Luckily this one is gonna pass by me which, after being by pelted by the last dozen or so storms, is fine by me!

Luckily I got out of work as it started. I have night classes tomorrow but I'm staying in if the snow is too chaotic.

...Actually, as I'm typing this the news just announced my classes are canceled tomorrow. Yay!

(It was blowing so hard that the little flecks of snow hurt when they hit my face. Jeez.)

I shall probably carry on as usual.

I will be waiting for it to hit New England! WOO... no

I get to go to work, unless the boss decides otherwise, the roads are impassable, or I get stuck and slowly freeze to death in my car.

Wow, looks like it is actually missing Minnesota entirely O.o

Yay, my boss just called. I'm going back to bed.

We're supposed to get tornadoes in the southeast instead of blizzards. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as they think.

In the midst of a blizzard, only our district manager would say "Sure, we still have work today! ....oh, but I guess since your restaurant manager can't even get there to open the doors, I guess you can open an hour late."

Then again, I'm excited to get paid to do something I enjoy without the pain-in-the-butt customers 😀 It's like a dream come true!

Well, I just got back from shoveling HALF of my driveway. The snow is above knee-level in most places. However, the driveway right between our houses has a wicked snow drift about as tall as me (6 feet.) It's like a friggin' luge track. It has a wicked left bend which ends at the mound of snow on the grassy (when it isn't covered with snow I mean) median between our houses which could act as a ramp. Wish I had a sled and some way to propel it. Got some help from the neighbors, who probably took pity on the guy with the longest driveway armed with only a shovel against 2+ feet of snow. They started at the other end and didn't know where my driveway began and ended, so my work bottlenecks into theirs. I won't knock them for helping me out without asking, but did they think I drove a Mini?

ADD: Oh yeah, and that ice I complained about in the other weather topic? Still f___ing there.

I got lost driving through it. It was apparently cold enough to form ice sickles on the mirrors while the car was in motion. Also, saw a truck with a trailer crash from one side of the road to the other. That was frightening.

All we got from this crap down where I live (near DC) is rain (which happened to wash away most of the remaining ice/packed in snow on my parking space at home from our last winter storm.  And I'm quite grateful that fact.  After dealing with Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddeon, and Snowerkill last year, I wouldn't mind one bit if we never got hit by another major blizzard ever again.

I did dodge a bullet during our last snowstorm over a week ago (which dumped almost a foot of snow, causing the above-mentioned buildup of snow and ice on my parking space).  Had I left work one hour later than I did (horray flex time), I would've been stuck in traffic for an extremely long time.  I've heard horror stories about people stuck in traffic for almost 12 hours just to go 20 miles away. *shudder*  Although the fact that it started near the very beginning of rush hour probably had a huge factor in that.

And now it's gotten cold again where I am and snowing off and on.

Haven't we had enough snow and ice for one year?

Not likely. It isn't March yet, so there's still the chance of more and more snow.

Blech!

I live in the South. We're not supposed to have snow and ice down here!

How did I spend the 'blizzard"? Waiting for UPS to deliver my damn packages... All 3 have been delayed, while USPS came through no problem...

There has to be a logical excuse for that, right? Maybe they stopped for doughnuts and decided to blame the weather? I know I would.

I got rain.

I thought it was amazing, I had never heard thundersnow before.

Thundersnow, guys.

It was awesome.

And flipping DANGEROUS.  Thundersnow is the most dangerous dang stuff.  A severe storm that blockades roads with snow. 

Looks like we're gearing up for a another jaunt into the snow again down here.  Will you guys up north PLEASE keep a leash on your blizzards.  We promise no more EF3's this summer if you stop sending snow down here.

we're not in the Arctic anymore

The pipes in my kitchen froze. 8D More seriously, a lot of people were without natural gas service for a few days in surrounding areas. Some even without electricity, thanks to Texas' power grid of failure.
