Pretty sure when I introduce my son to "real" video games, he'll have a blast. He might have some issues with d-pads and buttons, however, since all he's used is an iPad. He just got finished beating everything on Angry Birds Go. That took a while. Now he wants more games, nothing specific, just more.
Too bad my 360 died, he would have lost his mind over Forza. Kid is just addicted to auto racing.

Lovely. An inch or two of snow and my town is SHUT THE FUCK DOWN. Office closed, schools and government offices closed.
And yet, I still have work to do from home. Snow day indeed.

I love the south. Last year they closed my university because of "EXTREME weather conditions". It was 9 degrees. When I told my family in Minneapolis, they all laughed. |

Friend and I have a Facebook hobby we call "Haiku Tuesday." Basically, we write haiku on Tuesdays and share on our walls for each other. Today's are about the lovely, lovely Chicagoland weather. Hers: Cold. Cold, cold, cold. Cold.
Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold. Cold, cold.
Cold, cold, cold. Brrr. Cold. Mine: Chiberia is
in Chillinois and that means
it's freaking cold out! So of course, in our exchange, she got that one friend who likes to be a smartass who posted " I agree. It's only 61 here in Fort Myers..." and makes you want to kill him. Because -6 is so totes the same as 61. GRRRR! So anyways, fuck this cold weather. I think the husband is more than serious when he starts talking about moving to Hawaii. |

65-75 with a slight breeze is ideal for me. Warm enough to stay outside all day without getting scorched or heat exhaustion. Perfect golf weather.

It's 12F here. A few days ago it was below freezing. We had 8 inches of snow the other day. Sucks. I like to keep my cold and snow where it belongs... on the slopes. Edit: Also, I have such a horrible headache right now I wish I could slip into a coma. I think it's because I went outside in the cold. I even have an earache.  |

It has been somewhat entertaining seeing the hullabaloo about the subzero temps back home while it is in the twenties in the mountains in Colorado. From the weather report it sounds like it will start warming up before I head back on Thursday.

Left home at 11:15am to get my soon from school. Arrived at the school at 12:15. Left the school at 12:30. Two hours later I stopped halfway at a Waffle House. No idea when I'll get home. It's awful out here.

Same here in Jackson. Hell, it started at 6 a.m. this morning before there was even a light dusting on the ground. People in this town can't drive for shit when it's CLEAR and now there's actual HAZARDS? Forget about it. Death traps on wheels. |

Got home after spending 7.5 hours to drive 20 miles. That was fun.
People in Atlanta are the biggest idiots on earth behind the wheel. It multiplies 10-fold in the snow.

Another city is added to the "places I will never willingly move to" list. That sounds fucking terrible. I'd just sleep at work or something.

Yep got home around 8 as well. Boss didn't even call anybody today to let them know the office is closed. I just sent in an email saying, "MARTA is fucked, my hill is iced, see you Thursday."
I'm drinking coffee in my Stewie Griffin flannel pants and watching Sportscenter today.

I imagine a lot of the problems when snow and ice hit the south is that it's just not feasible to have a fleet of snow plows and tons of road salt at the ready for the one time every few years this happens.
I mean if you live in Atlanta would you even own a snow shovel, would Home Depot sell them?

I feel bad for you guys (while a part of me laughs on the inside). Worst traffic I've ever had in my life took an extra 80 minutes to get home. That was about 15 years ago. I always laugh when American customers and coworkers assume we live in arctic conditions here. It was in the low 40s here yesterday.  |

Home Depot will sell you anything.
The problem is snow tires. Nobody in the area will sell you those. You'd have to ask and have them ordered special. Also, at least 80% of the cars here are 2 wheel drive.

Nope. No one has winter tires. These things are truly needed once every ten to twenty years. Ironically, my wife took the ice scraper out of her car on Monday. |

Most of these places don't have the capability to salt the roads, which is why it is such a clusterfuck. Here in San Antonio they put down sand, which is just a disaster waiting to happen.

I usually prefer sand as it gives my 4WD grip without needing snow tires. Salt eats the shit out of cars.
There was some hippy in the paper who wrote an article about not salting roads to save the planet and to use chemical alternatives. Without being a chemist and addressing teh viability to 'the planet' of those chems, they're more expensive, and our city budget is already in the fucking toilet. People are so narrow-sighted it would make me crazy if I didn't expect it. I meet someone with an open mind and critical thinking and openly weep in joy.
-15 last night. Even the wood stove was working overtime to keep up, with a full burn of red oak I could only hit 72. And still freezing my ass off because the slab under the front of the house was radiating cold, really wish I could afford to pull that floor and put in radiant floors.

Yeah, it's okay for people that have some idea of how to drive in snow/ice, but salt actually melts that shit, which is safer for idiots.
