It's a Jeckyl and Hyde thing - beautiful when it falls, and then it turns to grey, filthy sludge.
quote:Thin, slippery sh*t here now.
Language! The word is 'slim'; "Slim, slippery sh*t".
And the "Slippery sh*t" is when the snow starts to melt and turns to ice. As long as you have deep snow - you have traction. People still walk too fast, though. ****s.
Took me three and a half hours to get in to work yesterday. Oh how I love the rail network when there's a little bit of snow and ice.
quote:Ekk you guys i'm sorry you guys are dealing with it.....I hate snow....I have great memories from being a kid in the snow...but I hate having to drive in it. Cold temps are ok....not great...but snow? bah humbug!
*Pelts Muffy with a snowball*
Zoink! Take that, Muffster!
I saw a whole stack of pre-prepared snowballs as I was leaving the train station today. Had to smile! Someone had worked hard getting ready to pelt people.

My power has been on and off (mostly off!) since last night at 11:00 pm. I am on my computer now in the basement, but I have a flashlight by my side just in case the power goes out again. I just hate not being able to cook something on the stove (we have electric, not gas, which sucks when the power goes out!).

My neighbour's outside water pipe burst today leaking gallons of water for the better part of the morning. Went to Boots to get my new glasses fitted and they had closed at midday - lazy a$$ed ba$tards. That was my last chance before Christmas. Yes, there's been some snow, but it hasn't frozen and it's still easy to get around. Today has been an anti-snow day for me.

It's still snow where I am - no rain. What part of the UK are you in?

I had to do it you understand... I had to. It was just sitting there. I know it made you feel dirty. It made me feel dirty too. I don't think that this dirt will ever wash off. Consider the bottom of the barrel scraped.

I actually feel better knowing it isn't just Un-Great Britain and the rest of the Sh!ttish Isles that shut down when one flake of snow hits the ground. Thanks Jay Lee.

Snow was predicted here last week, I think there actually was some in the ranges. This might not sound unusual, but this is an Australian summer and we are normally around 40 celcius right now!
