F*ck you Mother Nature!

No snow here in Pittsburgh. Hell, it was 60 F yesterday. Warm enough that I could cruise in the MG with the windows down. Oh, and starting it wasn't as much of a bitch as usual

[blas]

BUMP!

Gotta bring it up again. I'm fucking furious. I know there's nothing that can be done about this....but ughhh......why why why....make it stop!

January....record setting below average temps and record setting windchills...

February, a little bit of everything......and a huge late February snow storm.

Right before that huge dump, temps had gotten mild and snow was melting, roads were clearing......then that huge dump....

Then we got a little break from the snow, the temps slowly rose, everything started melting Tuesday through today.....then tomorrow temps are going to stay above freezing during the day but cooler......turning to all rain by mid-late day Saturday, continuing into Sunday morning as a wintry mix.....then temps will drop to below freezing during the day Sunday, giving us 2-4 inches (but as we know, by tonight or tomorrow the weather folk will raise that to 3-6 or even 6-8 like they always do) and Monday, even cooler temps, and on Tuesday they are forecasting a carbon copy REPEAT of last Thursday, with 6+ inches of snow. The rest of next week looks clear, except temps are only going to get to the 20s during the day. So all the snow and ice that accumulates this weekend and Tuesday is going to stay and just get pounded down on sideroads and residential streets that don't get plowed. It's bad enough that after last Thursday, all the above roads were glare ice and frozen snow until everything started melting, because plows only take care of the main roads and only plow side roads once.

GREAT. Just great. When is it going to stay above freezing and STOP FUCKING SNOWING?

[Becks]

I just looked out the window (I really have to stop doing that... ) and see what at any other time of year would be a fine mist.

Damn snow.

[the_std]

When I woke up this morning, it was -50 Celsius with the windchill. I went right back to bed. It is now -45 Celsius, and that is still way too dang cold for me.

[AdminAssistant]

I came home Saturday, and now it's freezing rain/sleet with highs in the 20's since I got here. My family keeps telling me I brought winter home with me.....but it is supposed to be in the 60's later this week.

[Becks]

this I GOTTA know why.

but then again is it because you bring snow and cold and ice or just because you moved back here?

Both...I think.

Eh, let her daughter's bf come out here to see HIS family, then it'll be his fault. Or something.

"I'mmmm dreeeaaammmmming of a wwwhhhiiiiiiiiiitttteee Christ....masssss....."

Of course, dreaming of such is the only way us tropical folks will get anywhere near that white stuff y'all are bitching about.

Shall I see if I can launch an iceball at Jester? It was fracking twenty-five on Tuesday, with ICE falling from the sky. Not snow, ICE.

yeah going down to Key West and throwing snowballs at Jester would be nice

Take your best shots, kids, but remember, any snowballs or iceballs you launch at me will pretty much be nothing but a splash of cold, refreshing water by the time it gets to me. And there are some days down here that that would be most welcome, actually.

I checked the weather this morning before bed, and it only showed snow for tonight into tomorrow, then a little on Christmas Eve......now guess what?

Snow tonight, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Well, one of those days it's going to get into the 30s (omigosh! Someone open up the pool!!!!!) and it's going to rain, THEN snow later..........

I think I've mentioned this before, but I still don't understand how this works.

I remember vividly last winter, they'd forecast snow on, let's say Thursday, but within a day, the storm picked up speed and it'd be pushed up to Wednesday, sometimes Tuesday night. In the spring and summer....they will forecast rain or storms for Thursday....but all of a sudden, oh no oh no....it's going to hold off until Friday and Saturday. What gives? Is winter weather faster moving?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

8 to 14 inches Tuesday and Wednesday, with the highest amounts along the lake. I.E. where I am.

You know, this will probably be the first time Christmas Eve has been snowy that I can remember, though it probably puts the kibosh on our tree-hopping Christmas Day. The anticipated snowfall probably is also why it was so batshit nuts today, because it may be too dangerous to go out shopping Tuesday and Wednesday.

The drifts are about 3 to 4 feet high in some places and we'll add another foot or so. Pretty soon it'll be like that episode of South Park where the snow melts and they find a child who'd been missing all winter.

In summation: Winter is a day or two old and I'm sick of it already.

[blas]

Ugh, gosh dammit all to HELL!

Tuesdays snowstorm decided it wants to come early. Should be a fun drive home tomorrow morning from work.....3 to 5 more inches overnight tonight. IT WILL NOT FUCKING STOP! Geez....22 days into December and we're pretty much 1/4 of the way to last year's snowfall totals.

Make. It. STOP!!!!! I'm so sick of this "one day" breaks from snow. I am so tired of driving in this....having to leave early, break my fingers off scraping my windshield....my windows being frozen, my locks being frozen.....

I can't quit whining. I know I have no control, but this is just bullshit.

[Racket_Man]

I don't know. Ask the future MIL.

this I GOTTA know why.

but then again is it because you bring snow and cold and ice or just because you moved back here?

yup blas more snow on Tuesday/Wed. and then more possible over the next week.

Dang it STOP for a while. I wanna get to St. Louis in one piece after New Years

AND it looks like we are NOT going to have that just after New Year thaw this time around

[Becks]

I don't know. Ask the future MIL.

[blas]

How is it your fault?

[Becks]

It's time I made a confession.

It's MY fault this winter is going along like it is.

I don't know how I do it, but I do. I wish I didn't.

[blas]

Yesterday was pretty brutal. I had to get some errands done by the end of the weekend, so I had to brave it. Yeah, that sucked. And the snow didn't stop till late last night/early this morning.

We get a day of relief tomorrow, but it's going to be nearly -30 with the windchills. Then 2 to 5 more inches on Tuesday. Then a break on Wednesday (maybe, for now) then more snow on Christmas, then a break on Friday, then more snow Saturday........what is with this. Ugh.
