And assorted stories of a manly winter!

So yeah, seeing as I couldn't get to my main office, had to walk to the other office for work today. Not so bad in the morning. Spent the day eyeing up the lovelies, and shuddering at the fatties, then nicked off home. And on the walk home, I wound up with icicles hanging in my beard. And my 'tache. But like a manly man, I simply found a convenient bear, nutted it once, and went on my way.

Anyone else enjoying this rather cold snap?

The cheek of it! Especially with a Wolf enjoying the snow in your avatar!

My school closed on Thursday so I went for a reasonably long walk in the snow in the park, which came up to my shins. That was fun! Also went to the bank, which was less fun. I started painting my Dwarves in a cold snap last year, looks like they'll be finished in this years cold snap

Bah! Hardly any snow down in Gloucester so it's business as usual otherwise I would have hapily nutted a polar bear, skinned an eskimo and finished the day off with a refreshing pint of anti-freeze.

Anti-freeze? You namby pamby whoopsie! Unless of course you meant 'really icy water with a couple of walrus with tattoos and that in it'

Clearly the lack of opportunities for manly behaviour are affecting your judgement.

Least you guys are lucky. Michigan has been really weird the last couple years as far as the cold goes. There is barely an inch outside, and its kindda melting. Im so PISSED! Usually its friggin cold out by now, and the snow is worth playing in.

But I will be getting my beardcicles in a month or so. January/February is the coldest here, and it never fails

Can't recall this much snow before chrimbo.

But just a thought,
If MrMystery were a real man it would be icicles on the short and curlies.

Testes + Icicles =testicles

Yeah, pretty snowy here in Manchester. I like it.

Saying that, walking across town at 5.30am in the morning was no joke. It was the coldest I've ever been.

Having spent the majority of my life in the American South,icicles in my beard are a rare thing.

I saw it 'snow" in New Orleans a total of perhaps a dozen times over a thirty year period.

Since moving to Atlanta,I've witnessed snow every year,but it seldom last for more than a few days an never gets much deeper than 2 or 3 inches.

I would say I long for a white Christmas,but I once visited Chicago in February and...nope...I'll pass on that sort of weather.

Cold, but hardly manly.

Come back when you've challenged a Polar Bear to a roshambo, letting it go first instead of being all kind of half French and clubbing defencless Seals!

ONLY -2 DEGREES CELSIUS! You think that's cold Kamloops got -19 a few weeks ago and we still have several more months of winter to go.

Yea I agree, 29 degrees isnt spit. I get my mail in that. Around here, January/February gets below 0 at the warmest parts of the day. Hell its not uncommon to hit -15 to -20 during that time.

I have been snowed in at O'Hare in February. You are correct, it blows.

Surley it must snow somewhere in Australia? Granted it's most probably toxic and radioactive. Just like everything else in your 'outback'.

Cold snap? What's that?

It's seventy F here.

Pah! This is all child's play.

Cold is -30F with the wind howling, having to go under the house with a hairdryer and a blowtorch to thaw out your water pipes!

Oh, and when you're done with that, shovel 2 feet of snow off of your roof!

Winter in the the mountains of NH is like Dethklok; dark and brutal.

Really? I'm from Canada and we still don't even have snow, how can it be cold enough for an American to have ice in his beard?

Seriously? Kamloops isn't that cold or snowy for Canadian standards (It's a freaking desert full of cowboys and metal-heads) and even we have snow.
