I Love Snow and Sleet!!

[OnoMan]

Its 10:30 AM and the snowplow just finally went up the street, where the heck were they when I tried to go to work this morning and ended up saying f*** it and turned around and went back home to my nice comfy bed!! Thats it I am not paying my taxes that will show em!!hehe

[Jon Liu]

hahaha, nice. Not a problem we run into here in Southern California. I remember back in the day, the only time school was "cancelled" was when there was brushfires in the hills/mountains relatively nearby (more like 30-50 miles away) and since it was pretty ashy they had to cancel school for us.

I don't remember when that was, maybe mid-90's.

I am so happy we got the storm we did here in the north east. We lost power in the area and they had to close the school. Now I have another week to review for my 2 upcoming tests.

I didn't lose power, but it snow from about 7 to 9 last night turned to sleet til about an hour ago and now its snowing like crazy

We didn't get any sleet last night, just 3 inches of freezing rain. I awoke at 3am to find that my brothers car inherited a 5 foot branch on the hood. Always fun to run outside in freezing rain in boxers and no jacket to check the damage. I think I'm sterile now.

Yeah Ono, this blows. Thankfully I can telecommute whenever I need to. I finished everything I needed to get done today and I still haven't showered yet. Bonus. Outside it looks pretty terrible though, I may have to go start the car in a few just to get the healthy layer of ice off it.

That sucks, as does freezing rain. If you are sterile I'm fairly certain you can successfully sue your brother for healthy sperm. That's always a plus.

It's freakin 1pm here and it still hasn't gotten above zero...and with the snow we got yesterday, its making the roads pretty slick. Oh well, I hear it may actually get above freezing this weekend, nice!

No one wants my brothers sperm, I'm fairly sure he's mildly retarded. I don't think I'm sterile anymore, an hour of the heating pad and I feel productive once again.

Holy hell you know its bad when McD's and Burger King and Taco Bell are closed. I was hungry and after clearing my driveway I just wanted something quick and braved the weather to go get something to eat, and everything was closed even the little pizza shop here. Not to mention all the roads are drifting shut. Should be an interesting drive to work tomorrow!!LOL

The only time they cancelled school for me growing up in Alaska was....never! The cut off for "too cold to open school" was -50 below in Fairbanks. But North Pole, were I lived, is always about 12 degrees colder. So I went to school at -60 below. And to let you know, -60 below is so cold that when it would warm up to -20 below, you thought it was heaven!

Dude - how did you guys get ANY work done in Santa's Sweatshop?

[Crippler]

You pansy. Even w/ 4 wheel drive you couldn't come in a hang with me and the other 10 people that made it to work. It was a ghost town yesterday in the plant.

That's why you need your snow suit, energy pack and graple... Energy gun could help as well.
