Did this ever end up happening?
It was just Blizzardās upcoming survival game.

Sure, no problem.
The worst thing about snow is that when you go inside to your 80 degree (Freedom units, not Communist units) home, what you thought was perfectly dry is suddenly soaking wet.
Who did this? Who forgot to pay outsideās heating bill?? Why they gotta do this to Alynsa?!? When did Alynsa start referring to herself in the third person??!!?

Isnāt that just par for the course with blizzard? Hype something big only for it to be boring and lame?

My friends, my gold standard for blizzards is up north, where we had one storm where the wind was so strong, it blew an entire dumpster across the street. A polar bear proof dumpster, so it was solid construction. In that storm, we had a call for chest pain. The roads had huge drifts of snow over them and visibility was nonexistent. The greatest photo I own of myself is one another responder took of me in the back of our EMS Argo, with snowmachine goggles on, shortly before we plowed the argo (with a snowmachine spotter going ahead) up and down the occasionally building high drifts on familiar streets that were suddenly an impassable maze to heroically get someone to the clinic for ā¦ what turned out to be indigestion but thatās not important.
Also, later that winter, a different storm blew an entire shipping container out of the village and onto the ice.
I kinda miss living in the Arctic, though.

Ok, but you see Sledge, I live in a place where we donāt experience frost giant raids, where Iceman would never feel at home, where we donāt keep polar bears as pets and donāt even have any bears!! I have never suffered through a war penguin invasion, nor have I needed to build an iglo.
So while this apocalypse of snow and wind might just be Tuesday for you, to me itās a sign that the apocalypse has arrived and weāre all doomed.
Or that you and Ren really did team up to get back at me for picking on your uncivilized homeworlds by throwing snow storms at me.
Both are equally possible, but I fully believe it is the latter.

About three weeks back, we had a massive windstorm. We lost power for two days and the local KFC had the roof ripped off and sent halfway across the parking lot before getting wedged against a mailbox. The week after that had the temperature drop to -20. Last week was mid 40s.
The weather in general has been very strange this year.

Itās all in what youāve got the infrastructure (and coats) to deal with on hand.
I got absolutely demolished by a nice warm day in Costa Rica when I went on student exchange in high school. Went from mushing dogs (in training for the Iditarod, the dogs, not me, high schoolers donāt run the Iditarod but my high school sport was better than everyone elseās, get rekt rest of world) at 40 below C to 40 above heat. I was flat on my back for like 2 days with no way to get up. My host family thought I was going to die or at the very least they would have to send me back. Then my body acclimatized and the rest of the 6 months went pretty good.
Also, itās igloo, you uncultured swine. I have never been more offended in my life. Except by the refrigerator brand called Alaska in Costa Rica that had polar bears and penguins.

So my city, they can deal with this. As mentioned way above, we used to get weather like this all the time and I guess the city never got rid of their equipment. Seven plows have already tried to āeliminateā me from this world. And cold alone? Iām fine. Iām an all-weather Alynsa, ready for sub-zero temps on a Monday and bathing suit weather by Friday. Thatās the norm here, and I have evolved to adapt to it.
But snow that manages to blow its way up under my jacket and shirt? That isnāt right or normal. Itās illegal too. Iām reporting this snow to the authorities. Iām nicknaming it Afrosalami for the things it has tried to do to me today.
Yes, that is what I said. An iglo. Nailed it!!
Was it because it made you think of home, where you have a pet polar bear and eat penguin wings like we civilized folk eat chicken wings?
Have you Alaskans even heard of chicken wings? Iām not that up to date on foreign cuisine.
squints I know Iām blind, but when did the emoji in the lounge title get removed?

Could be worse. Could be blowing slush. Thereās no dressing for that.

I was thinking the same thing. I figured I must have rolled over my phone in my sleep, and hit a setting somewhere that stopped displaying it, or something.
