Now for some of you, snow isn't that big of a deal. However, this is Houston. Snow is about as big a deal as it gets here. We got no more than an inch of snow, and everyone was freaking out about it. It was on the news and ****. A snow miracle of something.
That is all.
-
Please don't tell me you got the snowplows out for this.
-
North sweden ftw. Snow everywhere, comboes brilliantly with my Volvo for drifting <3
-
An inch of snow in Canada would also be a miracle. Just in the opposite way :(.
-
Please don't tell me you got the snowplows out for this.
What the hell's a snowplow?
-
I'm surprised it hasn't snowed out here yet.
Last year we had a ****ing blizzard and Eastern Washington was in omega danger mode.

My cousins in North Carolina once got a snow day with just two inches of snow. Since Houston is farther south...
-
For the record, I know what a snowplow is. I'm not saying that you missed the joke, but I just want to make sure that everyone got things under control.
-
cool story bro
-
Please don't tell me you got the snowplows out for this.
Yeah, they don't have snowplows in texas, largely because they don't get as much snow as you do up in the north.
In fact, my damn school district stayed open once when every other school district was closed due to the snow. What the ****.
-
cool story bro
Sure was. Wanna hear the sequel?
-
I heard it was worst than the first. But hey, that didn't stop Harry potter.

Hey, I lived through a flash freeze not too long ago. It was on the news too, we lost power and everything was encased in ice. Added to that, many trees fell apart making getting out impossible. We couldn't make a call because our phone is a wireless and we couldn't drive out because the roads were blocked. We also couldn't warm the house or water, and we ran out of water because the pumps shut down. Had to move in with my sister because the house slowly froze. She had alternate forms of heating. It was two whole weeks until we finally got power back. In that time we had to live off rations and potted foods until we got some gas, then we cooked. We also used a grill before that. Haha, funny thing that, grilling in the winter. Several property damages as well as several power poles having to be replaced. Even after it had been declared an emergency it took them a while to give out supplies or the police to even check on us. Some old guy had to be taken to the hospital not far from where we live because he was weak and delusional from the whole event. Deathreaper feared the worse had happened to me and had been trying to reach me, I got in contact with him at a college computer when they were finally able to get up and going themselves. Makes you really see how much you depend on modern luxuries it does.
And with all that said: I wish it had snowed. :(
-
it snowed 30cm here today
-
It did not snow here.
-
It's snowing right now over here.
-
There was a bit of snow... but its pretty hard to tell.
-
One flake in Clearwater Florida and I'm moving to Cuba!
-
The snow has alreadly melted here : )
-
Our snow lasted one day.
hope this isn't going to be another no-major-snowfall-until-January winter.
-
I really don't want it to snow.
Last time it snowed for way too long.
-
Heard about this. I'm totally jealous, I live in the Dallas area, and we get snow like maybe once every other year.
Too bad it's not a school day though. Just your luck, huh?
-
Snow days are terrible. Because then I won't graduate until those days are made up. gah. Not to mention, then my AP European History class is going to have to move faster so we learn everything come time for the AP test.

Indeed I do.
-
You would.
-
Yup, saw that one coming. =D Next time I should bet money...
-
I don't wanna see that coming.
-
It finally snowed up here, but not really much... It stuck, but kind of a disappointment really...
It was at least nice to watch it fall. I love the snow.
-
I don't wanna see that coming.
What about seeing this one "coming". *motions towards crotch*
I was this close to quoting Darkfox (the sexy beast), but then I saw a better opportunity.

That's the meaning I was going for, Einstein.
-
Einstein's my Johnson's name.
I think we're getting somewhere.
-
I hate the cold.
****ing arthritis.
-
Hey, you guys know how I said it was snowing the other day?
Well, I'm in shorts and a t-shirt now. Also, humidity is 95% right now.
Yeah...
-
so, humidity is 95% right now.
I feel sorry for you.
-
Nothing out of the ordinary, really. We have two settings here: Dry as fruck, humid as fruck.
-
Gasp! Florida buddies! High five!
Word, yo.

And it's cold again. What the hell.
-
It is cold here and rainy. Yet no snow or ice. What the...?
-
It was 9 degrees today this morning.
WTF.
-
Hooray, snow!

...
Dammit, now I have to go brush off the cars.
-
And it's cold again. What the hell.
It's been cold in North Texas for weeks.
And I don't like it. My circulation is terrible.
-
Okay... A giant snow storm just went over yesterday, looks like it is done. Every school in the state was closed from what I gathered... Except my college... I still had my classes, except one I didnt have to go to and one where the teacher didnt even feel like showing up. I still had my morning class though, which was when you could only see about a foot in front of you outside... That was not fun to travel in, and I actually swallowed my pride and asked for a ride so I wouldn't have to walk.... Temperature was around the single digits early on, but rose to the mid-20's later on.
Seems like it will be a good winter up here.
-
Right. So the warmer parts of the states have snow? And yet here in Sweden we have nothing.
Maybe the globe turned too much last year?
-
Actually, I am in Vermont, so I should be having snow.
-
It's been cold in North Texas for weeks.
And I don't like it. My circulation is terrible.
Despite my name, I fair terrible in winter.
-
Don't foxes hibernate?
-
But he's a DARK fox.
I don't think that one'd turn white.
Also, apparently you're right.
Weird.
-
Despite my name, I fair terrible in winter.
What's your name? Snow Miser?
-
I got over 17 inches of snow in Madison Wisconsin :) Wednesday classes were cancelled around 8:30 on Tuesday night, so I walked over to the liquor store and bought a **** ton of alcohol and all of my friends got drunk. Then on Wednesday I got in a snowball fight with over 3000 people, it was epic.
-
What's your name? Snow Miser?
I WISH, then I could break out in song and cause pain and confusion in the process.
-
I hate arthritis. I really do.
-
I hate arthritis. I really do.
Goodness, you have that early age arthritis? Geez... you alright?
-
Extreme genetic predisposition sucks.
Pretty much everybody in my family has it.
And yeah, I'm alright as long as I don't stand for more than five minutes or stay outside.
Otherwise I regret living.
-
My sister has mild arthritis. She's 19. It happens.
-
I honestly had no idea you could get arthritis in your teens. Damn, that sucks.
-
Well, like I said, it's mild. She's mostly fine, but she's got a small fortune in Advil all around the house.
-
I've gone without arthritis, but I'm kinda lucky.
-
Hey, I knew a kid who had both Arthritis, AND type 1 diabetes. Poor guy. Never saw him after like 6th grade. People said that he died, but of course, that's clearly not the case, since I saw him once in 9th.
Of course, that was like, what, 5 years ago? Oh well. He's probably doing alright.
-
Insulin.
Yeah, it's still cold.
Why are we so off top-oh yeah.
-
Diabetes runs in my family. The future looks a little grim.

That, and I've got possible schizophrenia in my future. Whee.

DIABEETUS runs in my family. The future looks a little grim.

AH NO! LOOK WHAT WRATH YOU'VE CALLED UPON US! (http://nastyish.com/images/wilford%20brimley/wilford-brimley-diabeetus.jpg)
I have multiple problems and have possible heart disease in my future but maybe not since my mom has had none.
-
Fixed
My future looks even more grim.
-
Yeah, I have heavy diabetes genes from both sides of the family.
And I drink Mountain Dew like a ****ing um...Dewaholic.
-
Sugar is not really the enemy, being fat is. It doesn't really matter how many Mountain Dews you can chug a day so long as you exercise and keep your weight under control.
-
My grandpa's skinnier than I am (which is weird) and he has the diabeetus so bad that he can't really move, because his veins are so goddamn clogged up.
-
I was reading a book for AP Bio and I learned that diabetes actually helps people in cold climates. It seems that the excess glucose in the bloodstream makes the blood less likely to freeze.
Not all of us live in cold climates, though. Thank your genes.
-
I think I heard that too, especially about the Sherpas who always guide people up Mount Everest. They have some other supposed adaptations for resisting altitude sickness and stuff. Pretty cool.
