Title: March comes in like a lion...
Post by: Glitch Girl on March 01, 2009, 03:13:16 PM
First, let me preface this by saying I live in the south.

So waking up to this...
(http://stkp.com/030109snow.jpg)
...is extremely unusual.

It's still snowing here, though it doesn't look like it's sticking to the roads at all.  I find it kinda cool since I rarely see the white stuff and can still appreciate it so right now I'm enjoying watching it fall... at least for the time being.

Anyway, just wanted to share. :)

Snowed in Auburn too! It was like 72 degrees after all our tornadoes yesterday.

Giving him a face was a mistake as Amy found him totally irresistible :(


Best day ever.

It rained all morning and afternoon here in the Upstate of SC. It was so miserably cold, wet, and windy it was comical. But from about 5:30 on it's been snowing...I'm pulling for classes being canceled tomorrow...please, please, please....

It was pretty decent up here in the Pacific Northwest. Started raining a bit around three. Nothing I'm not used to.

Now, walking around all day going from door to door in that...was another story.

It's been raining for about a week here near Shanghai.  I'm sick of it, but I sure hope it don't turn to no snowing.  I've seen enough of that stuff to last me a life time.

February went out like a lion for us in the Twin Cities - last Thursday into Friday we had a 6+" snowstorm, followed by a stretch of below zero lows.

Ah, Minneapolis . . .

Huh, no rain or snow in Ohio... weird. We're usually the ones with the crap weather.

The thing about where I live...

-at 11:30 am, it was still coming down heavy and I was starting to see some build up on my driveway.

-by 1:30 pm, it was almost all melted.

Ah well, t'was fun while it lasted.

Boston is burried, I just walked through 10 blocks of unplowed Jamaica Plain streets to get to the station.

Yeah, I heard it was headed your way lugaru.  Looks like it picked up some friends along the way.

Same storm is coming through here. My driveway had 5-6 inches of snow in it when I left this morning and it's supposed to keep going through the night.

Hell, I even had to wear BOOTS today. First time I've worn boots to work all winter.

Two bits of Irony today... first is that I'm wearing sneakers because I could not find my boots and I was running late. I'm hoping nobody notices since it's not exactly "Jeans and Sneakers" day at the bank. Second: I called my g.f. a bunch of times to tell her that there was no school today (she works there mondays, I take a translator class) and she never picks up so I figure she went back to bed. Nope, she just called me up at the station wondering where the school shuttle is...  :doh:

Well, we got hit by a foot or so. Fortunately my second shift schedule means I won't have to go out until it's all been plowed properly.

Eek.  It just started snowing again.  I didn't think it was going to do that.  No so good.

I feel the most sorry for Tennessee.  They got 18 inches, and they don't know how to handle 2 inches.

Whereas in England it's like we've hit high summer! At least it was on Friday :P

Yesterday was a beautiful day, hovering just above zero degrees celsius (which is nice in Edmonton at this time of year).

Today, I got stuck in a snow drift on my way to school - high winds, drifting snow and around -25 today.

I love Alberta!
