More snow!
« on: October 30, 2006, 08:56:46 pm »
So we are having a heck of a snow storm right now in Winnipeg... I was tuned to Winnipeg Tower (which I do quite regularly) and they were talking about 5 inches drifting snow, crosswinds, and all that crap. My dad saw two accidents happen on his way home from work today.  :o

Lucky! (well, not for the damage caused, but you know what I mean.)  We don't get much snow here in Northern Virginia.  5-7 inches is considered a servere storm and we usually only get 2 of those.

No snow here yet, some rainy days but it's been strangely warm these last few days.

It's too bad we have a foot of snow now, it makes it really difficult for the kiddies to go Hallowe'en'ing.. :(

Aww... No snow here yet. :(
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Tomorrow I go shopping!

I can't wait for us to get a good deal of snow. Driving in it will be fun! :)
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Maybe some of your family does.  It's not always about you.  :-*

Shopping for some things is awesome.  Like cars.  And video games.  And comics.  And other such manly things.  O, and badass T-shirts (which usually are bought from someplace like http://www.roosterteethstore.com/ anyway).

I'm baffled at this counter-argument.  If you were, you do, of course, realize I'm excited about getting free candy.  We only had like 10 trick or treaters, so I got to keep a whole bag of candy. :D

There's no doubt getting that stuff is cool, but to get excited about going to a store............  :-\

I disagree.  Buying stuff like that is fine, but going "shopping" for it isn't.

Really?  I love going to Barnes & Noble or Gamestop just to browse.  I've found a lot of good stuff that way!

That's fine, I browse at bookstores and such too.  You just aren't allowed to call it shopping if you're a guy.

I don't, unless I'm talking about the broad spectrum (IE going to many different places to buy/browse for various stuff during the same outting), and even then I usually call it "I'm going out".  Whatever.  I should start Night Watch....
