haha, I saw it on the news last night randomly. Was laughing pretty good because they started talking about 2 feet of snow blahblah and me and my friend were starting to piss and moan. Then they pause and say that it sucks for the mid-atlantic area but we'll have a nice weekend up here in NE.
I've got about 10" or so outside. It's still snowing, so I'm not sure how much I'll end up with. I went grocery shopping Thursday night, there was almost a riot, fighting over a loaf of bread. People get so panicked about these things.

Like the snow is never going to melt!
I am in Philly and I have like 2 feet outside my house right now.
I've never seen so many people fall trying to leave the bars across from my apt in my entire life, It was unexplainably halarious. around 20inches+, and we're scheduled for another ft ish tue/wed AM
Delaware has apparently decided to divert all snow removal money towards hookers and blow, or something... because there is a 2 - 3 inch sheet of ice on every road in the state that isn't 95, 41, 141 or 48.
They "plowed" I guess, cause there are mounds of snow on the side of the road, but I'm not convinced they installed the plow facing the right way. It looks like they dragged the back side of that shit over the snow, packing it down.
The budgets (state and local) were exhausted by the previous 18" and 8' snowfalls. They have sort-of plowed some of the roads while others are entirely left alone. With another foot of snow coming Tuesday afternoon I plan to stock up on food today, and continue to lay low. My parents got the worse end of it, losing power on Fri evening and not getting it back til midnight Sunday night, about 52 hours sans electricity.
Individuals are fine, but there just isnt any more money to remove snow.
Oh, and my car is buried under a 6 ft drift/plow pile. I will park somewhere else next time.
Makes me feel better about my "lows in the twenties highs in the forties". Of course the failing heating system is not a bonus. Got a call in to the repair guy.
God damn more snow coming for my birthday tomorrow. Good thing I'll be in no condition to drive anyways /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
GOD DAMN SNOW W:ETLKJSDF:lkjasd;flkjasd.fasdf......
Oh wait thats right, I live in FL, i couldn't see snow outside if i tried. This means that even if I had someone with bucket full of snow sitting on the roof and they dumped it off, by the time it got to the point I could see it, it would just be rain. Even if I was sitting in a field, and the person standing right next to me had a bucket full of snow and tried to dump it on me, it would be like more like taking a shower than anything else I can think of at the moment.
What I really mean to say is, enjoy the temperature you have now while it lasts. Because with global warming coming our way, pretty soon the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are going to cause the polar ice caps to melt, and then the oceans are going to rise, all hell is going to break lose in terms of natural disasters, and as a result war and disease, and then somehow its going to cause an ice-age, and then its going to be like that, except colder, and all year round.

First of all. Fuck snow. And fuck the cold.
Second of all, there's a reason Fark has a Florida tag... just sayin.
Third of all:
Some places get warmer making other places cooler.
We'll have more on this story and more at 11. Hope to see you there.

Ooooohhhhh, Calling for a possible one to two inches of snow here on Friday. That is equivalent to seven and a half feet up north. World is going to end. No bread or milk will be left in the stores. The high for Friday will be 37 degrees, the snow will take forever to melt. Roads will be impassable for HOURS! ZOMG! It may even be Saturday before all the snow melts. Whatever shall we do? Wherever shall we go? Panic Panic Panic Fret Fret.
Just a taste of how people around here react to the mere possibility of snow. Seriously they are going to freak. I have seen the schools closed because of the possibility of one-half inch of snow. No joke. They announced the schools would be closed the day prior to the possible half-inch. Schools were closed, and sure enough it did not snow. Basically I had a day out of school because of the fear mongers.
Admittedly you would not want to be on the roads around here if there is ice on them. Not many people can drive in those conditions here. Complete and total lack of experience.
It would make a nice youtube video though. I could title it "Rednecks on Ice" or the "Redneck Follies".
I went snowboarding today for a few hours. I've never boarded while in a blizzard, it was awesome. Trying to get back into the city when 476, 76, 295, and 95 were closed...not so awesome.
Next time please snow when I have the day after off.
Yeah, they closed 81, 83, 581, 441, and pretty much every other road in Harrisburg today. I'm so glad my car's under a foot of snow, otherwise I'd be pissed that I can't drive anywhere.
Fucking plows... one would think that they'd run them at least once down all the roads AFTER the snow was done, but noooooo. 1/2" of snow all over the roads.
Well, it's snowing in Alabama. Nothing seems to be sticking to the roads though. Trees, grass, vehicles yes. Does not look like it will be lasting more than a few more hours though. Nothing major. I was going to be upset because I loaned my sister my 4 wheel drive truck and I wanted to play in the snow in it. Not enough to worry about unfortunately. There is always the lil' tractor.
12 p.m. Saturday. All the snow has gone. Might find a tiny bit in the shade somewhere though. It was horrible. I had to go to the bank yesterday and the roads were wet. The horror.
Weather in Hawaii is quite nice, however I'm heading to 29 Palms, CA this evening for 30-45 days of training and in the desert, it gets cold at night. Sure, there may not be snow, but I'll manage just fine. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
