.
Two hour delay this morning so I hiked down to borrow the tractor... and Dad was already clearing the driveway. Good man.
SNOW DAY!!!! yup 6th April. it doesn't realy look that bad out there, but I guess they don't know how much more is coming and there are still snow days to use up...... I was so sure it wouldn't be one I didn't check before the kids woke up.... thank goodness I did check before we left! It's beest's birthday, though, so they were happy to get up to give him his presents and now we have a huge bonus day ahead of us to prepare for the arrival of Banana Lady on Weds. And boy do we need it! :lol:
SNOW DAY?!?!
It was Near-Tornado here in Southern Ohya. Ground is too warm for any snow to stick...at least that is what I'm hoping...
Our ground is warm too, but it's coming down faster than it can melt. We have about 4 inches sitting, although the roads are pretty clear. I think the warm ground made it very slippy for the commute, though.
By the way, we're coming to Dayton on Sat Evening

Heh...the
Winds of Death Are Coming story was all over Ch 7 News as always. Then the tornado alarms went off in my town. I didn't budge: what the heck am I gonna do? If the damn Winds of Death want me, they can come and get me. I was thinking last night how weird I am: I thought about a tornado killing me and thought "what an intense way to go" and then I thought about surviving a tornado and thought "what an intense experience" and certainly worthy of a story in Reader's Digest. :rolleyes:
By the time I was driving, around 8 am , the increasing predictions of 5"-10" until 8 PM changed to "severe weather alert cancelled, additional snow maybe 1". not even an oops, our bad :rolleyes:
Happy birthday, Beest. :birthday:
Curse you Al Gore! Curse YOU! :tinfoil:
We are expecting 2 nights in the low 30's tonight and Tuesday night. Of course right after I planted my new veggie plants.
[ATTACH]22820[/ATTACH]
Was supposed to be "The Storm Of The Season".....I think we've gotten about three inches total. Oh well. Enough to soften the ground to plant the Spring garden! And have a mini snowball fight woth Princess of the Ryche.
I just got the stay home tioday call! Six inches on the ground in cherry hill already! We're gonna have some fun today, I think!
YAY! Doncha just love these excellent days of freedom? ENJOY all my east coast brethren!!!! Enjoy!!!!
No-one buys cars in the snow? I think it'd be an awesome day to take something you don't own for a test drive..... :lol:
I took some pics of the snow outside. (obviously....since that's where the snow tends to live...) at night. Most of them didn;t come out well at all, mainly because my hands were shaking too much as I was fecking freezing.
I will get 'em posted tomorrow...and also see if any of the pics of Pilau are post-worthy. I suspect not. I haven't quite figured out the settings yet. Mostly his eyes look like lamps.
Oh yes. She has her camera back.....you may find the Cellar filling up with random shots of me, my village and Pilau the Dog.
it's still freakin snowing. it's been snowing since 6 am. this should last for christmas.
Atta Boy!
[COLOR="White"]man I love the 3pt hitch snowblower[/COLOR]
That's lotsa snow....so pretty!
Jimbo the Snow Diggen MAAAAN !!!
That was a big job, I'd have been into the hot toddies after that.
It's cold and bracing just to look at a photo.
no snow photos, but . . . record low temps. record. City has been shut down for 3 days, and half the people have no power; the other half has no water.
just filled every container in my house I could find with water; kitchen flooded; apartments say water pipes burst and water shut off at least through tomorrow. and I thought I was going to get off easy . . .
I still have power and heat, although many do not. We're being asked to curtail power use and conserve water.
It only snowed a little a few days ago . . . it's warmed up to 32 today . . . but the schools and govt have been closed for three days because of the piss-poor infrastructure in our town. The power plants froze, and everybody's pipes froze.
on the plus side, I guess I can put off that diet I was gonna start tomorrow for another week; not a good week to exercise heavily and drink gallons of water a day
. . . now what do I do?
. . . now what do I do?
Move to Florida? :D
no thanks--too humid. having no water sucks, btw.

"it's beautiful, Mother Nature, but - how rude!"
hahaha!
STILL no fucking water. Mandatory restrictions on water usage (if you have it at all)--no showers. And we only got ONE day of snow--last Tuesday!
lots of stinky Superbowl parties today.
