Snow day!

Motherfucking snow day! Woooooooooooooooooop

This is probably the best snow day ever because other Tuesdays I have two world lit classes and a five hour break waiting for another tutorial in "speculative design".

This shit is jump-roping.

WOOOO.
Work cancelled.
The productive things I have done thus far:

-Gotten the car stuck in the snow prior to knowing work was cancelled
-Threw my cats into the snow and proceeded to watch the hilarity ensue
-Snowball fight with my brother (This is the perfect snowball snow)
-Laughed when my brother said "I really love these balls."

Meanwhile I'm sitting on a brand new $700 snow blower and its snowed all of one inch this winter in Reading...

I'm so pissed.

Enjoy it, boys!

My dog was hopping around like a rabbit in the snow, and when i went to make a snowball she'd jump over and eat it first.

This has been a pretty average snow year so far for me. We probably had one snowfall that was over 6 inches, the rest have been pretty minor...

In other news, a packed snowcone with hawaiian punch poured all over it is DELICIOUS.

I mean, I like hawaiian punch by itself, but DAMN.

You get snow, AND Hawaiian Punch snowcones???

How much snow fell? Because if it's a foot or less we'd never get off school and that makes me jealous.

About 8.5 inches where me, Dylflon, Dyne, Swan and Fox live.
This morning when everything was cancelled there was only about half a foot.

Yeah, 8.5 inches, but one of our commuter trains derailed this morning. And the wait to get on the skytrain platform, let alone the train, was half an hour. People took 3 hours to get in. Currently they're trying to get home and I don't even want to think about that kind of circus.

But yeah, good times.

A friend and i went out for a bit and we drove past a guy that was doing donuts in the middle of a non busy street. Then we gave him the thumbs up as we drove past.

Dylflon · 01-29-2008, 09:56 PM

YEAH PHIL! SFU CLOSED!!!! WOOOOOOO!

This was great because I've been sick and didn't get much sleep last night. Would have had to leave for school at 7:30 am and wouldn't have gotten home until 5-5:30 pm. Woke up to find that school was closed. Went back to sleep for 3 and a half hours.

Let's hope we get snow day part 2 tomorrow!

I got yesterday off because on 1"

It's crazy, Redmond doesn't have plows, so if there is snow on the ground in the morning, they close school until it melts.

Our school is on top of a mountain. So if one foot fell here close-ish to sea level...the mountain is infinitely worse. They close the school when getting to campus becomes life threatening or impossible.

We've had a Blizzard warning down here near Rochester, MN since this morning. I got to leave work early, so that's awesome.
