First snow run of the season!

First house, I try to start my blower and immediately the cord snaps, then a second blower refuses to blow snow for some reason so I broke it further as an example to the others.

We did not have any further issues.

Stepped outside this morning and it's already 62˚F. If it were September or even October I'd think, "Oh, boy! Gonna be a hot one today!"

It's December, so my only thought is, "WTH?"

What the hell indeed!

I'm sick. Which of your aliases has a legitimate cure? I know for sure it ain't 4 Out Of 10 Doctors.

Find someone you don't like and cough in their face.

That should make you feel better.

The groundhogs are lying little f!!!ers.

I will bathe the tundra with their blood.

If I had any free time, and the tundra wasn't buried under four feet of snow, and it seems like a lot of work.

A foot of snow my ass!

And so it begins.

Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha.

Snow! Lots and lots of snow!!

Of course this being Madison, there will be school tomorrow.

Give me snow or give me warmth.

I even have the harness ready for the sled.

I was promised snow for today.

They even put the beet brine on the roads, anticipating snow.

So, where's the g&#$@*n f*%&ing snow!!!

That blast of Canadian air sure makes it feel chilly.

Whatever it takes to get acclimated.

So, you knew he wasn't moving up by me... :-(

Oh sure, just rub it in!

Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Welcome to my world!

Out of curiosity, how much is considered "a dumping" there.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

And especially, stay safe!

I used to live in Seattle, I know how incompetent the drivers can be. :-)

Because it's rained all day, instead of everything being covered in a half inch of ice, everything is now covered in a half inch of slush.

Which cannot be slid on. >:-(

Very disappointed the east coast got slammed with snow, and didn't involve us in any way. >:-(

>:-(

keeps sharpening snowballs in anticipation of the impending polar vortex.

We'll see about that...

Edit: note to self: friction does not sharper a snowball make.

It's twenty degrees right now, that's the warmest it will get today.

Another 4-6 inches (of snow) is expected Saturday night into Sunday.

Weight of winter layers is now up to 24 pounds, I added another wool lined hoodie, scarf, and gloves.

Cold? What's cold?

Give me a spear and I'll look exactly like the Horizon Walker from the Advanced Player's Guide. :-)

My favorite part of the first snowfall is seeing what people use for improvised windshield ice scrappers (that's also a good way to spot newbies)

Saw a guy using a pooper scooper today. It wasn't going well.

By the way, the best improvised windshield ice scrapper are CD cases.

I'd say we got a good 4 inches (of snow), very wet and packable.

Because Pea Bear is twelve and getting into Scream Queens we now have an assortment of snow person heads populating our yard.

November 19th, the day winter arrived.

Not complaining, It's been way earlier.

Off to get f$!@ing stocking caps, because it's f~+~ing cold out.

And then there's me in early March after getting shafted by that f&!&ing a~&%#&$ Groundhog.

Looks at 7 day forecast, glares in general direction of Freehold, glares back at forecast.

Edit: Begins crying over poorly planned wardrobe choices.

No, that must be the freezing rain that's coming down here, so much freezing rain. I don't cry, I get even....

Could you try to redirect this to Orthos or Tacticslion and Thegreenbucketgamer, we no longer have need for it, and I'd hate for them to... miss out.

Ha!

Sorry, it'll be so cold out east, I never wanted it to get that cold.

I suspect Freehold was fiddling with the controls.

... wait who had the winter thingy, pretty sure my thing was a summer collider..

Please note, those are daytime temperatures.

And yes, I'm promptly sending it Freehold's way afterwards (sorry CH!).

You should be sorry.

Don't blame me, I'm not in charge of the jet stream.

Oh, sure, go ahead, rub it in.

glares at the bay area

26 is our high today, after that, it starts to get cold, with no end in sight.

That f@!!ing Groundhog had better be right, I used to live on a farm, I'm not afraid of getting my hands bloody dirty.

I would never actually harm a groundhog, Caddyshack is one of my favorite movies.

Now, it starts snowing.

Lame.

Lamest Death Blizzard ever!

Stupid death blizzard hype!

Time is short, only a month and a half of winter left, and hardly a decent snowfall yet. :-(

Great!

Now we're down to 2-4 inches (of snow)

That's no good at all.

Reign of Winter has some pretty far reaching consequences if the player characters fail.

I want a blizzard now.

Mwahahahahaha!!!

Hope you weren't planning on a white Christmas Freehold!

Seems my Summer Collider works better than I thought it would.

Mwahahahahaha!!!

Oh no, I would say I didn't let it go.

Let's just say don't give quicklings dual initiative, and entrails can spell so many words, when dragged through the snow. :-)

We never got there, I killed the whole party, partially due to general low morale (the last two winters here have been brutal) and partially because my daughter would play the frozen soundtrack at key moments.

It had to be done, for that reason alone.

Too late! Plans have been made! Contracts sealed! I should get my revenge in 120-180 days, boy you guys are gonna regret f**$ing wi.... Oh, g!!&~&n it!

57 here, windy, has been raining for two days, should stop later, just in time for the annual bottoming out of temperatures, followed by a nice brisk inch of snow for the weekend.

I miss summer already.

It's that stupid in between time of the transition to winter that I hate so much!

Hard to get going this week.

Don't get me started on straight roads, I know your pain, and will again soon, just hopefully not too soon.

I should go check the weather forecasts...

Do SOMETHING weird, please Mr. Sky!

Looks at the forecast for today, and the snow flurries blowing outside his window, then realizes it's been weeks since he last felt the kiss of mid seventies to eighty degree temperatures

>:-(

Vengeance will be mine!

does stretches in preparation for Wunian snow dance

begins sharpening icicles and trying to craft militarized snowmen out of what few flakes have already fallen

Bring. It. On.

It is f*@~ing cold this morning, with a round of snow all but certain.

It's a good thing it's Halloween vacation, otherwise it might upset me more :-)
