Snowmageddon 2: Snow Harder
 

Just got home from an hour commute from work that usually takes 20 minutes. Almost went head-on into a plow, knocked over a street sign, had to use two snow drifts to stop from sliding down a hill, and had to pull over twice to clean my windshield wipers. Farthest I could see in front of the car couldn't have been more than three feet. How is everyone else faring the blizzard?

We haven't had snow over an inch since 1985, so pretty good I guess!

I am inside, with food, and enjoying it. I love snow.

I'm just north and west enough not to be getting anything. All I can say is, "Ha ha, sucker!"

We had a light dusting of snow Christmas day.

The bad stuff usually rampages through here later in January and February. But if the Jet Stream would drop back south, we'd actually get some of this wonderful weather you all up north are dealing with.

12-18 inches, 50mph gusts, state of emergency, you all suck.

Well, this storm is the same one that slammed San Diego, so I should point out that some places in the mountains had 20 feet of snow, and outside of the mountains, between 8 inches to two feet of rain...

Just a little perspective for ya'll.

Bring it on! But stop it by driving time tomorrow, 'cause I'm going skiing.

Seriously, it's not that bad if you've got everything you need.

We had something like that in Sweden, according to the news. I mean, it was all over the television, 400 people were trapped on a train on xmas eve and stuff. I know one guy who was delayed 6 hours on a 12 hour trip from the south. The bus drivers refused to drive and the train company urged people to stay at home. Especially on the 26th, because it's the single busiest travel day of the year. According to the news, the country couldn't have been more deeply petrified if the ice age hyperblizzard from Day After Tomorrow had struck, and they had pictures of snowstorms violent enough to make you believe it.

So of course I went on a 150 km bus trip on the 26th. It was indeed pretty busy, they had to get an extra bus to take all the passengers. But there was not a single minute of delay.

In conclusion, you got to laugh at those soft wee Southerners.
