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?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 9 February 2017 12:26 (seven years ago) link
There's a pretty big population difference
― badg, Thursday, 9 February 2017 12:34 (seven years ago) link
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

ffs, I'm having to cancel a very important hospital appointment with the orthotics dept for the head protection Alex desperately needs. I have been badgering his paediatrician's office for the last 6 months to get this and it just happens to be a total whiteout today of all days. Time to tell Snow to fuck off.

I just came to work because I love snow, tbh.
If I could work from home when the temperature was above zero and just come in when it’s like this, I’d be perfectly happy.

I was filming the kid using a beach float as a sledge on what is locally known as the mountains yesterday. He can barely get any speed going but keeps trudging back up the hill in blizzard conditions. It doesn't seem much fun at all, if he wasn't pissing himself laughing most of the time you'd think it was some grim cut from a Bela Tarr joint.

Working from home, heating up full whack, all the food I need for maybe two or three days and some wine in. Fully prepared to not go out again until it works.
We've a good view over the park and I keep stopping to watch random dogs going mental in the snow, quite enjoying it tbh, but I'm really glad I have nothing urgent or pressing to be getting done that requires being out of the house.

My own response has been to put out a bird feeding station first gotten as a gift over a year ago and hitherto unused. Still awaiting a first customer. Might move it nearer the trees

When I was putting some bread and seed out earlier I could feel the waft a blackbird flying right past my ear. When birds are in a life and death struggle they are not half as shy of humans.
