We have rain. And it's been dipping into the low 60's overnight. I had to put a blanket on the bed a few nights ago. Hahaha
[Contest] The Worst Weather

- Start date
My dad and I spent an hour or so out in the downpour/wind fixing our fence and the neighbor's (he's not home often). Hoping I don't wake up with a cold tomorrow.
You guys think you have it bad? Look at this bullshit!
I live in South-Central Wisconsin - got about an inch of snow last night and they're calling for 3-5 tonight.
This is why you're a judge.
But...I'm suffering, too. I haven't been to the beach in a month!This is why you're a judge.
It's rough everywhere. I mean I had to wear a wind breaker this morning when I rode to work and you don't see me complaining.
mwah hah hah hah hah
My work closed as of last night, before anything started. My wife and I quit Monster Hunter past midnight, looked outside--nothing. "Maybe they'll open again," I said.
Wake up at 5:30, we're fucking covered and it's pouring down. Spring needs to come; I'm tired of losing money on my paychecks.

Now, bearing in mind that I haven't been personally affected by any of the wacky weather that Washington's been having this year, I do feel that I should throw my hat into the ring for those poor, poor sods running ski resorts up in the Cascade range. First they couldn't open until January because they didn't have enough snow, now they have a butt-ton of snow, and they can't open because they have a butt-ton of snow that keeps coming all at once and no one can get there to either operate the runs or ski them, all because the DOT and WSP are concerned about avalanches. Pshaw.
It went from 80 degrees to ice on the roads in 48 hours.
So this morning I spent some time shoveling the 1.5" of "flurries" and now 3-5 again tonight (after the 4 or so we got over the weekend). Can it stop snowing please? I'm really tired of shoveling.
I imagine it raining, with the raindrops picking up all that crap from the air on the way down, and it all falling as a spray of thin mud from the sky.

Yeah, those pictures of folks walking through big yellow-greenish mists with gas masks on do look like you'd welcome a refreshing white-out
Me, I went out in just a shirt today. Bit nippy, perhaps I'll wear my summer jacket tomorrow.
Oh, and you know how a soft winter usually means lots of insects? Apparently, this winter is so soft we won't have that problem: the fungi and parasites that habitually infest insect eggs and pops in late autumn usually freeze to death during even a warm winter; this time we haven't had a single freezing day, and experts say this is causing way too many of those fungi to survive - we'll have even less insects than usual. Which is good.
Distant third? I literally breathe cancer. I breathe in particles that our bodies were never designed to protect ourselves from. I shroud myself in the smog that prevents laser fire.
I am the darkness in the night. I AM...uh....what was I saying?
I think "My parents are dead!!!" was next, but I could be wrong.
Oooo, I think I saw some movies with that guy once. Got into a fracas with his teacher, and then ended up changing jobs and had to deal with his son.
Here at work (Madi-town) - they said "flurries" - the parking lot/roads were covered with a layer of snow.
Tell me about his warm sunny weather. It's been so long that I've forgotten what it looks like.
It was glorious. We had shitty weather friday and then out of nowhere, two beautiful days in a row. People were sitting outside at restaurants, studying in the quad, playing sports outdoors. It felt like life was finally less oppressive. And then shitty cold today.
I'm not really complaining too much though, its going into the 60s soon for 3 days in a row and back home theres a disaster of a snowstorm.
Guess who's probably not going to work tomorrow?
Fucking hell.
Fucking hell.
Me!
(Okay, we got a little it the morning, but still!)
