The White Death is falling
 
http://vh10018.v1.moc.gbahn.net/apps...xW=600&title=1

Here I sit bunkered down in my palatial estate just north of Cincinnati ready for the first sucker punch of the season :D

I'll attempt to post photos of this tragedy as it unfolds because as you know.... SNOW = WHITE DEATH. :lol:

I wish it would snow here.

fucking california

Karby 12-22-2004 09:53 AM

we get snow down here, but most of it just melts within a day or 4. well...except for that blizzard we had sometime back in the ninties. Maryland and Va get most of the snow...that pisses me off.

pig 12-22-2004 10:29 AM

kjroh, you've just made my day. I just moved down to S.C. from IL this fall, and I have been relishing the realization that I am quite likely not to see one bit of snow this entire winter. I love snow at the mountains, but keep it off my damn lawn. Damn, I'm going for a walk.

Lebell 12-22-2004 10:32 AM

I mowed my lawn on Monday.

<---misses snow...

lurkette 12-22-2004 10:35 AM

I am the Snow Queen. Every time I go to Minnesota in the wintertime, it snows for me. I was just there for thanksgiving, and we got 2" on thanksgiving day. I am now in Utah for Christmas, and the day I got here we landed to frost-covered trees, followed by 2" of snow. Ah, I could get drunk on the power....;)

Averett 12-22-2004 10:37 AM

Woah, the picture changed! It used to be a man shoveling his snow, now it's a lady in red (sing it with me fellas) and her umbrella!

THGL 12-22-2004 10:38 AM

A couple of inches already here in Louisville, should be 5-10" by this time tomorrow.

It's coming your way, kjroh!

Stompy 12-22-2004 10:39 AM

I fucking hate snow/winter. It's just not natural for a human to be living in such conditions..

Winter is pretty much 5 months of imprisonment. Gets dark by the time you leave for work and you can't even sit outside like you can in the summer. You're stuck indoors. It's just the worst..

Another reason why I hate it is because the very second it starts to snow a little bit, people forget how to drive. The speed limit is 40, people are doing 30 and there's not a single person in front of them. I wish death upon those folks.

blitz.fenix 12-22-2004 10:43 AM

Here in Toronto there aint even 5 CM of snow. I'm wishing for a white Christmas but I don't know if it's going to happen :p

:eek: I know!!! It actually started off as a shot inside a home depot picturing a sign saying 4 - 8" of snow. Then it went to the man shoveling. Crazy....:D

Man, put on some warm clothes, and waterproof clothes, and throw a snowball at your neighbors! Relish it. I probably do more outside things in the winter than in the summer, and it's nice to come inside and have some hot cocoa and let the feeling seep into your hands and feet again! Oh, I love it!

It's when the temp gets above 90 that unless there's a pool or ocean to hang out in I'd rather keep myself nice and cool inside.

It's snowing in Toronto today! I can't say how much will stick but I should be a realtively white Christmas as long as the temps stay cold.

snowy 12-22-2004 11:46 AM

I hate snow. It only happens here in the PacNW maybe once a winter every couple of years. I wish it would just stay in the mountains where it belongs. I'm not a skier or a snowboarder and have no great love for cold, wet stuff. Yuck. I have no love for cold, period. I should just move somewhere where it's always warm, but that's not likely.

Interestingly enough, I enjoy DRIVING in the snow ;) but as I no longer have a 4x4 I have no desire to test out my current car, even with its studded tires.

Mephisto2 12-22-2004 02:39 PM

Snow?

I remember that.

However, in this wierd topsy-turvy Down Under country called Australia, Christmas is at the height of summer and temperatures reach 40-42 degrees centigrade this month.

That's just not right.

CinnamonGirl 12-22-2004 03:59 PM

It's STILL snowing...and it's been snowing all day.

I don't mind though...it sucks to drive through it, but fun to play in :D

bigd999 12-22-2004 04:06 PM

Its snowing here in the Dallas area which normaly I wouldnt think anything of except that yesterday I had the A/C on MAX in my truck!

Blackthorn 12-22-2004 04:43 PM

Is that Michael Jackson up there?

No snow here in San Jose, except on the mountains.

AquaFox 12-22-2004 05:39 PM

White death = Cocaine

El Kaz 12-22-2004 08:18 PM

I love winter sports over all other kinds, so go snow!
Only minus about winter is the badly reduced light time.. too much darkness really drags me down sometimes :(

Grancey 12-22-2004 09:03 PM

If only it would snow.....just rain for us, and plenty of it. All of the images of the holidays of tromping through snow, throwing snowballs, watching the snow fall......just a fantasy for us. We've had plenty of 75 degree Christmases here. My winter in Iowa will have to last me for a long time........

Zephyr66 12-22-2004 09:17 PM

4 foot snowbanks here in Midland, ON, woulsnt have it any other way

/been snowboarding for 7 years

:lol:

Hahaha, if I hate snow/winter, why in the world would I bundle up and go play in it?!

Clothes or not, it's still cold as fuck outside and you're very limited to what you can do. I like walking around in the warm weather, having my windows/doors open on a summer night, sitting on my deck drinking with friend, etc.

We got fucked with 6 inches of snow last night, and I'm seriously about to just up and sell my house and move back to where I should be: CA. I never EVER forgave my parents for moving here when I was 11. Imagine being in CA all of your life only to move to some arctic tundra.. not being able to go outside anymore, being miserable... ugh. Hate it.

Charlatan 12-23-2004 10:06 AM

It isn't the snow it's the brown crappy slush that bugs me...

It just snowed all night and now it is freezing rain... The roads are a mess and the ice is getting thicker... This is when it sucks.

Shady 12-23-2004 01:08 PM

I hate winter and I especially hate snow. We got about 6 inches last night here in my college town. But my hometown got 14-18 inches and i was supposed to go home for Christmas tonight. They're under a level 3 snow warning which means nobody is to be driving unless absolutely necessary. So hopefully, by tomorrow, the roads are cleared enough so that i can get home for Christmas. Plus my dad works for the Department of Transportation and plows all this white shit off the major highways. He worked 17 hours yesterday, went back in at 7 this morning and will probably work til midnight again. Its supposed to let up by Christmas but the wind is going to pick up, which means he'll probably be out working again on Christmas day. White Christmas' suck ass.

Blackthorn 12-23-2004 07:35 PM

My back yard -- lawn chairs under the dreaded white death!
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_13...QB5yBB8yvWvtf7

The view out a front window with snow up to the bottom of the window sill.
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_13...QB5yBBLQ9M.xbx


After using a snow plow on a John Deere for over an hour this is what's clear :(
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_13...QB5yBB7x7IbofR

The neighbors have a lighted deer ... I want to put up a lighted deer hunter aiming at him :D
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_13...QB5yBB2Bpplkqg

The view out the garage door for perspective...way too damn much snow for my liking. And now it's gone down to -3f. :mad:

Averett 12-23-2004 07:36 PM

That's nasty... I have friends going to Kentucky for Christmas. Or at least that was their plan....

World's King 12-23-2004 07:39 PM

I got snow. I got 8 degree weather.

Blackthorn 12-23-2004 08:20 PM

Ri-GOTT-damn-diculous! :D They just said on the news that 9" is the official snow fall total for this storm. I measured 22 inches out in my driveway earlier tonight.

MSD 12-23-2004 09:36 PM

I got 2 inches of rain today. If it was 40 degrees colder, that would have been a solid 2 feet of snow.

omega2K4 12-23-2004 10:33 PM

We got ice, no snow (maybe an inch or less) in Nashville. Luckily my new car handled the ice like a dream. I have to wash it now, I don't want the salt/brine mixture to fuck up the paint. Damnit, its cold too. Might just take it to one of those drive-thru type car washes.

Blackthorn 12-24-2004 06:40 PM

I hate to keep whining about the weather but it's effff f f f f f -ing cold!!!! :mad:

I'm not a fan of the cold stuff (-10F or colder), but I love snow.

wraithhibn 12-24-2004 07:16 PM

I love the picture of Fountain Square.

No snow here in Maysville. Well, theres a dusting on top of the 1/2" of ice we got. We are a little east of the worst of the ice, but no snow like the 'Nati. I'm glad I got out of Louisville earlier in the week, theres a foot of snow there and a lot of people can't get out. Its worse than Cincy. Damn storm.

merkerguitars 12-24-2004 07:38 PM

Had some snow around here. So far only 2 really horrible days to drive. This past week has been in the negatives which hasn't too bad besides my roomates car breaking down.....
