My buddy's been on the road for 6 hours and still is not home.

But I got home fine and the missus and I had a snowball fight.



Mrs. Kyoto is ready for the weather.

Now WHEN will they announce that work is closed tomorrow? We all know it's coming, but SAY IT!

My midterms are delayed.

I want to do them, but the man's putting me down...

Glad you guys made it home safely!


On an unrelated note, this snow has been entirely inconvenient. It has caused me to miss two (2) gaming nights in the past month alone!

Amen Brother Kyoto! Amen! I can't imagine things'll be open at this point... But it'd be nice to know for sure...

Valete,

Will someone tell me how, in the capital of the free world, a MILLION people can be without power, because of SNOW?

I mean seriously, we go through this every year, HOW? WHY? I was in Red China for 2 years and never lost power.

Just happy I still have power but I lost it last time.

I'm up in Alaska right now on the southwest side. Your puny environment is no match for our fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle weather!

Lol, people who don't know how to drive in snow.

son I like what you've done there.

Sigh, 2 hour delay but work is still open. Where are the wimps of last year?

Yeah... I effectively got 4hrs late start, but still...

I don't even get a break from school! That's what I get for being home-schooled.

Got about 3-4 inches yesterday morning from storm #1. Then last night around 7 it started snowing again. It was supposed to snow all night, so I figured before I went to bed I'd give it a quick shovel to reduce my load today.

I stepped out around 9 to discover I already had 8 inches of snow. That's a rate of 4 inches per hour. The word "Snowpocalypse" came to mind at the time. Ended up with 12 or 13 in that second storm. Crazy stuff.

Here in NC we already got our snow about two weeks ago. Thank god it's all gone now.

Sady where I live in Michigan, we didnt get squat. This winter has been a huge let down as far as winters should go.


Sweord - I was home schooled a bit as well. Id say neat-o or something but it really wasnt

I'm in Minnesota. It's pretty bad up here.

Lucky bastard! I was actually looking forward to shoveling snow, exercise and all. But Ive honestly done it twice this year. And one time I really didnt have to do it.

Yeah. My mom want to keep me out of the high school here, which is one of the really crappy ones in Maryland, apparently. I just really want to go to publice school again.

On topic: last year's snow was awesome. Compared to that, what we got was relatively wimpy.

Bring it on I say! the more powder the better!

The main problem about homeschooling is the lack of social interactions

You can't lose what you don't have...

I'm in Texas, it doesn't get below 30 F (aka tshirt and shorts weather in Alaska).

Absolutely. I was a talkative little bugger in 1st grade. Since then, I've been so shy, I rarely talk to someone on my own initiative.

Oh well, when your old enough to get a job, thatll fix ya right up

Just dont get preggers ya

I'm already 16, after getting my drivers permit, that's the first that I'm gonna do.

Just dont get preggers ya

O.M.G. I can get pregnant?! I didn't think that happened to boys. Joking. I get where you're going with that thought. Unless you thought I was a girl.

No didnt think you were a girl bud, Ive been on DAKKA long enough to know you just call everyone guy/man/dude until the 10000th time your finally corrected

Sides it takes 2 to get preggers, you may not carry it, but youll still want to slice your wrists open for the first year

sigged lol

We got slammed yesterday.. I had to drive 20 miles to my girlfriend's house to shovel 15" off her driveway... which was more like 4 feet down by the road thanks to the plow mounds :( I just have a puny little home depot $10 snow shovel but it did the trick.

they're calling for more snow next week.. there's nowhere to put all the crap we have now. it's been snowing pretty much twice a week since xmas.

Snowing again today.

Here too. At least it's good snowball snow.

........curses

So, who's been getting a workout from all this snow?

I worked 4 hours strait after getting up, shovelling a good portion of my neighbor's driveway and some sidewalks
