For those not stateside, there's currently a rather large storm moving across the northern half of the eastern US. Last I checked, it was stretching from western South Dakota to New Jersey, from ...

According to weather.com's report, there is lots of ice and slush in the southern parts of the storm, and snow falls up to 12 inches in some areas. High winds too -- gusts up to 45 mph in the midwest. It's supposed to hit my area (near Saratoga, NY) at some point on Sunday and make a general mess of things.

I, for one, am not looking forward to shoveling tomorrow.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=95&Focus=2385#Comment_2385 2007-12-01T21:06:09-08:00 2013-05-22T14:58:55-07:00 Mark Seifert http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=3

From yesterday's newspaper:

" . . . the biggest news Thursday at the National Weather Service offices in Portland was the approaching "monster" Pacific storm that's going to bring potentially damaging winds and widespread flooding to the region Sunday into Monday and Tuesday. The size and scope of the storm -- which has tapped into the energy of typhoons Mitag and Hagibis . . ."

MITAG . . . and HAGIBIS?

Ya know, if you're going to lose a weekend to flooding, wind, and rains, there's at least a kind of comfort in the fact that it sounds like a side-effect of a grudge match between eldritch weather-gods.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=95&Focus=2389#Comment_2389 2007-12-01T21:09:26-08:00 2013-05-22T14:58:55-07:00 Zachary Cole http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=927

It's cold, it's wet. It sticks to the bottom of my pants and shoes when I walk in it, and makes them cold and wet. Shoveling it makes my back hate me, scraping it off my car makes me late for work, and driving in it makes me even more late for work. And after a brief day or two of looking pretty from inside a warm a building, it turns to muddy brown sludge that is STILL cold and wet with all the same pitfalls.

I grew up in Buffalo, NY. People always say to me, "Well you're used to it, aren't you?!" Hell no. I've had enough snow to last me my whole goddamn life.



But I admit, when I walked outside and saw that last year, I just laughed. What else could I do? Mother nature flipped me off and kicked me in the tit with a healthy "Fuck you, snow can kick your ass so much worse, so stop bitching."
