Waiting For The Snow

The combination of wind and freezing rain looks like it's snapped the external water pipe of our neighbour, and it pours out over into my yard whenever they use their water.

So taking out the garbage is sorta russian roulette for me right now.

It is rain-snowing in nyc

The company is paying for a hotel so i'm back to being charmed by the winter wonderland again.

a taxi to Kent would only set them back, what, eighty quid?

I guess I don't know taxi fares tbh

My car got stuck twice and the second time I had to get a tow truck.

I think a police officer telling you to turn around and go home is a good excuse not to go to work.

Uber was quoting me £165 and I couldn’t ask anyone to drive in this weather in good conscience but I appreciate the strangeness of being stranded a 40 minute train ride from home.

don't forget folks, if your boiler has stopped working, make sure the condenser pipe isn't frozen (which can be sorted by pouring some tepid to warm water on it), before you end up paying a grand to that Pimlico Plumbing scrote.

Another foot of snow Wednesday

did you hear the thundersnow in NYC?

It has returned! (Powys) - we got off very lightly last week

according to bbc weather this is supposed to be sleet, It's looking 10cm + of sleet atm.

so conveniently on the very Saturday I'm supposed to be getting a settee delivered to replace the broken one and a home relegation 6 pointer against Palace is supposed to be happening, the bastard white stuff is back with a vengeance.

NYC forecast for tom'w now 15"

fuck this shit

^_^

yay another snow day, there is no way the NJ crew is gonna be able to make it to the office tomorrow.

family coming in from CT tomorrow to see... Frozen

about that plan, they may have to... letitgo

11-year-old princess will not let that happen

morning commutes look doable, return not so much

Eh, unless they get in before 5am that's going to be difficult...

If MetroNorth shuts down by dawn, we must be looking at different forecasts. (but in the long run idgaf)

School will make us come in and then fight our way home, they don't gaf either.

The Disney people are allowing exchanges, so the Broadway outing is off. And we were going to eat at Sardi's.

NYC public schools are closed on Wednesday https://t.co/ZGk6yf2Grx

— NY1 Weather (@NY1weather) March 20, 2018

My work announced that their decision would be pegged to public schools’ decision, so that’s that. Second Wednesday snow day in the last three weeks

still waiting on OPM to call it, but DCPS have already said tomorrow's off

I'm going to be so far behind

First snow storm of the fall in Toronto. It's really not that bad, but I'm here at school for interview night until 8:30--one no-show after another--it's a parking lot in both directions in front of the school, there are road closures close by, and I fully expect to get home around 11:00 tonight.

snowed over here too. we are pleased

It sipple out deh

Generic post about how a little bit of snow and this country goes to shit

Generic riposte about how it's not that surprising given that our temperate climate means it snows (comparatively) rarely and irregularly.

~~~snow squall~~~

Yuck

Yeah that was something. And then it was gone

Second time in a week my whole school board has been shut down. (Today for freezing rain.) And there was a preemptive no-bus day mixed in, in anticipation of expected afternoon snow--which did come, so that was a good call. I think that's some kind of a record in the 20 years I've been doing this.

This winter is a bit ridiculous. It's seems like it's always either 20 below zero or freezing rain.

Another school-board closure today--third in two weeks. Before that, we probably had four or five complete closures in the previous 20 years. (I might be the only teacher in the whole board who prefers a no-bus day to a closure. No buses means no students, so I go in and get a ton of stuff done. Closure means I get nothing done.)

this is insane. the entire weekend my driveway was solid ice, this morning about 12 inches dumped on it in a matter of like two hours. spend 90 minutes shoveling my way out only to almost immediately drive into someone's lawn because I couldn't see where the road was. can't remember another winter like this

this winter is bullshit

i'm not asking to grow flowers in the desert go skating on the hudson, but show some respect

I know
Total fucking ripoff

I kind of hate Winter, but this shit gives me the creeps.

uh we are having a thunderstorm right now

like, a summertime-type rain storm

closest we're going to get is the monday coming, forecast shows hail all day. but probably won't even get that.

xp: I saw one notice that said there is "the potential for tornadic activity".

Wish snow was on the way, but apparently it's all wind and rain w/ Ciara on the way (the storm, not the singer)

and we have thunderstorms forecast for sunday too

it has been very dry and windless for the last two days up here, but all weather forecasts are saying it is the calm before days of wind, storms and torrential rain.

Yeah Sunday here looks extremely grim (torrential rain & 60mph gusts) just when I'm taking my son to his football match

Here we go.
