Blizzard, anyone?

Looks like the Ohio high school girls championship games were postponed until Monday.

 

Good call. I wonder how many people will actually show up. I'm about two miles from the Q. I don't think it's worth it to unbury my car, though. I could trudge to the bus stop ...

 

Damn, Headbutt, sorry to hear that. hopefully she's not fighting the travel. The Weather Channel has a guy here (not Cantore, thank God), whose footage showed a 4x4 plow stuck.

That's not a good sign.

 

Some jackass in a POS sedan just tried to go down the thoroughly unplowed alley right beside my place. He spent 20 minutes shoveling himself out.

 

I'm a Michigan kid who is currently displaced in Ky. We got like two inches, everyone freaked out and lost their minds. They almost postponed state bball tourney stuff -- and I think several scared natives took to their bomb shelters or something.
It's amazing ... at home when I was in school, we'd need like six to eight solid inches overnight to even think about having school cancelled. Here, if there is a CHANCE of a flurry -- everything shuts down.
Hilarious.

 

Toronto's gonna get around 20-30 cm--that's 9-11 inches for the metric challenged.

If we get 30, we'll have topped 200 cm --about 6 feet of snow so far this winter. That'd set an all-time record breaking the old mark set in 1970-71.

Last year we had 60 cm--barely 2 feet

Drove downtown this morning to get my FUCKING haircut and some guy in a big ass Buick slid out on the expressway bounced off the cement guardrail, bounced back across and missed me by about 2 feet.

 

Wow, if there's a thousand people at The Q for this game right now, I'd be shocked.

 

I don't want to hear any whining from anybody about snow unless they live here in Ottawa.

I have -- no exaggeration -- eight feet of snow in my front yard. Another six inches fell last night, and we're supposed to get two more feet today and tonight. There is nowhere to put it. I can barely fit my car in my driveway. It's just stupid.

Honestly, this winter, combined with the shitty U.S. dollar and the real estate crash down there, has had me seriously contemplating getting my green card and moving to Charleston.

 

I drove through this snowstorm last night to get home and man did it suck. For about 150 miles I was driving 30 mph on the highway. But yea, I agree with Jones. After being in Quebec, a foot of snow no longer impresses me.

 

Not our fault you live in Siberia.

 

Not coincidentally, see my thread about finding a new hometown on Anything Goes.
