Blizzard strikes AGAIN!

Only 2 inches? A blizzard?

I know what you mean. Itā€™s 76Ā° outside where I am.

Good thing I have a sweater.

Come on! I put the AC on at 69

BlizZard is at again.

Pack it in everyone!

my cat Oreo has been out all morning chasing snow flakes. It is one of her favorite games.

Itā€™s always so cute when cats either just stick one paw on the snow and nope out back into the house or they go BONKERS to play in the snow

Almost three decades ago (egads) a coworker bought one on the eve of ā€œthe storm of the century.ā€ An inch of fluffy snow fell. (To be fair, we did have a series of storms the next year, though he may have moved by then.)

Heat wave! Itā€™s 69 here in Vegas.

call in late? More like call in and say that I"m not showing up I have mysteriously ate something that has given me a mild case of the runs yesterday. I never show up when thereā€™s more than 6 inches of snow until the plows go through and the salt is down.

No way in hell am I braving the stupid that goes into the 95 corridor on days like that. Very little point too usually considering i would most likely be stuck in it for literal hours before i get there because us filthydelphians canā€™t seem to not count the snowflakes falling on our windshields at that early of an hour. Adding precipitation and asphalt just seems to do something to us.

Ive literally done that for years though now. The boss man knows it, doesnā€™t care either since I have done / do extra stuff for that turd sandwich to be nice. We have an agreement to not nit pick because I have, and will have zero issues doing everything to the corporate letter. No more fixing mistakes and brushing it under the rug full write ups as my job commands so his boss can get their jimmies ruffled. That happened literally twice before we agreed to just let things work well so no one has to do extra paperwork

We have a huge snowblower with heated hand-grips. I really like it.

Years ago, when I lived in snow country in the west, one morning it was snowing hard. Halfway to work, I turned around and went home. My boss razzed me. Two hours later, the snow still dropping, I became the smart one as everyone who went to the office tried to figure out how to get home safely.

And earthquakes. Donā€™t forget the earthquakes.

I have friends that keep asking me to move out to the midwest. Itā€™s cheaper, they said. We are all here, they said.

You have subzero temps and snow. #@! no!

To be fair, for what a house costs you anywhere west of I-5, you can buy a palace in Illinois, complete with a carriage house, tennis courts, and horse stables.

Sort of reminds me of those people in Georgia a few years back who got like sub 5 inches of snow and they literally started abandoning their cars on the highway.

That was probably the most magical thing I ever saw involving snow outside of me getting sandwiched between 2 tiny box trucks in my first truckā€¦ It was a wonderful affair where Iā€™m ultra thankful i was in actually driving a pickup at the time because while I prefer the tiny cars I totally woulda been squishedā€¦ like a grape otherwise

From that day forward marked the first snow day was nope day for work. Driving in the snow is fine but TBH i would rather not risk something like that happening now when i drive VW

yeah, being in Chicago, we can get 10 of these storms in a winter, or like last year, never get more than 3 inches at a time. i should just stick with the electric i have as its more than capable for 90% of the snow we get. but weeks like we just hadā€¦ man would it have been niceā€¦

and the one i wanted, wasnt that bad. for the size, power and features, it was a good deal. saturday the website said they had 12 in stock, sunday they were sold outā€¦ Shoulda bought that effin snowblowerā€¦

I donā€™t know go north for about a hundred fifty miles you see all the snow you want there is a city in Arizona called Flagstaff

Oh Iā€™ve been to flagstaff before just not during snowy seasons. Went up there when it was mostly ā€œchill rainā€ weather and it was nice.

Itā€™s only 60 here :slightly_frowning_face:

I was in San Antonio, Texas back in 2006 going into 2007. The entire city had a very think layer of frost one morning and the entire city was shutdown for the day lol. Me and my buddies from the east coast were like ā€œwtf is going on here?ā€ We were downtown that day looking for something to, only thing open was the mall (not the stores though) and fast food restaurants lol. Was pretty funny but also cool to see the dramatic culture difference in relates to ā€œbad weather.ā€

News said is was the first time they seen snow/frost in 20 yearsā€¦and it didnā€™t even snow lol.
