So who else is dealing with the snow today? I am at work slowly watching the roads get crappier and crappier. Hopefully we will get out early so it won't be too bad on the way home.

I will be spending the weekend indoors, looks like the Aline Quadrilogy came out at the perfect time since I will most likely be marathoning it this weekend. Anything to keep me away from having to dig my car out :D

No snow here.

Cold, cloudy and rainy though. I think tonight I will wrap Christmas presents and watch Christmas Vacation. Very dreary weather, no doubt.

3 day with snow on the ground. It snowed late tuesday evening and last night. Kind of messy but I am hoping it will melt soon. Since I live right next to campus I don't drive to and from school. Its pretty, but I can't wait to get back to Texas in a couple of weeks for Christmas where it is warm.

I had work today. I teach voice lessons at a music academy. After I dug out my car and almost drove into an enbankment, only 2 of my 12 Saturday students showed up. I was REALLY pissed. After those two students, I had the school cancel the rest of my lessons. When the school called, the parents said they were not planning on coming anyway. Now I'm really not gonna be able to afford Christmas. :(

Thank you. I guess I should be more optimistic about the situation. At least I didn't get in an accident and I got to go home early and lounge around the house for 2 days.

Horns honk, are ya listenin'?

Across three lanes, I'm a spinnin'

I caused a big fuss

When I sideswiped a bus

Driving in a winter wonderland.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world...
Got my office Chistmas party tonight, and everyone's worried about geting sunburnt on the ferry on the way to the restaurant!

I love the Southern hemisphere...

Yup, my sister reported that although it's chilly at night, it's t-shirt weather during the day in SoCal - warm and sunny.

And I thought in the 40s and sunny (here in Kansas City) was warm. Ha!
:wink:

We usually don't have much snow, but this year is really different. 20-30 cm snow are piling up at our front door...

Snow here too...
London has ground to a halt yet again, but it's beautiful. It took me twice as long to get into work, but somehow the snow just means the usual filth in the area is all covered up. Everyone is happy, and it's wonderful.

Yeah, I'm down in Canterbury (Southeast England), and it just snowed here for the first time since I've lived here. I've come to discover that snow is way more fun when you don't have to drive in it. I used to love it when I was a kid, but around the time I turned 17 I hated it, and now I love it again. Although not having a car sucks.

I've been told by the locals that they haven't seen it snow this much in years. We got like two inches, maybe. I could poop more snow than that.

Just in case anybody caught it, when I originally posted this I put Southwest England, instead of Southeast England. Man, am I an idiot. Good thing you can edit these posts.
