Tales of Home [7]

The best part is when the police flashes their lights just to pull them over to tell them they are awesome.

That was brilliant ! great video, nice to see people having fun

I liked the police part too.

I did a bunch of shoveling this afternoon, after other people had made some progress earlier in the day. We got a call from the County's emergency manager explaining/apologizing for why so many streets haven't been plowed yet. Ours got that first pass or two on Friday before most of the snow fell, but we're still snowed in terms of vehicles (you can however walk about 40 meters and get to a plowed street, which one of my step-brothers did to escape to a friend's house ). There'll be even more to shovel off the driveway once the plows have come through, of course.

Looking up the hill and showing the edge of the snowbank:


A sense of snow height as compared to our neighbor's vehicles:


Two of our cars have been dug out from the snow even though they have nowhere to go. These are the ones that haven't:

You really get it bad dont you Reminds me of the film "Grumpy Old Men",

Let it snow let it snow let it snow !!


On another note. First lecture at 8:15... Next lecture at 15:15 (3:15) and an iPhone with 25% power left, no charger and no computer. Was planning on reading at campus in the hours between but now i struggle... Go home, charge and probably fall asleep or...?

Go home, charge with alarm set, EAT, come back.

Did just that! And i feel energized!!!!

Wait, people eat and sleep during college?

NB still snowed in, had to cancel a couple doctor's appointments. Dunno if I'll be able to reschedule them for tomorrow either cause the plows might not have come, plus we'll have to dig through the resulting snowbank once they do.

hey! make a snowman then  enjoy the "state of emergency"  


well, i am at university and yes if i can sneak in a nap between 10 in the morning and 15 (3) in the afternoon, i will

Shitty weather! Yesterday we got hit by a storm, rain and wind gusts from 70 to 100 mph.

It hit my bit worst between 5am and 10am- I was walking to walk through it at 6.30.
Filmed this, its just as I am cresting a hill that is the most exposed bit as the wind from sea comes right in unblocked-





And right after the storm the weather switched right round, coming from the north, and we got freeze on wet and now snow again on top of that, with another storm of rain and wind and similar wind speeds expected Monday- when once again I will be walking to work through it.

Sorry to hear you have to keep walking through that, Petty. I hope it lets up soon.

We had some heavy flurries of snow yesterday but fortunately there was still enough salt on the roads that it didn't accumulate on them at all.

The storms hit us hard in the south east also. The noise of the wind sounded like the crashing of an angry ocean. The rain lashed spitefully at you making your face sting. You couldnt stand upright in it let alone walk in it. All thru the night & early this morning it carried on. Its quiet at the mo but weathermen say its the lull before the storm, Weve got more coming later on

the storm was super hyped.. went out but it was such a disappointment,

Well, my Simi cocked his leg & got blown clean over It raining freezing rain at the mo

oh for fook's sake! this weather is impossible! don't want to go out in it, but I have to.

I was out at 7AM this morning, taking mutterhound for a walk & I was surprised ( but loving it ) How quiet it was. It was like I was the only person on Earth feeling. An owl was still hooting in the trees behind me & the night sky was just waking up to a bird song dawn. Not only daffodils about but, the crocuses are out, Its getting very Springeth There's a mild breeze blowing & Im feeling quite ' Hey nonny no' Ive got an itch in me tights & it aint medical

Going to be a hot week here in Perth.

Yikes. Stay cool, chris!

Those huge swings in temperature must mean it's also extremely dry. At least you'll get some proper sweat cooling.

My arse would melt under my kilt and run away

Im getting some weird images in my head here

12.00 and already 41.

Lucky devil, Im soaked to the skin, cold & thoroughly pissed off. If it aint raining its a hurricane force Gale, if its not windy its chucking it down, either which its also cold ! The cats are wet, the dog is wet & Im wet,
