Snow Day 2006

[Back]

Well the District just got 7+ inches of snow dumped on it in under 24 hours. There is an official snow emergency. No parking on snow emergency routes or you get towed. Cabs can double their fares. All of this on a Sunday.

I'm glad I live in the city. Even though my little Suzuki Aerio has 4WD I can hoof it a mere block to a coffee shop, gas station (mini mart), and Kentucky Fried Taco Bell. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays. :(

[Snapp]

I hate snow.

[Emo Emu]

I'm a little disappointed in the snow fall right about now, but apparantly it'll get stronger later on in the day. Driving was hell during the night though.

Looks like there are 12 inches + in Falls Church.

Looks like there are 12 inches + in Falls Church.

Yeah, I made a conservative estimate based on what is on my balcony and the trees just outside.

The news says its the biggest snowfall in three years.

[Soulpieced]

My estimate may also be fairly conservative, it may in fact be a bit more.

[Emo Emu]

10-14 in Southern, MA apparantly. Feh! We've had bigger, bring it on!

[Snapp]

I really hate snow.

[Emo Emu]

It looks nice for the first few days.. Then come the awesome black piles of ice on the sides of the road!

[CrystalTears]

Holy crap, the SNOW! It didn't start snowing until midnight or so last night and we kinda just "pft" it when we went to bed. Boy are we sorry now. It hasn't stopped and it's officially a blizzard. And we're out of Coke. This is horrible. :(

[DeV]

I'm with Snapp. I feel for ya, just keep it over on the east coast, plz.

Niiiice, that'll cripple NoVA for a good while. ;)

[Czeska]

Snowing somewhere besides the Great Lakes snow belt FTW!

[Laccon]

15-20inches here in worcester, MA. and it's still snowing good.......... and we already got the 15inches

[Wezas]

Got right about 10" of snow here. However they just plowed my road so I am still not happy. Would be better if I had a good excuse to work from home tomorrow.

[Latrinsorm]

We've got like 2 inches tops in the Troylet. WTF?

[Ebondale]

Am I disqualified cuz I'm in Alaska? :P

[Emo Emu]

i'm just gonna eat food all day and watch movies :-P

[Sean]

I fucking hate snow I just had to shovel about 15" out.

[Ilvane]

I'm so glad they plowed to put ANOTHER &^%$!# 5 feet of snow at the bottom of my driveway..:smirk:

It gets ridiculous when the snow is taller than you at the end of the driveway.

I feel you, man. Story of my life.

[Skirmisher]

24 friggin inches of snow baybee.

I like snow...but i thik i hoped too hard for this particular snowfall.

Three hours and two sheering pins later i'm done with the cleaning...

Wet feet. but at least with a full belly and sitting back down again.

Yay.

[Artha]

We got like 2 - 5 inches around Richmond. It's all gone now.

Fuck the weather.

[Ebondale]

Hey, I saw on MSNBC that there are areas in NoVA and MD that are without power. Anyone know what areas?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I love the snow, I wish it'd dump 24 inches here in Kansas!

[Wezas]

The areas without power are mostly in Maryland. And there's only maybe 3000 houses total without power right now.

Maryland seemed to get hit harder. Columbia, MD got hit with 21"

[Skeeter]

And we're out of Coke. This is horrible. :(


Screw the housework, you'll be way too tired without a bump.

[TheEschaton]

You folks are pansies. We got 3 feet on Christmas Eve a few years ago, and we just cleared our driveways and midnight mass was still packed.

Buffalo hardcore Catholic snow-fiends, FTW.

Of course, it's about 37 Celsius here with an 80% chance of rain, so the humidity is through the roof. That makes the baby Jesus cry.

"Hey, did you know on page 535, it says Jebus?"
"It's supposed to say Jesus, right?"
