It's snowing!!!!

Jaye Jang · 10-10-2008, 05:17 PM

I'm going to protest this to the weather person. How dare it!!! We're having a blizzard. That's not supposed to happen. We're going to have a 'white' Hallowe'en. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to have a Hallowe'en snowman this year.

Geoluhread · 10-10-2008, 05:43 PM

I envy you

Underwater Ophelia · 10-10-2008, 05:43 PM

This may be the only time I say this on here, but I am extremely jealous.

Saya · 10-10-2008, 06:33 PM

Shovel up what you can, put it in a big box, and mail it here.

We had flurries the other day but that was it

Jaye Jang · 10-10-2008, 06:41 PM

Well, one of my neighbors beat me to it. He's already out making a snowman and dressing it as .... the Unibomber???? Maybe not such a good game plan. After all, the local 'constabulary' are hypervigilant here. Hmmm.... *makes note to self: Do not dress snowman as the local sheriff.* Ha!

TheBloodEternity · 10-10-2008, 06:46 PM

We don't even have white Christmases. I hate you!

Jaye Jang · 10-10-2008, 06:51 PM

TBE, GOI. (No, seriously. We used to go visit our relatives in the Carolinas and I can remember running through the sprinkler in my swimsuit on Christmas).

Moonlightballet · 10-10-2008, 09:06 PM

Ah, yes I heard it was snowing in Idaho.

BLEED REBELION!!! · 10-10-2008, 09:14 PM

I'm sorry.

SNOW SUCKS ASS!
Maybe you'll get lucky and you'll have an "Indian summer".

Jaye Jang · 10-10-2008, 09:21 PM

So, Moonlight. How's the weather in Wisconsin? (I have relatives there. They have a maple syrup farm. When my kid was a youngster she thought that was awful. Finally found out she thought they were saying 'Mabel' syrup, so she thought they made it out of little girls named Mabel, and they thought that was pretty funny, so they still call it that. I think they must be 'goth' at heart).

I hate snow, it's so boring.

StrangeLove · 10-11-2008, 02:22 AM

:O

It's just .. rain here.

Joker_in_the_Pack · 10-11-2008, 02:27 AM

I love snow, honestly. I absolutely hate the summer.

JCC · 10-11-2008, 02:40 AM

Rain > snow.
Winter > summer.
Cold > hot.

It has been snowing here too. Not a blizzard though. Just alternate snow and hail. It sucks.
The only good part of snow is school closures; our schools close at the drop of a hat, leaving maths and chemistry in favour of the glorious Internet.

Jaye Jang · 10-11-2008, 01:52 PM

AMC, I wish they would close stuff here, but we're so used to snow (winter here, $haDe, starts in August and ends in July) that they only close stuff when the snow buries the schoolbuses. And StrangeLove, I wish it would only rain. We get snow, thaw, freeze, snow, rain, slush, then more snow. So you drive on snow, on slush, on black ice -- sort of like driving on a glacier. About as unstable. In short, slide-offs major. I HATE driving in the winter here.

Saya · 10-11-2008, 02:04 PM

Same here Jaye Jang, it has to be the storm of the century before anything closes. I remember last year we had a terrible terrible blizzard, I was working and they said if we went home that would count agaisnt our attendance (we only got ten days a year, if you missed more you get put on a warning for six months, if you missed a day on the six months you get put on a warning for a year, if you get to the final warning you can't miss a day for a year and a half 0.0 I'm sure that can't be legal). That was an outrage, metrobus pulled its buses off the road at six pm, and that was what most of us needed to get home. So they said they'd pay for our cabs home. So me and a friend called Jiffy cabs (thats who the call center was contracted with) and the dispatch guy said they only had two cabs on the road, and they were completely voluntary and may go home any time. And then some of the managers came in with groceries and bottled water, incase we all had to stay the night. At like nine pm we decided to go home anyway, it was pretty bad out and we did not want to stay the night. Took us about an hour and a half to drive home, and on a clear day its a fifteen minute drive.

Geoluhread · 10-11-2008, 02:06 PM

Wow!! I wanna move there!!

I absolutly love winter... Feeling cold, cold toes and nose,.. I love that feeling!!

jack_the_knife · 10-11-2008, 02:10 PM

Here we have extremely foggy weather, looks absolutely stunning, I love seeing city's from far away when there very foggy.

Jaye Jang · 10-11-2008, 02:18 PM

Geo, you'd get tired of the 'blue nose' syndrome real fast. Trust me. And the cabin fever.
Saya, I can relate. Takes me about two hours to drive either way in the winter. We're up in the mountains, so the worst thing is when the inversion kicks in and we get snow on black ice, etc., coupled with pea-soup-thick fog. Sometimes we just have to pull off the road. (I had to spend the night in my car once until the fog lifted, because the roads were too dangerous to drive on. That got freezy. That always helps especially when you just pulled two shifts and you are reeeallly, reeally tired). BTW, we have the same 'job thing' here. My boss at job #2 told me I cannot get sick until March of next year or I will be job hunting again. Bummer.

Saya · 10-11-2008, 03:08 PM

What we do here is if its a long drive to keep a sleeping bag (the really warm ones for winter camping, can't remember the name for it) in the trunk and lots of drinking water.

dead_dreams · 10-14-2008, 06:44 AM

I love snow

it's the best stuff ever. I hate hot weather

$haDe · 10-14-2008, 07:05 AM

You're so going to hate Thailand, dead_dreams.

dead_dreams · 10-14-2008, 07:12 AM

Really? What's the average temp? I'm in NC and its only 60 degrees right now
