Thought the blob was trying to break in x3

I thought a macro had cum all over your house.

Nah, it's not Wendsday

2 more days *counts the minutes* Muahahaha

Wow, that's a lot of snow

yeah. Also just finished digging out the car and that's no fun with a hangover.

I see. Were you able to get the snow off, though?

Oh yeah it's a done deal, hopefully it all doesn't drift back in

*nods*

Holy crap

Yeah, that's what I said when i opened the blinds.

Would you rather have the snow or the cold?

If you have the snow you have the cold, though honestly i wouldn't change anything here. We get dumped on in winter but no earthquakes, floods, huricanes or other disasters like that so it's kind of pointless to complain

Its not going to snow if its -30C or it would be REALLY unlikely to.

The East coast gets hurricanes just rarely, they usually weaken to a strong storm before they get there.

True and yeah, when you're looking at those kinds of temps it's kind of rare to see anything falling except for spirits of the people dealing with it.

lol yea, its even worse when you factor in the windchill. Like on New Years day it was -46C with the windchill *shivers just thinking about it*

man i thought we were doing bad when our windchill was at -32 that day

hehe, the temperature tonight without the windchill is supposed to be -34C

Its apparently -41C with the windchill right now lol

lol ok well we're at -22 and the windchill has it at -38 at present Either way not fun.

No its not fun at all.

Really, once the temperature starts hitting negative numbers, there's not much difference. They should just mark everything below 0F as "F-ING COLD!" and be done with it.

But we measure it in Centigrade, what would that be then? C-old as shit i guess?

-40 is where the C and F scales meet, actually (-40C = -40F), so your -38 with wind chiil is close enough to it that either one applies.

ahhhh ok still, yeah it's flippin cold out here.

Heh -- the only reason I know that off the top of my head is that the monitoring equipment we sell at my workplace has an operating-temperature range down to -40, so the fact that the bottom end of the temperature range was the same in both C and F was an amusing oddity I noticed when making the user manual.

huh well still, it's odd that they both balance out at that point, but yeah amusing all the same

Heh -- not all that odd, really. The two lines had to cross somewhere

°F = 32 + (°C * 1.8), so

(-40°C * 1.8) = -72, and -72 + 32 = -40, so

-40°F = 32 + (-40°C * 1.8)

Yay math.

ahhhh ok i never knew the formula for the F scale. Yeah it does make perfect sense now that you put it like that.

Wow...Glad to hear you guys are okay.

Yeah, we're alright. Though a lot of people aren't right now. A lot of the long term care facilities and old age homes were caught completely off guard by this in spite of it being predicted several days ago.

Jeeze that's sad

Yeah. ?You ever get the feeling that the powers that be aren't exactly playing with a full deck?

All the time sadly

...

OMG!!! O o O
Here in Florida we're getting back to the beach XD!!!
I agree with Rappy, kinda looks like a blob trying to get in.

Hahahaha yeah it's kinda got that look. Also see if you can bottle some of that Florida sun and mail it up this way

Jack Frost is coming to kill you !

He'll have to do better than that but still, don't encourage him

http://youtu.be/eBSGd8ojKsI

oh yeah, anti freeze in the coffee for the win

I wish that would happen

you wish what would happen?

getting snowed in

ahhh below the snow line i take it?

xD
California desert

Oh man, lucky you. Say isn't that natural terretory for Brown Tatantulas? I'd tried to get one as a pet here for years but can't lay my hands on them.

yeah,we have those out here, as well as sun spiders.Which are cooler and funner to own xP

Also

*takes your Ushanka*

Niiice. Yeah the pet stores around here tend to focus on the more colorful varieties since most people get them as showpieces.

And *pulls another one out of his jacket* Always be prepared.

well here, you can buy one from a local pet store, or just go out and hunt one yourself xD
I see them a lot when I hike arount the mountains near my home

sounds nice. And here's where i go all out geek and start thinking about how cool the airsoft scene could be out that way

xD
that's what I do when I'm hiking
I bring my airguns with me and look for bottles and the likes
Spent shotgun shells make fun targets as well, alongside those little green army men xD

oh perfect. Hmm what kinda airgun do you use? Mine's a 1/1 scale AK47 reproduction AEG in 6mm

I had a M4, but the barrel broke off
I currently use a Baby Desrt Eagle made by Umarex
I have also just got (but not have used yest D:) a Smith and Wesson TRR8 by Umarex

Very cool. Sadly the Canadian market doesn't have as much choice as elsewhere for those things. But still, that's a pretty sweet setup.

I've heard how the crack down on airguns in Canada, lowing the FPS and the overal performance of the guns. That sucks.

Well it's just that if it's over 500 FPS you have to regester it as a firearm and really you wouldn't really need anything over that velocity to have a good game. My AK is 435 FPS and the M4 i have is 450 and they both have high accuracy up to 50 yards. I had a sniper rifle for it too and that one was good for up to 100 yards at 490 FPS

I never did any of the competition stuff.
I only go out and shoot at things xD
My guns are 4.5mm (.177) bb rounds

ahhhh ok. I just do it for fun myself. Me and my friends make teams and we go out and do some capture the flag and things like that. Also VIP games are good too

You use the 6mm rounds or the 4.5mm?

6mm and we use paper shot (each one weighs 0.2g) So my usual loadout is either my AK, M4 or Shotgun (it fires in a spread) with my 1911Colt as a backup plus a hand grenade and (rubber training) knife.

wow, sound so fun
Dx

yeah. Except for some reason at one of the games i got shot in the mouth three times

what, no face protection? xD

if you have a Ushanka irl, a balacova looks real nice with one

I was wearing locust style goggles for eye protection and after the first time i started wearing my Shemagh up on my face but in for the other times I was behind a wall at an abandoned campground and i took the scarf off to adjust it when one of the guys came around the corner and blasted three of us with an automatic. The other time it was the dumbass of the group who didn't know his gun was loaded and ended up shooting me in the face.

xD
Airguns do have safteys, so he's doubley dumb for not knowing ti was loaded, and for not having it on safe

yeah..... but every group has one.

not my group xD
my group only has me
unless I dub as the dumb one as well

If you're solo you're both ends of the spectrum. Just keep an eye out for your moments is all. We all have them after all.

I'm my own worst nightmare xD

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to flood up your submission with chat xD

salright, i enjoyed it

Likewise, hit me up on Skype if you ever want to chat again

sure thing. But for now, it's off to the kitchen and then at the art game

lol ok
stay safe
it's been fun

God I'd love, love, love to wake up to that outside my window.

god, why? This sucks

But it's snow, it's soft, cold, you can throw it at people. Dive into it, make snow angels, power slide your car through it, dig in it, etc. etc. And because people stay indoors there is more time for D&D and other fun stuff. If you have a fireplace, and a girlfriend, you got auto romance moment set up.

Ehhhhh sort of, it's dry snow and lots of frost so sliding and loss of car control are almost guarnteed but sadly we don't have a fireplace.

What the...XD

yeah, fun stuff right

Im sorry, I actually suffered this once.

guess it kind of goes with the terretory, literally

^^;

I've seen that view before here in Maine, but it's been a few years.

This kind of a storm in a rarity here too but yeah, it seems the east coast is having one of those winters.

In one case, it was the view from the second floor. I was attending a scout event at a community college. Seeing that on the second floor over a roof made me really, really nervous about events happening below that snow load on the first floor.

sheesh, yeah i can understand that.

Dude, is your window bowing in?!?!

No, thankfully it's not being pressed on all that hard and the draft is in it's own way helping by allowing heat to melt the snow closest to the window.

that is a freakin lot of snow. and we lost power twice more here today

Hmm i'm on my third restoration of the day myself. It's been fun i have to say

yeah, fuuuuuuun

wha

yeah

i kinda wanna be there remove the window and start digging a tunnel out using a spoon XD

hahaha i'll settle for buying mine. At least that way i'm fairly sure that the superintendents dog didn't add his own flavor

awesome view... now to cut out a hole and you have your own snowcone machine!

lol like i said above, I fear yellow snow

Oh dear! O~oU

yeah i'll second that

Hope you have lots of non-perishable food, water, and blankets. Looks like you'll be stuck for a while.

Plenty of all of the above. Besides which things should be back to normal tomorrow

Hooooooooly shit!!!!!

that's what I said when i finally got outside and saw that the apartment door was right between two 12 foot high drifts that were blocking off any way of getting out of there. Thankfully we didn't have any kind of emergency that would have meant leaving the building.

that's good at least. but damn I've never seen a snow storm of this magnitude

Good thing you weren't here back in 2000 then. That year we broke a 200 year record for most snowfall on the island

Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man finished early

good to know i wasn't the only one who thought that when i looked out there

y'all too, eh?

this weather is insane DX

it sure is. So whereabouts would you be to be caught in this mess?

West virginia, in the vicinity of beckley.

Ahhhh ok yeah i can see how you'd have room to complain too

Damn O_O

yeah it's something else

if you think about it the snow should actually insulate the place

Oh it does, and i'm glad for that. The windchill has it down to -38 today.

daaaaaaaamn

yeah. fun stuff

You mean that's not the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man Monster's ass?

No, thankfully it isn't. If it was i'd have a whole other order of problems to contend with

Wow. And I thought we get alot here in Wisconsin. XD

Truthfully this is a freak occurance. Also the wind was blowing in on that window so an abnormal amount of snow wound up over here on this end of the building. At the same time our door was facing the same way so for most of the day we were trapped indoors

that is way more then what we got here

Yeah well to be honest the wind had it piling up against that window so it's kind of deciving but still, it was the same way for our door so for most of the day we were trapped.

You get that and in england we get a couple of inches (and that's not very often where I am) and they talk about closing roads and schools

to be fair, that's kind of the norm for us too

lol I thought it was just us being mad, here it's pretty much accepted that british weather is the worst regardless of anything

nah every place says that about their own particular weather conditions. Sometimes it's wit ha bit of good reason but most of the time it's just something to complain about

well we brits love to complain.... It's our national sport y'know ^^

I thought that was football?

nah the croud shouting is what wins the game, which ever side gets the most angry and complains the loudest. The players are just there to look pretty.

nice

=3

Ha! Down here in central Texas, they'll close roads and schools (and a lot of businesses will actually cancel work shifts) if we get more than about an eighth of an inch!

(Although to be fair, it's mostly because it happens so rarely -- maybe once every 3-4 years, on the average -- that most people who live here really don't know how to drive on icy roads, and due to the geography and layout of the city, it's nearly impossible to get from point A to point B without having to go over at least one bridge, overpass, or road going up or down a fairly steep grade. Yes, believe it or not, not all of Texas is flat, dry desert. Up in the northern part of the state, where Dallas and Ft. Worth are, they get that kind of weather much more frequently, so they have trucks to spread de-icing compound on the roads and all that. Down here in Austin, our "de-icing trucks" are a couple of convicts shoveling sand out of the back of a dump truck. )

1. Open drapes.
2. Smack lips.
3. Say "Черт."

something like that, though my swear word of choice was sponsored by the letter "F"

You know what clears a path?

MOTHER FUCKING HOME MADE FLAMETHROWER!

It's like a potato gun, except with gasoline and a pilot light.

Guess what i don't have? Clue it's the stuff to build one of those. Also i'm no longer 16 and invincible

Third degree burns on 85% of your body aren't that bad.

Welp this brings back memories. In 2003 we got 7 feet of snow, locked down pretty much everything for a week. Did however give us an excuse to jump off the roof with snow shovels to tunnel out the front door.

nice though it sounds really intimidating. If all 7 feet fell at once i'm guessing there was a lot of roof damage too

Oh dear god there was. Estimates were from between 2 to 5 k to repair it. (The insurance folks said "quick patch job, 250$. You have no idea how pissed the folks were about it.) Later that week we lobbed ourselves into it from the neighbors 2 ish story wooden fort they built for their kids.

oh wow man.

This is why I am glad I am in Texas.

lucky bugger

We are also going through a heat wave.

Man, stuck on opposite sides of the spectrum

I can see. Yeah crazy how stuff like this happens.

Dear god I heard of Lava flows but snow flows? XP. Seriously it looks like a lava flow made of snow.

yeah it does have that layered look doesn't it.

yep. So instead of burning up do you freeze up?

Only if you were laying on the ground while it was piling up

Damn!!!

yeah that's what i said too

………………………… Damn I've seen some snow here in Idaho but never gotten snow that high here.

yeah it's really something

yay i live in florida!

care to send some of that sun my way?

Holy CRAP!

Here there is no snow ever, it is summer and the weather is a little cool, like, it is around 6:30 am and the weather is like... 31C XD we expect something around 41C today midafternoon, i dont know if the cold or the hotness is worse (oh before you mention air, most of us dont have it)

hmmm yeah sometimes the heat can be just as bad as the cold. Especially if there's a lot of humidity with it.

At this time of the year, humidy rarely drops below 75%, there is a storm everyday from 4 to 6pm

sheesh

God it's stuffy in here........I'm gonna open a WINDOW

It sure would be a shame if Merlin decided to take a giant pee on your bed right now.

He pees on the floor

Ohhhhh god. Maybe it's because i keep being woken up by the fire alarm shorting out and going off so i'm not on much sleep right now but that really made me laugh

Well he does. He doesn't like staying in his cage

Also sorry to hear about the no sleep

ahhh so it's a retaliation thing. Also yeah this thing is getting on my nerves

Not really retaliation. The cage is always open and the spot in front of the door is the spot he chose

ahhhh ok now i gottcha. So by now it's learned behavior and he thinks that's what he's supposed to do. My brother has a cat that does that with the skirt that covers the base of the Christmas Tree.

It was learned behavior before I got him.

He picks a spot and just goes there. So nothing I can do

yeah, most animals are like that. He's still cute though

Yep I love him

That's what makes him lucky

I wanna make a fem ferret girl

So winter came. hope you braced yourself.

oh we did. This was forcast well in advance. We were prepared, long term care facilities, old age homes, hospitals and the power company however were not. Can someone tell me how this is possible

We had no snow at all. The entire damn winter.

you are quite fortunate

The rain wasn't much better, especially since it'd freeze overnight.

oh ouch man, yeah that can be a real problem

OH GOD ITS KILLER ICE CREAM!.......oh wait thats snow x.x

lol well either way, here's a spoon if you're interested.

hmmmm death by brainfreeze? or i just hump the snow away with my hotness! *strips and poses* yeah baby!

oh that second one could get mighty uncomfortable.

i'll be fine i have the blessing of fire.

hehehe in that case enjoy yourself, I'm just gonna close the blinds and have the fire extinguisher ready to go

i'm to hot to be put out *dive humps the snow melting it* OH yeah!

XD

That is a metricfuckton of snow. Now i am glad you are okay....Now on to the jokes.

1. Why is the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man mooning you?

2. Why is that not whipped cream?

3. Hmm open the window an use it all for a temporary shrine of some sorts.

lol yeah this was really something else. We're alright. As for the jokes? Laaaaaaaame.

Though one year we had one big storm that was worse than this. We got over 1Y of snowfall in one day

Still lot of snow. hey i was tying to be nice with the jokes.

lol i know, i just had to play Statler and Waldorf there

O.o Oh boy, I was about to ask if you're all doing okay, we keep seeing images of the winter on the east cost in the tv. We had a lot of snow here the past three years, well, at least for our region it was a lot of snow, but that's nothing compared to what I see now.

The bark of that picture is worse than the bite. Though i'll admit things aren't being handled well by the people in charge. Electricity is still a problem and we're never sure when it's going to give out.

Well, when we have about 10 cm snow, it's like the end of the world for people here! I couldn't imagine what would happen if we had that much, I guess Germany would collapse.

I'm sure you'd make it, it would just be a lot of chaos between point A and point B

WELL THEN

I hardly got any snow in comparison to you, yikes. Hope everything turned out all right.

Also, the "I want to go to cuba now" tag made me laugh. XD

Yeah we're relatively OK. We've got blackouts happening periodically since Friday, Schools shut down till Wendsday, Some 30000 homes that have been without power since this started (and that's homes, not individuals) and yet, accordint to the Premier of the Province, everything is just peachy

Of course everything's fine, what nonsense you talkin' bout? >_>

Be thankful this is your biggest government problem. Here in the States...it kinda speaks for itself.

uhhhh yeah well about that. Things are starting to look a little weird around here too but yeah it's on a whole other scale

Germany here, could we get some... so you have less and we have some at least :)

HAAHAHA if i could arrange that i would.

Either that's snow, or it's a alien parasite that looks and taste like ice cream. Yr boned...

It isn't The Stuff so it must be snow

I'm pleasantly surprised that you recognized and remembered that movie.

I've got a thing for B movies. Hell, my pet rats are all named after Italian exploitation directors.

Nice!

Holy struth, that is A LOT of snow. And to think that here's it 10:30 in the morning and it's already 36 Celsius with a max of 44.

oh man don't tell me that.

Why's that?

it makes it seem that much worse here

I don't know, 44C is't exactly a picnic.

neither is -32, which is what it was when that was happening but still, i guess we all have our crosses to bear

Touche. Horrendous weather on both ends of the scale.
