Ice Storm

Yup. It's comparable to New York when hurricane Sandy came through. The storm was bad, yeah, but the fact that the entire state was unprepared for something like that (both by not having the right survival tools and by having buildings that weren't prepared for that kind of weather) is what made it so bad. Preparedness is what makes the difference between a bad storm and a crippling disaster.

Sandy was a little bit different than just being unprepared, but certainly that didn't help at all.

colleges here are shut down.

My father's boss on Friday told him to forget about coming in on Monday, and to work from home or something. So yeah, it's pretty serious up there. We'll hit single digits tonight down her in the south, which could be very bad since we really don't have the capabilities of removing snow and ice from the roads, but its nothing compared to what they're seeing north of me.

So my brother is still stuck in Florida, apparently the airlines don't want to fly west from there.

Meanwhile in Sweden, there's still no snow and we're having some spring like temperature. Just, minus the sun, y'know 'cuz the sky is covered by clouds for about half the year.

Dude it's like Sweden threw up winter all over North America.

Yeah, I think earth might have gotten a bit tipsy or something.
