Whereas, in Boston, we are all just like, Oh, what, another 4-8 inches of snow? Must be Tuesday.
Unless we are plow guys on a city contract, in which case we are like, Snow overnight? Triple overtime! Yesss!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I freely admit that people have been overreacting to the snow this entire winter.
DC's forecast is down to 3-6. But YSnowMV.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I just found a forecast thing of 4-7 inches by morning. It's been snowing for 2 hours, and isn't sticking yet. I'm just saying, I think it'll still be safe to travel this evening.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We're supposed to get 1/2" here. I feel left out.

What was funny was that this morning, there was salt EVERYWHERE on the roads. Piles gathering in the gutters. Huge salt trucks idling right off main roads.
And this was nearly 2 hours before it started snowing. The roads were dry.
Of course, I'll bet they don't get around to plowing (or they wait until it is over sometimes, ) so I expect to be driving home on slightly slushy packed snow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The butt bow was about a foot south of the butt.
That makes it sound like a satin dingleberry.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Satin dingleberry, that's good.
eta: I just realized that I currently have no photo ID. So currently I can't fly.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
As much as I would love a snow day, I see no reason to expect one.
public service announcement: when you get invites, RSVP. I have one RSVP (a no) for an event on Wednesday. Almost 50 invites were sent. Phone Number as well as email address were provided. My day is calling and emailing follow ups.

Oh man, you totally just shamed me into RSVPing to my friend's shower next weekend. I mean, they know I'm coming, but I hadn't actually called myself. Am I a grownup or not? So I called.

We're supposed to get 1/2" here. I feel left out.
I have a cousin who lives on the other side of the lake in Michiana, and they're supposed to get hit hard (up to 16" in the next few days). Of course, they grew up outside of South Bend, so they're used to it.
