Got Snow?

Re: Got Snow?
Hour 4:
Supplies are holding up. About 2 inches have accumulated. On my patio, there's drifts of up to THREE INCHES. I can barely walk out there without having the snow creep over my shoes. Having a cigarette outside is a challenge, due to the wind and the blowing snow hitting me in the face. I almost got cold, it was like a near-death experience. However, I must face those dangers and trudge on. The storm seems to be getting stronger. I may have to use 4WD tomorrow on my way to work.

Re: Got Snow?
Well, if it's any consolation, the cigs I smoke are rather weak (no, not Virginia Slims or anything like that, but a far cry from the Marb Reds I used to smoke).
knock off the cigarettes, though.

Re: Got Snow?
Not unless you start lecturing or hounding.
Otherwise, the anti-smoking bandwagoners are the worst:
ASB: COUGH COUGH. Uh, your cigarette is bothering me!
Me: Yeah, well, it's killing me. Shut the * up.

Re: Got Snow?
I desperately want to apologise to everyone that ever had to be around me when I smoked, just to say sorry for the breath and old ashtray smell on my clothes. I'm not a Nazi about it, but I'll go out of my way to walk around someone who is smoking.
PS in Victoria it will almost certainly be a green Christmas this year

Re: Got Snow?
And on the flipside, chances are I'll smoke less around non-smokers, will not ask for a cig stop on road trips (ask BPH, MEg, and Shirtless, etc on that one), will dispose of butts properly at houses/etc, and will always try and blow smoke away from non-smokers.
And when I was roommates with one of my buddies at his house, whenever we had company that had kids, we always went outside to smoke, period.

Re: Got Snow?
We stopped, what, three times? One meal, one gas, one pee break? That was more than enough. Well, except that whole whiteout thing.
On that trip, I would have welcomed a stop.

Re: Got Snow?
Let the Christmas 2009 Blizzard Drinking Tourney commence.
Schedule:
Wednesday night, 10pm: Plante26 vs. The Bottle
Plante26 would normally be favored in this classic rivalry, but a head cold and a 11 OT game last night may take it's toll. The Bottle will skate a potent line led by career scoring leader Summit, with Bushmills and Tanqueray No. 10 skating on the wings. Between the pipes, Plante26's liver has been a stalwart, but is also suspect due to a shellacking last night/this morning. Jagermeister, the league's career shutout leader, is a wall between the pipes and may be called upon early and often to shut down Plante26's aggressive offense.
Thursday morning, 7:30am: Hangover vs. The Family
This could be the most interesting matchup of the tourney. Hangover, which has a history of letdowns vs. The Family, comes into this game sporting an undefeated record vs. Saturday Mornings. The Family has one of the most physical bluelines in the league, led by tMother-In-Law (45,018 career PIM) and Drunk Conspiracy Theorist Uncle (coming off a 3 month stint in rehab). Look for this to be a chippy game that could get out of control if the referee (Mrs. Plante26's) doesn't keep both teams in check.
Friday afternoon, 2pm: Snowblower vs. Road Plows
This is a game that always ends in a tie. Ariens 10hp, in its sophomore season, will be suiting up for the first time this season. Shovel, playing on a wing with 10 hp Ariens, will be looked to in a minor cleanup role after being the go-to guy going back to October. Meanwhile, The Road Plows head into this tourney much like the Gophers--riding on reputation alone. Coached by Joe M. Unionhack, this team is usually lazy and undisciplined with poor work ethic. With a history of coming through at the last--and worst--possible second, look for the Road Plows to stymie the Snowblower late in the game.
Friday evening, 6pm: The Cousins vs. Random County Bar
This is a tilt that has all of the classic signs of a blowout. The Cousins have won this tourney the last 8 eight in a row, including the Barroom Brawl Game in '04 and the T*t-Grabbing Game of '08. Random County Bar will be rolling two lines: Cletus, Joe Bob and Earl on the top line rotating with Dean-O, Tiny and Binger. Between the pipes for the Random County Bar will be career alcoholic and local crank dealer Easy Edna. The referee/bartender in this matchup is typically competely unaware of the sh*tstorm this game will bring down on the arena. In the last eight meetings, there have been a total of four fighting majors, 16 game disqualifications and two dozen children that have resulted from the annual debauchery. Could this be the year that someone from The Cousins gets a DUI? Stay tuned.....

Re: Got Snow?
Here...currently 60 degrees, which is also expected to be the low. Forecast high of 67 tomorrow. Rain is expected.
Re: Got Snow?
Sucks to be you. I have two scheduled exhibitions with the family:
Friday afternoon: even matchup, probably distracted by my nieces most of the time, laughing at their antics, instead of playing the game.
Sunday noon: tougher matchup, judging aunt and FFL will be going on. I will be conceding this game at 3ish, due to said FFL, and will probably be suspended by the league for doing so. I will thumb my nose and declare that my winnings will make the suspension worth it.

Re: Got Snow?
In Farmington, we're at about 4" as of 10:00. I've shoveled my driveway once already. I have to get to work in the morning, and I don't think the Altima will make it out of the driveway at the +7" we're expected to have by tomorrow morning. I have to drive up to the Mall of America (roughly) in order to park in a ramp, and take the train the rest of the way downtown. At least I've already been told that I have permission to leave work early tomorrow.
