How'd they do that from California?


Sorry, saw the headline today and had a momentary "what?" reaction about the devs. Too much gaming!

How is everybody doing out there?


Are you stuck inside getting more play time?

below freezing in the morning in sunny California reminds me why I'm not in Boston anymore.

Well you know, Ghost Crawler felt that snow blowers and shovels needed buffs, while simultaneously nerfing Al Gore's global warming effect because it was overpowered.

Seriously though, snow sucked. Had to shovel at 1:30am last night just so my brother could pull into the driveway, then in the morning had to clean out the driveway again, and two sections of sidewalks since I live in a corner house (hint, don't buy a corner house if you can avoid it, so you only have one sidewalk to worry about lol).

Driving home at night wasn't fun either, since it was also really windy, so at times I couldn't see more than 5 feet in front. Luckily the streets were pretty empty, so it wasn't too bad overall.

Then I had to go in to work, and I had to shovel yet even more (be kind of silly for a Home Depot not to be open in weather like this lol, and unsurprisingly, we sold out all of our snowblowers, most of our salt and shovels). I couldn't make full use of a snowblower either because I was cleaning out a really cramped area, so had to shovel about 80% of it by hand first.

WTB a flamethrower pst...

In the past two days, the high was like -10F ignoring any wind chill factor. But it's only for a couple of days then it's back to teens, 20s, and 30s, so no real big deal.

No fricken kidding! I used to love snow, but I cant afford a snowmobile anymore. I want more global warming!

I got passed by a snowmobile here in Dallas on the way into work Tuesday morning. WTF. It's DALLAS.

Our problem here isn't snow, it's black ice and idiots that don't understand basic physics.

Don't worry I am still here in Boston for you. Up to my eyeballs, literally in snow. Yesterday was awesome, on top of the like 6+ feet of snow we have, it started raining. So I am out there trying to shovel water off my sidewalk down the tunnel that is the sidewalk from my front door to my drive way before it froze into a skating rink. The sidewalk has 4 foot+ piles of frozen snow on either side and nowhere for the water to drain to.

It took us 30 minutes for my wife to drive me the 1 mile from my house to the T station for me to catch the train into the city thanks to a City bus that managed to get stuck kitty-corner across the side street near my house.

Oh gawd, I feel for you. I vividly remember those 6 foot tunnels from front door to garage, getting the downhill driveway shoveled, including the 10 foot pile of debris the snowplows always left at both corners of the driveway (corner house).

And you can't stay home because that's normal!



Nobody used the weather as an excuse for more playtime?

I grew up in Florida and actually saw snow twice. Both times it melted about 3 feet before hitting the ground. Now I live in Washington state and absolutely love it...though we have zero snow atm, it all melted cry

Funniest thing that I heard from some friends this week ... "I wouldn't drive through 6 inches of snow to get to work, but I'd drive through a blizzard for an epic powder day on the mountain."

I live in a place where it snows almost every day. We received 72" of snow in January. I am very glad this storm stayed south and missed us all together.

I'll take it! They keep telling us its going to snow but its too warm. We missed out on the snow storm the rest of you got hit by. We had a lot of snow 2 years ago but, we keep getting these mild winters where it warms up to high 30's/low 40's and then drops down into the teens and single digits. It plays hell with the pain in my legs...
