F U Mother Nature Winter 2012/13 *Image Heavy*

[Greenday]

You people and living in cold places. Why do you do it to yourselves?

[dalesys]

SOS! Mayday! SOS! Mayday! It's snowing!


It was 62 yesterday...

It's May 1st, Beltane, the day to celebrate Spring and fertility, why the hell is there white stuff falling from the Sky!!!? I know here in Alberta, we joke about 8 months of winter but its just a Joke! Normally we only get 6, buts its been snowing since September!

... here in Alberta...!

I'm 1,000 miles south of you...

The snow has finally melted over here - except for the drifts and piles, but those are already out of the way for the most part. It's warm and dry enough that I should get out my bike and make sure it's still ridable.

Apparently people are still going out to walk on the sea ice in some places, despite repeated warnings that it is no longer safe to do so. There is a hovercraft-equipped rescue squad that has seen some action as a result; hovercraft aren't impeded by ice, weak or otherwise, in the way that conventional boats or vehicles are.

Few inches expected tonight into tomorrow.

Shorts. T-shirt. Beer. Palm trees. Sun. Random hot girls in bikinis.

Today was a rainy grey day, and I am sure every single one of you would trade your weather for mine, even with that.

Which is just one of many reasons why I am so ridiculously happy with my life.

As a contrast to Jester's sunny post there...we're getting sleet right now, and my car is covered in ice. Three to five inches of wet, slushy snow forecast by sunrise...which of course means it's going to be coming down right when I'm supposed to go to work. *sigh* Really, Mother Nature? Fucking REALLY? You couldn't have just stuck with rain and been happy?? Edit: My boss has her kids, and second AM is training new guy tomorrow night, which means I have to try and make it in to work. I may cry now.

[Jester]

In contrast to BrenDAnn, my biggest decision every morning is whether to drive my truck to work or ride my bicycle. I usually ride my bike, unless it looks like rain, it is raining, I am feeling lazy, or I am tired from crashing my bike/being electrocuted/falling on my ass/getting laid/being hungover/falling on my ass.

I ride my bike a surprising amount, all things considered.

I won't be mad at you Jester, but where the heck were you?

[Jay 2K Winger]

I won't be mad at you Jester, but where the heck were you?

The man himself already said where!

[Jester]

Thanks, Jay.

But to summarize in a shorter way than the thread I wrote that Jay linked to, suffice it to say that I was enjoying the tropical paradise island lifestyle...and unintentionally trying to kill myself.

Well, it might not snow here after all (central MN). However it will snow where I'm going Saturday (southern MN), and will screw up my visit to the family cemetery to visit my grandparents. It will also screw up any chance to go to the range and hurt some paper target Saturday. I'm not shooting in the snow.

I have friends in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I generally feel sorry for them.

[BrenDAnn]

So I just got up for owrk, and yes, I'm fairly certain Mother Nature forgot what fucking month it is, because it looks like December outside. *sigh* I'm actually shocked there aren't school delays yet. Yes, it's that damn snowy out right now... as a reminder, I'm in Iowa, which...makes me wonder how this has missed you in MN, Victory Sabre. Edit for an update: I can't get out of my drive. Seriously. I called my boss and (after a few aggravating minutes of phone tag between me, her and our 2ndAM) she's going to go in and open the store. However, it pisses her off, and she wants to know when I'm coming in later, because she's not staying at the store all day. Um...really? There's at least a good 4 or more inches of wet, slushy snow covering everything, and more coming down. No. Just no.
