alright it depends were exactly you live on the country. we used to live on a hill and in winter you had a really hard time to get anywhere.
oh man, thinking about it. living in the city sucks.
i want to move back to the country to live there in peace, dammit.

Heh, sounds bad. I'm 75% Austrian, and we decided to visit Graz about two years ago for a family reunion, and it was a winter nightmare compared to what I am used to.

Just walked home in this shit, and I gotta say it's extremely cold. There's not even any wind chill, it's just ridiculously cold. It's supposedly 8 degrees right now, but I would suspect it to be much colder. I only live about 3 minutes from where I work and it almost took me out.

I went to the store before it snowed so I wouldn't have to go out again lol. That will work until I either run out of stuff to drink or classes start next Tuesday. The wind damn near slammed the front door in my face Sunday when I had to hit a vending machine to get a soda and I decided I should stock up before it got bad on Tuesday. Now I can sit here comfortably with my 3 bags of chips, a pork roast, case of Mountain Dew, and 5 bottles of juice. Cool

Snowy here too. I saw a semi with a giant hole ripped in the trailer on the way to work today. Off-topic, why is Stephen King fingering that fish?

As AndrewMan said, DC had almost an inch and most of it's melted now. When I woke up in the morning after it snowed, I actually called work to see if they were closed. I'm from Western NY, so there's no such thing as being closed because snow(unless you're a school), around here though it's a different story. With a couple inches you have a 50/50 shot of getting out of work.

Chilliwack is just doing it's thang, where it snows, then rains the next day, and drops below freezing at night, so the next day the sidewalks and roads are ice.

This weather is bullshit. It's been terrible here.

I actually have a plan for when the weather gets unbearable. For some reason, right under my room is a really, really warm spot (must be some kind of hot pipe). What I do is I sleep on the floor and completely cover myself in blankets, which soak up all of the warmth. It's nice and cozy.
