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!

I live just outside of Toronto and we're currently getting hit hard. I'm really glad I don't have to go anywhere.

Yeah it's starting to get crazy here in the metro area of NY-NJ. I think we might get out early though.

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.

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.

Where are you in PA that you didn't get snow? Crazy!

Update: we only had like 600 people at that party tonight. Nice.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #16 on:** December 21, 2008, 03:14:28 AM »

Oh god. It's back. Snowing like a mother right now.

I always hope for a white Christmas, too.

I always hope for a white Christmas, but this is getting ridiculous.

Where are you from in the Netherlands? I have friends in Friesland.

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?

(Image removed from quote.)

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.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #21 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:

More snow and it's 11 degrees F.

*shivers*

duckman2000 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 22, 2008, 11:02:27 AM »

Well, at least your heater didn't go out.

Tauntaun · « **Reply #25 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.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #26 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.

Tauntaun · « **Reply #28 on:** December 22, 2008, 11:54:53 AM »

My coworkers won't know what hit them.

You know what a gay superhero's power would be? 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.
