damn....13 inches of snow and rising....grr

overnight snowstorm ....13 and counting....im so snowed in it sux....:/

Doc B... :dodgy:

wetre supposed to get some 2mo, Not thats that a suprise or anything...

Yeah, it's pretty bad in Lincoln, too. Maggie and I were actually supposed to go to Omaha yesterday. Yeah, that didn't happen. :razz: Still falling now and we're still in a storm warning until 9 pm. No idea what our total is.

At least classes are cancelled and my fiancee is over. It'll be a fun day to just lounge around. Just hope I don't run out of food :razz: hehe.

me thinks this could turn into a picture thread...

Wow... 13 inches down in Nebraska? Yikes. We've just got about 3-4 up here, but it's still coming down somewhat hard.

yeah, im not worried about running out of food (the inlaws arent here :heee: ) .....but the kids are home from school, and i may be running out of patience, and toilet paper......

Doc Brass... :heee:

Over here in Belgium, the sun is shining.

I want some snow.

Please wrap some up in a piece of paper, scribble "Forceflow's Residence, Belgium" on the envelope, buy something like a million stamps, attach them all to the envelope and get your *ss to the post office, snow or not.

it snowed near here in what 1970 sumthing? it was 30 deg C plus here today and im loving every minute of it gloats 13 inches of snow dam were lucky if we get 10mm of rain over here... Might go for a swim tomorrow

Boy, that half inch of snow outside made me want to skip class and go back to sleep... :biggrin:

Hey DocB, just be glad it isn't a repeat of the Blizzard of '75 up there...

lol remember that? Cars stranded on Blondo with snow up to the windshield?

I was but a young pup back then, livin in Omaha, but I still remember it. :smile:

There are three types of weather where in Bexhill (The town I live in)

Cold

Hot

Raining

It's pretty much the same where I live matt.

Except for the hot bit.

i love the weather girl up here...."well, looks like we are gonna get some snow yet....predicting 4 to 9 inches total..." that was an hour ago, and i swear, im up to 15.... took me an hour and a half to plow the drive w/ a snowblower...and that was just round 1......its like watching comedy central....

and no docrock, i wasnt here for that one...but ive seen pictures....it was ugly.

Doc B... :dodgy:

Brasso: at least it's SNOW. When it actually snowed here for once (in Oregon) The next day it turned to ice . . . mmm yay. Not only can you not go out site and walk in it you can't go anywhere. Everything was closed fro about a week, gave me one more week of winter break :biggrin: . And places like Les Swab started charging up the ass for chains, so no one bought them.

There's still like mounds of ice in places where people stacked it up to get it out of the way. damn it sucked. See if Tracer knows what I'm talking about.

Crono: We got iced over before this snow fell. :smile:

Maybe it's a temporary ragnarok, heh Andrew

Do you get the hilarious news coverage where they go to a supermarket and interview everyone purchasing excessive quantities of milk?

Hey Doc B, I'll shovel for ya. I don't know why but I love to shovel snow. Buy me a plane ticket and I'm there. (I got nothin else better to do.)

Yeah, but we never get snow. This winter is the first time it's snowed here (in the vally areas where everyone lives) in a few years and the bastard weather decides to freeze over. It was funny watching people brurn their tires out trying to move . . . what they don't understand is, do not hold the gas pedal down. lol (Another thing Les Swab started charging horendous amounts for).

Right now we have a little over half a foot of snow. Ive shovled my whole driveway. (my driveway is about 75 feet long.)

How is it that you have snow in phoenix?

That was pretty funny wasn't it Crono? there were so many morons on the road!

I'm also a wierdo who likes to shovel snow, but it's not just the rareity of it. I grew up north of Boston, and I enjoyed it even then.

W00t no snow this year for me as I have come back to england.

I like snow just not a foot of it for 6 months and I was near detroit last year damb those long canadian winters.

Detroit is in Michigan, not Canada, foo

I know I was living in london which is 2 hours north of detroit and 2 hours south of toronto so I was in canada.

I also guessed that I was in canada cos they said [i]eh![/i] alot

I pity da foo who thinks Detroit is in Canada. lol

Tracer: Yeah it was funny as hell. It's like "hmm, I'm not moving . .. I know I'll HOLD the pedal down, maybe that will work . . . hmm doesn't seem to be working, there's a lot of smoke, I'll try it a little longer see if it does anything later . . . hmm . . . down to the rims . . . maybe the hot metal will melt the ice . . ." seriously A lot of people in Oregon do NOT know how to drive, such as going to Portland on 26 while they're doing construction. . . . .why are people going 35? I mean there is a 2 foot barrier between the road and the construction . . . they couldn't break though even if they wanted. lol

But the thing that pissed me off the most durring the whole "Winter Storm 2004" bull, was Vira Cats . . . I just think she's a bitch. (She's the mayor of Portland for those who have no idea what I'm talking about). There's no particular reason why I think she's a bitch . . . she just is. that bitch.

I pay no attention whatsoever to local politics. shrugs

What I thought was most entertaining is portlands complete inability to deal with the weather. I can understand not clearing all the roads, but they didn't even clear I-5 or 84!

i dunno TB...portland was such a comfy, laid back town, that i doubt theyd deal well ith just about anything.... :heee: went up the river in a submarine at a festival of some sorts...show boating before decommisioning... great town...had a hugely fun time.....

Doc B..... :dodgy:

Tracer: I know . . . I swear we have morons running certain parts of our state.

Brasso: Yeah, Oregon in general is pretty liberal . . . unless you talk to the hicks who live in Tillimook. . . .

However, most people who walk down the street are social assholes, at least you don't hear men yelling at women and grabbing them while they walk down the street, I mean women run half of Oregon, so lol.

Also, wanna know why they didn't start widening 26 until late '03? The last transmission director we had wanted the "max" (A light rail train that runs from several parts of oregon to other parts) to gain more money, so he wanted to make traffic WORSE so it would force people to ride the train. Now heres the thing. . .the max costs about the same as parking downtown, and it's slower then driving (even in traffic) . . . so why the hell would I take it?? His other reasoning was for people who shop! yeah because you always want to goto a furniture store (such as Ethan Alan, not that I shop there) and lug it back on a packed train with smelly construction workers and little dumb ass skaters who never take a shower to "rebel".

You know what you should think when you drive past a newly built skate park? "Look at all those individuals . . . . oh wait" the damn things are packed . . . wtf are they rebelling against? rebelling? I'm confused.

[/rant] I appologize for the ranting, hopfully it was entertaining.

Not very much this year, but this morning....oh lala

Why do the snowflakes look so fake? . . . seems odd.

I do agree it looks strange, but i haven't edited it more than just resizing it

That's all?






This wasn't even nearly as bad as some places :razz: :smile:

Yeye, I get the point

Snowflakes in photographs look strange because they reflect the flash.

tis cold, but thats about it. No snow. Can only remember there being snow once here when I was little.

:rolleyes:

It hasn't properly snowed for years here in the UK. Sure we've had a bit here and there but it's usually gone by the next day.

I remember maybe about 10 years ago that when it snowed it snowed - not as bad as what you've got at the mo Andrew, but enough to stop you getting to work. Once, we had no power and no water cos of the snow, and we all had to go to the local swimming pool to get water from it - which we then had to boil (if we had gas cookers, heh).

Wouldn't mind a bit of snow right now though, work is a bit crap and I need an excuse to stay in bed and wallow in self-pity :wink:

i have little interest in reading 3 pages about snowfall, especially since i just spent 3 days driving across it to Michigan and back

it was a mess out there people, and if you don't have to travel, please stay home, snows and/or ice in the levels i saw kill people.

stay home, drink something warm, or something that simulates warmth and enjoy the view, preferably from behind a double pane of glass :smile:

Christ, that blue house. Is that just 1 families house? or is it for 2/3 families?

Its a block of flats, id say 6-8 families :smile:

Those pics of (I assume) of your university KungFuSquirrel remind me of that cs level where you have to bomb the crashed plane. Can't think of its name though.

thats quite small for these parts, and rather tiny for up north standards..

i take it, housing is rather cramped where you live?

my current home is an old wood framed style about 2000 sq. ft i suppose. and its considered modest.

personally i don't notice how big it is till i have to heat it, during the winter months, it seems gigantic.

dont quote me on it, But england is the most expensive place to get houses afaik.

Think of it this way, We asked for just over 120,000 pounds for our bungalow.

i am sure its comparable all over given certain criteria.

here in Arkansas, you can buy 1 acre for $1000.00 or less depending on location, or as much as $100,000.00 (possibly more in commercial zones)

i have heard in new york city, or L.A. property is so scarce, you buy it by the square foot, and by the millions.

houses around here in jonesboro go for $180,000 new and $45,000 used on average i reckon.

(note: i leave it up to you to do the conversion from dollars to pounds)

I love the snow.. .and the cold. T'is -40 C right now with the wind :biggrin:

I heard about that, some new record perhaps?

The mere thought of anything below -5 C makes me shiver in fear

no, neg 40 is nothing special really. For me anyways. Something special is like -50 with strong winds and 2 feet of snow.

Well then it was over here, because I strongly recall -40 C being a record somewhere...Yup, it was over here :smile:

Hey, -40 IS special. It's the point where the Fahrenheit and Centigrade measurements meet. :smile: -40 F is -40 C as well :biggrin:
