Snowmen

Well, winter has finally seen fit to bestow a couple inches of snow upon me, (and where I live, of course), so this afternoon, I set about making a snowman. This one is about 5'6" or somewheres about 1.6 meters. It sits on a stump in front of my house (the height is without the stump). Getting the base on the stump was somewhat of a challenge, since it was so heavy by the time i was done that I couldn't roll it up the ramp I had made. Somewheres about 50 or more lbs. Now if only it would freeze tonight and ice up the roads i'd get out of having to go to school tomorrow :-)

Lucky you. I forgot what snow looks like already, tho I still remember winters with ca. 1 meter of snow. If itr continues like this, in a decade we''ll go picking flowers on new year's eve.

Well try to enjoy it while it lasts; we don't get no snow here in Melbourne . Still, considering the negative elements of such weather (ie. driving difficulties) perhaps that's not necessarily a bad thing .

Snow is a four-letter word.

Snow means my cousins get off school, but since I live in a city that is "well prepared for the snow" I have to travel across the squeaky clean main roads and glaciers of sidestreets to get to school, which either has no water or no heat, or both.

Snow where I live comes rarely. Since i live in a costal city, the weather is generally very moderate, and boring. If you ever see some, enjoy it while it lasts.

kimk, ouch!

Yea, I have no hopes for snow here on a tropical Island... Oh well, I guess I'll have to deal with 68*F...(19*C?) anyway....

Why does everybody believe that this minor phase of global warming will kill us all? It might just be a scare tactic made by greenpeace so that we use less fossil fuels... I don't know. All I know is that other planets in the solar system are having the same sympotms we are having. Therefore, the planet must be going though a phase. The Ozone is almost fully healed...(last time I heard, but don't quote me on that...)

hasn't snowed in merry ol' London for a while.
The last time it did, they said that we were 'well prepared for snow'......The city ground to a halt

Before ANYBODY asks....
I had my username BEFORE the game even existed. Thank you.

@ Sirius: It's true. People are getting their freaking panties in a knot over a "TWO DEGREE RISE IN ANTARCTICA!!!". Nuts like Greenpeace should face it: winter is still cold. As is the rest of the year (in the frozen wasteland of Canada that is). Bring on global warming, I say.

On that note however people really should start to use fuel cell technology--saving the environment and bankrupting those capitalist CEO bastards simultaneously!

Of course with the rise of fuel cell tech, we will see new CEO ****s come into the picture.

Things will cool back down on earth in about 10 years...

edit why was that word censored? Its not a swear word???
