Weather WTF

[merithyn]

I'll ask my homeboy in our Chicago office if they're getting hammered up there.

They are.

[Razgovory]

Blizzard warnings less than 30 minutes north of us, but we're expected to get less than an inch. WTF??

I WANT A FUCKING WINTER!!  

Why would you want such a terrible thing?

[mongers]

Typical early British winter, mild but wet.

Feels like 80's winters here again. Mother nature boned me with no snow that decade meaning I had to go to school. What a bitch.

Last week, the cold in Siberia nearly killed two circus elephants after their trailer caught fire, the RIA news agency reported.
A handler quickly devised a plan, buying two cases of vodka from a nearby village and serving it to the elephants -- albeit diluted with warm water.
"After that they roared as if they were in the jungle. Apparently they were happy," the unnamed handler was quoted as saying.

Russians.

DG is planning on going to the nearest zoo with a case of Vodka and a bag of frozen blueberries.

No shit.  Back when Jay Rockefeller was governor in WV we had what we called "Jay's Blizzard".  We were supposedly going to get a buttload of snow so he pre-emptively cancelled school for the entire state & declared a state of emergency.  We got not one single snowflake.

Was nice to get a free day off, but we all felt very gypped that we had no snow to play in & had to go to school the next day.  We were already making plans for what to do on the 2nd & 3rd snow days, damnit.

Panzies.

I'm sure I bored you with this anecdote before, but I'll do it again.

Yukon schools never close for snow.  Ever. 

Here in Alberta they might close bus routes, but I'm pretty sure they never close the schools either.

[Ed Anger]

good for you.

[Barrister]

good for you.

Indeed.   

[derspiess]

That actually sucks.

[Admiral Yi]

Today it is snowing but strangely the temperature is above freezing.

The relevant temperature is the one up in the clouds where the snow forms.

Beeb is the sort that he'd tell the teacher she forgot to give a quiz that day. So no wonder he doesn't like snow days. He is a stiff.
