Tonight we are planning on building a giant snowman

how giant?

[KustmAce]

Figure were gonna have to mount the head from the second floor

[ec437]

Nah, mount the head from the 3rd floor. Make sure you have to use shovels and wheelbarrows to build the body.

wow you're lucky, right now we've got no snow but plenty of ice. we got freezing rain and every road is coated in very slipery ice. it's the kind of weather where walking somewhere would be sketchy, let alone driving.

so i was driving to a friends house lol, and i was going MAYBE 5km/h and i got into a turn, turn the wheel slowly, and go straight. so i straighten out the wheel and start lightly applying the brake, it works for a sec then the tires slide. so i'm just riding this car straight at a granny speed and then i hear the inevitable *thud* and the first thing that goes through my mind is "oh shit i just broke my car" because any damage to my car is going to be a bitch because i pride myself on having a car in very good condition. anyways, as it turns out i only bumped my tire on the curb so there was no damage but it was one of those things where you have plenty of time to thing "oh shit oh shit oh shit" before it happens, and it sucks.

after hanging out at my friends house i come out and my car is literally covered in a sheet of ice, that's from an hour and a half. it's rediculous, we should be having snow right now, not rain and ice, damn global warming. i could have gone out drinking tonight with some high school friends that i haven't seen since grad but it's an hour away in good weather and good traffic, it'd probably easily be 2.5+hours to get there in this weather, if you make it there.

I'm just a few miles away from KustmAce, over in Aurora. Pretty much the same mess. These are pictures of my townhouse complex.

*Across the street. Snow's piling quickly. I took this picture the first set of pictures around 3PM.


Had to get a pic of Lil Blue. Unfortanutely, because of height, Lil could not go out and have fun.


Snow around the back fence. Funny thing is that at that time, I had no snow on the deck.



This is the second set of pictures. Took these 12AM

Another shot of the backyard. No snow on the deck. If I could stand it long enough, I woulda BBQ'd


Just wanted to laugh at the black Mercury thats just about completely burried.


Didn't really have time to take photos of the clean-up. but its going OK. Hoping to buy a new shovel. Broke mine while trying to get Lil Blue out.

Snow owns.

So many great blizzard memories as a kid. Its wierd that I curse the snow now that I have to drive to work in a lowered car with lowpro summer tires. I'll miss the snow when I'm back in florida tho

Snow owns.

WTF!!! I WANT SNOW. i've got horrible weather now, i'm probably the only place in canada without snow (except for BC but they don't count) this is f*cking retarded.

Its a brisk 54 degrees here at the moment, it was in the low 70s all week.

I'm pretty sure me and the whole city of Dallas would lay an egg if it ever snowed like that down here. They whole city freaks out over when get a annual "Texas" snow, which is nothing but sleet and ice.

I have a suggestion.




I just saw the 2nd video, lol.

"How's it feel to be the only one around here with balls Brian?"

[G-man422]

^ lol. Here in central Ohio we haven't even had any snow that has stuck to the ground yet. So much for a white Christmas.

I'm a little confused over the big fuss for this storm. Isn't 20" not that big of a deal for Colorado? I know in here NJ the state would be all but shutdown, but aren't you guys used to that kind of snow?

Damn...my uncle said it was bad but he didn't send any pictures, looks pretty nasty.

My friend and I might be going out there with the company he's working for to help with some of the snow removal. 18+ hour days of operating an endloader...W00t!
