It's currently 3:40 in the morning and I should be sleeping. Thanks to my recent lack of jobage and my over the top stress levels my sleep schedule is completely screwed to say the least.

Normally I would take my dog for a walk or just go for a little adventure on my own but seeing as there is 9 inches of snow on the ground I think that would be an awful idea.

Yet another reason for me to loathe snow.

boo, hisss

If my dog didn't look so damn cute frolicking in it than I'd have to send it my damnation's... I may do that anyway. I hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE being cold. The forecast in my area is calling for snow 3 days in a row next week. I may die.

I live in MN --- I am totally over snow! We are setting records -- I want it gone!

Naari · January 12, 2011, 03:59:31 PM

No trucks have come up the hills around where I stay and I have been iced and snowed in for 3 days now. If it doesn't get any warmer than they say it is looking like friday or saturday before it goes away. I don't think we have had this much snow here since 1993. I would be foaming but I am attempting to deal. Everytime I am stuck inside I start thinking of all the places I could be going. If I weren't stuck in I would probably be at home but still! I am sooooo over the winter. I like winter for about a week. That is plenty enough for me. Come on spring!

Psssh... ICELAND!

This is what my home town looked like yesterday; http://www.akureyri.is/frettir/nr/16041

Nevermind the text, it's in Icelandic, scroll past it.

Same here. I am tired of it already and they are calling for 3 days of it next week.

This pretty much sums up how I feel.

I love snow. Although, having to shovel half a foot of drifted snow every few days does make my arms sore. It also sucks that now everyone is driving so the university parking spots are completely full.

However, snow makes everything look really nice.

The biggest problem with snow is when people/cities don't clear it from sidewalks/roads.

We have a "general" snow-avalanche-warning for Northern Iceland, and the forecast for the next week is for more snow, every day, 'cept saturday.

Ditto here too. Being a northern transplant I'm still irritated that something like this (not the worst storm I've ever been through) absolutely paralyzes the city and shuts everything down.

I guess I'm the odd one out. I love when it gets like this.

I'd rather wear intense shades than 47 layers to keep warm.

Haha

Observe the massive snow, it fornicates.

It's been a huge year so far for rain and snow here, reservoirs are up to capacity, the ski resorts might be open into June, and when we want to go to the snow, we drive (or train) up to Tahoe, then when we're done, we drive back out of it.

Miniar · January 12, 2011, 05:59:02 PM

Need my prescription glasses or I'm practically blind, and headed for a migraine too,.. bloody shades don't help..

I generally just.. stay indoors.
If I go out, I wear my hat.

Same.

Can't stand the sun. Summer here gets excessively humid as well and it's generally not fun.
