Snow

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I wish people would learn how to deal with snow. I can understand if you're from the equator and have never seen snow before but come on.

Points in question:

I was planning on still going to work during this

I usually bulk up and deal with it.

[Shrubfest]

I apologize for my country being shit in snow.

Really, it was just an excuse to all have the day off.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That's a fair answer. I think I'm just agitated at the fact that we never close because of snow.

[Shrubfest]

Sorry. Try harder next time!

We just got a bunch dumped on us, and usually Ohio handles snow kind of badly, but then again we're still recovering from this:

Seriously, there are still trees down.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Trees down are no good. I'm excited because it's going to be up to 40 degrees tomorrow. I could get away with wearing shorts.

I keep trying for a snow day but it never works.

If you miss work or school here for less than 6 inches you get laughed at.

I think you guys in Buffalo probably get more snow than us being down-jetstream from the lake though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Where are you from Vapor?

[VaporTrailx1]

Milwaukee, 90 miles north of Chicago.

It was hilarious how much fuss was made over the tiny amount of snow we got here these last couple of days.

A lot of schools shut down, the majority of roads were at a standstill and my girlfriend got an e-mail from university saying no one had to come in if they thought it might be too dangerous...

OH NO A LIGHT SNOW COVERING LETS SHUT THE COUNTRY DOWN

Milwaukee, 90 miles north of Chicago.

I'm sure we've all never heard heard of Milwaukee.

[ZeldaQueen]

MetalMilitia, I'm really hating your girlfriend's university right about now.

Sometime last week, there was this horrendous day of snow and freezing rain. Trying to get somewhere was like a mixture of crossing the Tundra and wading through a semi-frozen pond. Everyone was soaked and freezing. My brother's high school canceled. The two colleges about five blocks away both canceled. University of Pittsburgh? Nada. >:

And I'm used to snow too, but it's still a pain when there's a freaking ton of it. Or ice. I was walking to the train station about two days ago and part of the walk involved going down a hill. The cement path on the hill was all icy and frozen. When I went to walk on the snowy part, I discovered that that was all icy too! I had to punch my shoes through the ice to get down.

[Shrubfest]

MM, HAHAHAHAHAH!

I got shit-loads more snow than that, and my uni was still open! Most of the snow is still here. My cat's been in a bad mood all week cos we only cleared a small bit of the garden.

[Zomboid]

Fuck's sake. I've never heard of there being a snow day for any of the colleges and universities here :(. I guess because we're Canadian, we're supposed to just trudge through feet of snow with a smile if it comes to that.

[Kitsa]

The day of my jury (that's like the big-deal finalfinal exam where you have to sing in front of the music dept professors, American Idol style) for my music degree, there was a snowstorm. But they weren't cancelling. It took 2 hours to make the 45 min drive to campus, I slogged through knee-high snow to the theatre, and I sang with it falling in chunks off my legs and pooling around my boots on stage.

fuck yeah.

I got the degree.

[Sam]

I love snow.

[Zomboid]

I love snow too. Especially if by snow you mean coke. And by coke you mean the beverage. I actually prefer pepsi to coke though.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

They're having a pond hockey tourney outside of my work all day today but the temperature went up to 40*. I haven't stopped by yet but it sounds like its still going on.

Congrats!

I actually had an Asian Arts test the day of snow and freezing rain. That's why I didn't beg my mom to just let me stay home. The class had three tests and they were basically the basis for our grades, so I couldn't really skip one.

[Supafly345]

I don't think people who gets tons of snow understand how expensive it is to prepare for us who only get snow one week a year. It just isn't worth it, and is better to just shut down for a day.

And then you find a note from the prof saying only an idiot would come to class. :/

[Kitsa]

Oh god I remember that in college, when you'd get to class, 45 mins from your home, no other classes that evening only to find a damn note on the door saying it was cancelled.

I hated that. I've been known to yell badwords and kick cinderblock walls.

[Esuohlim]

I wore a t-shirt and shorts today because it was 38 degrees out (about 3 degrees for you celcius fags) and it seriously felt like summer compared to the last month or so. The sun was out and everything, it was great

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Here comes the flu.

[TheBigMan045]

We never get snow here in Auckland but at the moment its around 25-26 every day (celcius for all you americans, notice I didnt call you fags)

[Kitsa]

It's supposed to be 60F here for the next couple of days, that's wonderful

Except when all our snow melted it revealed a ton of dogshit I had to clean up :/

[Esuohlim]

(celcius for all you americans, notice I didnt call you fags)

Well maybe you should next time >:

Being nice and considerate can get you banned

[Tadao]

Ugh, my classes communicate cancellations via e-mail, but I don't check my account too often.

It's actually warm in Pittsburgh now and almost all of the snow's melted, so I'm happy. Much as I enjoy the snow, I hate having to check for ice Russian Roulette-style with each step I take.

[TheBigMan045]

sorry turdmuncher new to this mocking business
