The Snowpocalypse

Managed to get home at ~11pm to grab stuff for my next shift... only to find my driveway plowed shut by the street dept. Had to stop in the middle of the street while I dashed inside.
 
Colorado should be set to "massive avalanche" for snow days for this year. :p Stupid floods ruining my hibernation days.
 
It is about 5-6°F right now here in Frozen Tundra, Wisconsin. That wouldn't be bad - if it wasn't for the 10 mph+ breezes we're getting.

...WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO NOON CST FRIDAY...
* WIND CHILL VALUES OF 25 TO 35 BELOW ZERO ARE LIKELY LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
* WIND CHILLS THIS COLD CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE IN 10 TO 15 MINUTES IF APPROPRIATE CLOTHING IS NOT WORN.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND WINDS WILL GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROSTBITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF GOING OUTDOORS... MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES.

It's been hovering around zero in CO the last two days, but has been clear skies and brilliantly sunny. Middle School kids are still walking around in shorts and leaving me baffled.

I'm numb to it all now. I'm just happy I don't use natural gas for heat right now.
 
Just north of Seattle, it's been around 28 for the past week. It was starting to feel a little warmer a week or two ago, 40's ish, but then it got pretty freakin' cold again. And the worst part is, no snow. Well, we had about 15 minutes of very light snow a couple days ago, and the same thing happened again today. Very, very light snow, and not nearly enough to stick anywhere. I also just put away the fleece blanket we had between the sheet and comforter but had to bring it out again. I need more meat on my bones.
 
Our weather forecasters are already calling it "the year without winter". We've had 3 nights with light frost this winter so far, and no days where temperatures staid below 0°C. Man, it's warm for the time of year. :whistling:
 
Well, looks I'm stuck in due to the ice and snow. My approach for spending this chilly evening: a cup of hot cocoa and watching Castle in the Sky.
 
This winter has been one of the mildest we've had in years. Too mild in fact. Keeps going above zero and melting the snow into ice.
 
Reinjured my left elbow from digging my car out for work... AGAIN. Hard to properly rest it when I don't have any consistency to my schedule and keep getting hit with 7,8,9 days straight before the next day off. And chances are that may be a single day off at that.

Imma gonna punch Jack Frost right in the fargin mouth.
 
The guy driving the plow through our apartment complex parking lot just went up and down a single path, passing the snow back and forth between two sides of the lot. Getting out tomorrow is gonna be fun.
 
I think at this point it's safe to say if there is snow in the Northeast US, yes, we got dumped on. Otherwise I'll be posting every-other day.
 
Got about 20 cm today (8 inches for those of you who use the bad measuring system).... the first snowfall to fall since the new year. We got a few snow dusting so far but nothing this significant since the X-Mas break. Drove from home to Montreal to have breakfast with a friend, took a whole 5 minutes longer than usual. I couldn't help but laugh at some of these pictures on the way there.

Needless to state, here's to hoping a shorter winter... 6 more weeks or so of this shit.
 
We're expected to hit high 50s, low 60s tomorrow, for those of you who think Fahrenheit is sensible.

We've had 2 nights of mild frost so far, and we're heading for the mildest winter since 1830. Boy-oh, it's cold. :troll:
 
Well winter is over, we had 3 snow events her this year. It is likely a record. It usually snows once every 5 years. Now it is 75degrees outside, meaning when I get home I'll have to run the A/C. :confused:
