Title: snow in the northeast!
Post by: xnikki118x on December 19, 2008, 11:22:28 AM: Once this storm passes, we're supposed to get 5 to 10 inches where I live.

As of 20 minutes ago, here is the view of my backyard from my bathroom window:

And here is the view of our street from my parents' window (sorry their screen sucks):

I woke up at 8:30 or 9 this morning and there was no snow yet. That red Tracker is the car I drive, and I had just driven it like 10 minutes prior to taking that photo. It's coming down, and fast!

Oh, and the best part of this? I was supposed to work at 11 today, but then Ecro called and said the college we both work at was closing at 10:30. ACE!

Yup, it's absolute chaos. I just got back from picking the gf up from work, where they sent her home early because she's sick. Good thing, because a few more hours of this and I doubt I'd be going anywhere.

Post by: xnikki118x on December 20, 2008, 02:05:18 AM: Today was the first significant snowfall we've had this season. My parents got a puppy in May, so this was her first real experience with a snow-covered yard. She LOVES jumping around in it. Hilarious.

I don't know how much snow we got total. It's still snowing a little bit though.

I'm hoping it keeps the people out of my work tomorrow. The college [Ecro and] I work at holds a big Christmas party every year for the rich yuppies who donate a lot of money to the school. It's tomorrow night. I have to be there at 2:45pm, the party starts at 7, and we're expected to be there until like 1:30am. And OH, I shouldn't intend to eat anywhere from 6pm onward. That's a long time for someone with low bloodsugar like mine. I will be bringing sandwiches in small, portable pieces to sneak if I need to.

So we're expecting 700 people for this party. :( Maybe the snow will cut that number a little and it won't be so hectic. That would be AWESOME.

You have a beautiful country, I love visiting.

Katwijk aan Zee, a small town on the coast in Zuid-Holland. How often you come to the Netherlands?

Going back for Xmas.

I've been there four times (1985, 1993, 1997, 2000). Last time was in 2000. I really need to get back there sometime soon.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on December 21, 2008, 07:17:36 PM: Yeah, I know they have their own language. It's funny how they'll switch from Friese to Dutch depending on where we are.

New pics from today:

Title: Re: snow in the northeast!
Post by: Tauntaun on December 22, 2008, 11:34:51 AM: 19°F

2°F

Got the jacket on and a small personal heater going, our heat is currently not working.
Title: Re: snow in the northeast!
Post by: duckman2000 on December 22, 2008, 11:40:30 AM: Sucks, doesn't it? At least we managed to pity the service people for the heating system into coming out to fix it last night.

I don't know exactly why this is, but the Ann Arbor region is damned near always a few degrees colder than surrounding regions.

12°F
Feels Like
-3°F

Then again, I'm from arctic regions so I'm not supposed to complain about cold weather, but I did move away from that frozen tundra.

He'd buttsecks you so hard that he'd start a fire from the friction and then you'd just blow up because the fire would set off the methane in your bowels. That'd be hawt.
