Waiting For The Snow

be a rebel, drive down to Montauk in your F-150 and ride some waves

high temps in NYC on Mon-Wed are supposed to be around 40, just right for melting/ not too much flooding?

ha it's funny how differently normal people discuss severe weather. all my teacher friends are like, yeah, it'll get warm enough so that the snow starts to melt, but then the low temp will hit and everything will freeze! the roads will be impassable! no school till Wednesday!

Baltimore is pretty crazy today to be fair and has not traditionally handled snow well.

10" so far http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/22/us/east-coast-snow-storm.html?_r=0

in NYC, of course

30 inches of snow sounds like a lot! damn ⛄ 62 and sunny here in beautiful denver colorado 🌇

you'll get yours in may

lol, yah

email received from Ver1zon at 6:58 pm TONIGHT:

"Jonas is coming -- are you ready?"

Worst drive home in 20 years last night. It was more the timing than the amount of snow, which was bad but we've had worse. Two-and-a-half hours for a 35-minute drive. One kilometer-long stretch of highway took almost an hour, and not because of an accident in the immediate area.

GET DA BREAD & MILK, NYC

so excited!

i can't believe how bored i am here. that was hands down the best day of 2016.

i remember i went to ft greene park the next day and all the young dads were losing their minds

so anywhere from 2" to 128" ?

1 league i think

somewhere between a quarter and half of a cubit

'bout so high

i love the 40-degree plunge

store owners that put down rock salt in front before the first flake falls, WTF?

btw I am NOT very excited bcz just before I left work, we all got a robo-call from Head Office saying "We are monitoring the storm, and we will be open tomorrow."

LOL at people who have to work. I cancelled my Pilates class

I fucking hate the rock salt though. All it does is discolor your shoes

They haven't called off yet at my job. Cmon guys ugh.

Haha wait they just called it right after I posted that.

I always find it funny to read the news how schools/workplaces/etc in the US are closed because of some snowfall... That never happens in here, and I'm sure even here in Southern Finland we get 50 times as much snow as NYC. Don't people there have snowplows?

There's a pretty big population difference

So? Presumably that results in more tax money/bigger budgets for the city or whoever would be responsible for the plowing?

LOL at yr ruined shoes Josefa

also at Tuomas' understanding of US municipal budgets

let me summarize my walk to the Q train:

cocksuck

• there are three million more people in nyc than in all of finland
• there are indeed snowplows, although perhaps not as many as there would be in places where such storms happen more frequently, and the subway still runs
• because such storms are relatively infrequent, having places close isn't a huge deal
• america is a v. litigious society, alas, and businesses etc. want to avoid liability for people falling down or getting snow in their shoes or whatever

I bought Girl Scout Cookies today so I'm all set for Tuesday.

Old Man Winter, die like a bastard

Bread, milk, and toilet paper! BREAD MILK AND TOILET PAPER!!!

...Sorry, I grew up in the DC area, and have been conditioned to respond this way to snow forecasts.

Huh, had no idea that snow => milk n bread was a thing until the thread revival

My work just called tmrw off

Local news predicting 15-25 inches with 30 inches possible in some areas. Great!

"Working from home" on what usta be a workfree snow day. Fuck our dumb century yet again.

maybe your internet will mysteriously go out

I hope I haven't lost all my shovelin' muscles now that I finally own property with front steps and shit

You'll know soon enough.

our foreign adversaries will no doubt have already begun engaging in extra-dastardly shenaniganeering now that all the NSA headquarters school systems have announced cloture

GEEZ YALL EVER HEARDA OPSEC

I hope I haven't lost all my shovelin' muscles
