F*ck you Mother Nature!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

OK then....bend over

*does so* Use that nozzle now.

Seriously, the saddest part of the whole thing is if I were a kid I'd be loving all this snow.

It just so happens that this year the public school kids get 2 full weeks off of school, just because of where all the holidays are falling. There used to be years when I was in school where I didn't even get an entire week off for Christmas.

And seeing how the heaviest snow is supposed to be going on in the morning and last until the afternoon I bet tomorrow's a snow day to boot.

Snowmen and snowball fights and sledding, oh yes the sledding. There was a really great sledding hill right behind my house. It went down into a parking lot and the ridges of snow created by the plows made a great ramp to launch you off of when you got to the bottom.

Now that I'm an adult, I get all the work that goes with snow and none of the fun. Boo.

Hey, I can still walk out onto my balcony wearing nothing but a dressing gown.

Yes, I *am* still in Helsinki, Finland, at 60° North Latitude.

Of course, I have to turn around and go back inside after a minute or so, before my feet freeze off due to the cold concrete floor...

...but I can still go out there.

So I had kind of a surreal moment today.

Was working at The Bar, and happened to glance up at the tv mounted over the front window doors. The tv was tuned to CNN, and they were showing various pictures from cities up north dealing with winter storms, snow, and ice.

And I'm looking at this tv, and right behind it through the windows I'm seeing a perfect Key West December day: 78°F, palm trees swaying slightly in the breeze, people walking around in shorts and t-shirts and sandals.

And I turn to my coworker, point to the tv and the scene behind it, and say, "THAT is why we live here!"

Hope y'all don't hate me more for this.....

[fireheart]

Yes please. Lots.

OK then....bend over

I think it was old time weather guy on channel 5 (or was it 11) that started that about 30 years ago

The only two weathermen I'm familiar with from those stations are John Chandik and Phony Baloney Tom Mahoney. (that's what somebody in my family calls him, not sure who though).

Did you need some more lube for that Irv?

Yes please. Lots.

The forecast is down to 4 to 8 inches tomorrow night, but another snowstorm is forecast for Sunday.

[fireheart]

Somebody please save me, Frosty is shoving it in deep.

"Frosty the snowman, wearing leather and a whip,
He dominates all his Christmas mates,
and spreads his good white cheer!"

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

6 to 10 more inches of snow tomorrow night into Friday!

Somebody please save me, Frosty is shoving it in deep.

I suppose it would be inappropriate for me to point out that I was working last night in shorts and a t-shirt.

On the outdoors roof deck.

Yeah, that would be inappropriate.

I'm quite comfortable wandering around in jeans and a shirt at the moment...

Oh, yer, inappropriate yer. Oops

[Racket_Man]

When did the fucktards in charge of GB weather decided to start naming snowstorms as if they were hurricanes?!?!?

I seriously want to hurl every time they say it's "name."

Come share a hug with me Becks. I know I shouldn't whine......you, Becks, Irv, Blaquekat, Ljt, and a few other Wisconsinite CSers live more south than me and always get the major brunts of the all the storms. But it still sucks nonetheless!

A week ago there was no snow on the ground....just a few pathetic rounds of just a hint of snow that would disappear the next day. Now we're getting pounded.

Frosty is on a spree!

yuppers a foot on the ground then rain with a lot less snow now bitter cold and MORE snow

More snow.

I moved back to WI from NJ for this?!?!?!?

WB Becks. ya just have ta get used to it again


I grew up in this crap all of my life, from St. Louis to Chicago to Green Bay. yeah it does get a LITTLE old aftera while esp last year when the snow would not shut up from Thanksgiving to the end of March (and this year is not looking much better). started before Thanksgiving and it continues.

Just makes my job VERY interesting

I HATE WISCONSIN WINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...I distinctly recall pining for snow, not ICE. (sigh) We set a record low yesterday (19F) and are supposed to break that sometime around Friday (with winds, of course - it's always the freakin' wind that gets me).

I know it's not Wisconsin cold, but it's really, really, really cold for Seattle. And we can't even play hockey outdoors here. Sucks. If this keeps up I'll have to go live in Jester's freezer (since it's tropical and all).

[AdminAssistant]

I had to go out today to run by the library (dropped off one of my books with their books...oops!) and buy toilet paper. It was 10 F with 30 mph winds.

*shudder*

Not as bad as the folks further north, but it is NOT supposed to be this cold this early. I fear this winter.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Today it felt like it was -60 celsius, with winds gusting to almost 50 mph. (When I checked the Weather Channel just before heading to work, it said the winds were gusting up to 46 mph).

Yesterday it was in the 40s and raining much of the day, melting some of the snow.

Not to worry, Mother Nature will make up for the lost snow tomorrow night, with 3 to 5 inches forecast. Ought to make for an interesting commute to work Wednesday morning.

Sorry, that's -49 Celsius, which is -56 Fahrenheit. Did you know that the human eyeball freezes at -60 Celsius? Fun times!

Now that's just fucking cold.

I bet if you were to spit into the air and try to catch it in your mouth, it'd be a little ice crystal by the time it hit the back of your throat.

Enjoy the thought, kids.

[Jester]

Celsius, Fahrenheit, doesn't matter. My freezer is still huddled in the corner, whimpering in terror and trembling convulsively. It is, after all, a tropical freezer.
