Eh, Snow Day
 
Yeah, so I have a snow day today. We got a front that dropped about 5 inches, and will drop a couple more today. It's really blizzard-like outside with the winds. Hurray for video games!

It was like 90 out here today.

We've had a foot of snow...yet no day off school. :(

All the time, people go on about health and safety, but when the whole school grounds are covered in complete sheet ice, well, it doesn't matter then. Someone slipped over, cracked their head on the ground and has had to go to hospital, but still, a day in school.

AND IT'S SNOWMAN SNOW! YOU ROLL IT AND IT STICKS! :cry:

But anyway, we're expecting another couple of feet tonight, so all is not lost. :D

I'm actually the education minister for Britain. You're welcome Lenny.

Medieval Bob 2006-03-13 12:04 PM

Where the hell did it snow 5 inches?

It's hot in Texas.

Lenny 2006-03-13 12:07 PM

Minnesota, I think.

Willkillforfood 2006-03-13 12:08 PM

A lot of the Midwest. There was a huge outbreak of tornadoes/severe storms and snow followed.

Jamesadin 2006-03-13 12:10 PM

5 Inches? What the hell, thats absolutely nothing. Where do you live?

Lenny 2006-03-13 12:12 PM

Minnesota!!!!

We had a foot. :D but that's nothing. :(

Willkillforfood 2006-03-13 12:13 PM

There was what, 100 tornadoes because of this front but at least you got a snow day! :p

Lenny 2006-03-13 12:14 PM

Tornado Day!

Radio crackles on: "Due to the Tornadoes, the following schools will be closed..."

AH, nuts. Mine hasn't popped up. Stupid Tornadoes...

Willkillforfood 2006-03-13 12:16 PM

Mm, we had a 4 on the Fujita scale in November and we didn't get out of school. Many homes were utterly devastated. There was a golf course which was almost entirely engulfed by the storm. Too bad there are so many trees and shit ...I wish I could have seen a good video of it. My uncle took a good picture of it though, thing was fucking huge - from miles away it looked so big even.

Lenny 2006-03-13 12:18 PM

Apparently it takes, on average, two and a half hours to shutdown a school. If ti doesn't start snowing during the schoolday, then we have no chance. Teachers are too lazy. :(

Willkillforfood 2006-03-13 12:23 PM

Some schools around here get closed when there's .5 inches of snow :P.

MightyJoe 2006-03-13 01:55 PM

That weather would be good for us, maybe tomorrow we'll get it. Today it was sunny, and windy prolly mid 50s.

We could have 18 inches of snow here and the school wouldn't close (its happened). The buses dont run if it is below -40 C, and only once did the school not open, because it was -55 C (-67 F) outside with the wind.

Jessifer 2006-03-13 05:58 PM

We've been under a tornado watch since last night.

Interesting fact, the largest tornado to hit the U.S. last year hit my town in Western Kentucky. Cool, right? :p You'd expect that from Texas or some shit.

HandOfHeaven 2006-03-13 08:55 PM

This was in southwestern Minnesota. Yeah, I went sledding today after smoking 5 bowls. It was the shit.

Thanatos 2006-03-13 09:11 PM

So you've turned into a really big pothead, huh?

HandOfHeaven 2006-03-13 09:18 PM

Yeah, for another couple of weeks. I just love it because the time that I'm sober is hardly ever.

Willkillforfood 2006-03-13 10:23 PM

I hope you get through this x_X.

HandOfHeaven 2006-03-16 04:04 PM

Ha, another snow day today. Last night I went to a state basketball tournament game in Minneapolis and we kicked ass. That and the fact that I made a special peanut butter snack to enhance the experience. I took two Ritz-like crackers, peanut buttered both sides, stuck a ten-sac in between, wrapped it in tin foil, and baked it for 20 minutes at 300. I'm still buzzed from it, but then again I am still fairly new.

Sovereign 2006-03-16 05:33 PM

It snowed here today. And i fell asleep with my window open. I wake up shivering. :-\

Jessifer 2006-03-16 08:58 PM

Well then don't sleep with your window open during snowy season, y0. :weird:

JRwakebord 2006-03-16 09:12 PM

He has to, because closing it makes WAAAAAAAAY too much sense.

Sovereign 2006-03-17 12:36 AM

That + I love being cold when I'm awake. Asleep is another story.

Willkillforfood 2006-03-17 09:56 AM

You burn more calories that way! :o.

Jessifer 2006-03-17 10:47 AM

It's freezing in my bedroom in the morning anyway, but I just love the feeling of being completely curled up in my blankets. Cozy. :)

Lenny 2006-03-17 11:04 AM

Cold bed when you go to sleep, toasty warm when you wake up. That's the way to do it!

sciencekid 2006-03-17 01:33 PM

but then you don't want to get out of bed. :( but it is better then the reverse though

Lenny 2006-03-17 01:43 PM

There's an answer to that.

Mean alarm clocks!!

http://www.uberreview.com/2006/03/to...rm-clocks.htm/

My favourites have to be #s 10, 3 and 1. How annoying would it be to have to run after your alarm clock every single morning? :p

HandOfHeaven 2006-03-18 10:08 AM

I totally want to get #10 or #1. Piss my parents off so much.

sciencekid 2006-03-18 03:26 PM

if you want to piss off you parents get one and leave the house before they can catch you lol.. or better yet get the grenade alarm, glue the battery lid shut and run off with the pin! hahahaha rotfl they would get so mad!

Sovereign 2006-03-18 05:12 PM

I'd just break it :-\.

Lenny 2006-03-18 05:48 PM

But it would mean having to get out of bed, rummage, in a state of anger and tiredness, for the hammer, find the blasted grenade and smash it. By which time you'll be too awake to go back to sleep.

Grenade 1 - 0 Sov.

Jamesadin 2006-03-18 05:49 PM

Yeah, the grenade would kick soo much ass.. :P

Lenny 2006-03-18 05:54 PM

I'd prefer the ones that run away...or the one that goes into the ceiling.

Not only are they annoying in the way that they run away, but you also get your morning excercise done at the same time. :)

Sovereign 2006-03-18 06:32 PM

I've been known to destroy things in my sleep.

Id be suprised if that thing could wake me up though

HandOfHeaven 2006-03-18 06:34 PM

Ha, I sleep-walk sometimes. One time I woke up on the mound of a baseball diamond 5 blocks from my house.
