Philly got a lot of fucking snow the last couple of days. I really wish I was like 8 years younger, so I could enjoy it.

I took this picture with my laptop's webcam, because I have no other camera.

Here I am in Texas, looking out the window at two inches of snow (and rising).
Come see Sprockets & Serials

Put a greatsword a maul and a greataxe in a room and ask them to take their pick

I couldn't believe everyone lost their shit over 14in-22in of snow. That's fucking pathetic. When I was living in Canada I would drive 30min+ through crazy ass snowstorms to game... or work or shop for groceries or whatever else, because seriously it's a fucking foot of snow that is functionally a few inches on any well-traveled road. I assume that its only hysteria and shitty drivers coming together into a conflagration of DOOM.

The reason people are going crazy over this is because the places that are getting this snow do not have the infrastructure in place to actually deal with the snow.

In Carlsbad NM this year the place received a foot of snow early December when they average about 5 inches of rainfall a year. This completely shut down the city; not because people were flipping out, but because you seriously couldn't drive because there were channels in the road of two-feet deep in water.mean_liar wrote:I couldn't believe everyone lost their shit over 14in-22in of snow.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
It's so cold, it might even snow here in Mobile.
Which hasn't happened in noticeable amounts since...um...1996. Yes, that's right. I was ten years old and had my right arm in a cast so my efforts to make a snowman were very much hampered.
I hope it does snow again.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Irony of the weather: I live in the Cleveland area, which was just named the Worst Weather City in continental 'mrrka, and this winter has been one of the mildest in recent memory. I mean, I've had to shovel the driveway like three times total.
Out beyond the hull, mucoid strings of non-baryonic matter streamed past like Christ's blood in the firmament.

I got snowed on in Berkeley once--about 1.5mm of it. In Olympia I got hit by a full 1/4 cm.Maj wrote:We don't have winter in the PacNW - just a rainy season (10 months) and a dry season (2 months).

I have Friday off.
Of course, I have Monday and Tuesday off, too, thanks to Mardi Gras messing with downtown.
That's right. Five-day weekend and I get paid for three of the days.

Here in PGH we lost our shit due to staggering incompetence in the face of record snowfall.mean_liar wrote:I couldn't believe everyone lost their shit over 14in-22in of snow. That's fucking pathetic.

It's not merely that we got the biggest snowstorm in 17 years - it's that we have a brand new public works director and it's that the mayor was out of town for a superbowl party and it's that people here would rather blame such officials without caring how deeply in debt the city is and how the state laws and crying about "unfair" taxation prevent any attempt to address the situation than shovel or salt one goddamn inch beyond the edge of their own parking space / property line.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
