I can safely say that I don't think I've ever seen the weather in MA as nasty as it is now

[DS1]

Windy as all hell, cold as a motha, and lots of sleet/ice in the air.

There's no breakfast in the world worthy of going outside and getting it.

1. I hear ya...

I woke up to horizontal snow, which became pelting ice daggers, and it now somewhere btwn sleet/rain. Cars are moving slooooow out there. We're staying put for the duration, did the grocery shopping yesterday.

Stay warm! :hi:

2. Do ya have no food in your place?

[DS1]

5. I've got a steak and some pasta and some rice

and a half jar of curry sauce.

There's options.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Well, ther ya go then. :^)

[Sugar Smack]

3. We had rain for about 15 minutes yesterday

for the first time in weeks. And weeks ago, for the first time in months. :tinfoilhat:

[LaurenG]

4. Just go upstairs

and have your mother make you some.





























:hide: I know, not true, but that was sort of funny though :scared:

[rockymountaindem]

7. This ain't nothing

I'm in Boston now and I have to say I'm really disappointed in the attitude displayed by you Bostonians. I assure you it's waaaaay worse in Toronto and they don't act like it's the apocalypse every time there's snow. The weather channels says the wind chill is 22. Try not seeing temps above -20 for two months! And in Colorado, when it gets cold, it gets really cold because it's windy and it's always dry. Do we complain? NO! (well, maybe some of the transplants, but not the natives). Why? 'Cause we're oxygen deprived and we think it's normal, that's why.

You Boston peeps don't realize how good you have it. I'm going out later just because it's so damn nice out.

[fizzgig]

8. we're oxygen deprived and think it's normal

:rofl:

it's true

[rockymountaindem]

9. Colorado born and raised,

and I've got the twisted internal thermostat and brown teeth to prove it!

[fizzgig]

12. same here

well...everything but the teeth

[rockymountaindem]

16. That dude in your sigline has some nice chompers

He got fluoride stains?

[fizzgig]

18. i don't generally get close enough to look

i want to keep my hands

[hisownpetard]

11. Show-off!

[sniffa]

25. I blame global warming

we've been spoiled for years. i remember partying on some guy's porch for New Year's Eve wearing shorts and a t-shirt. we've just forgotten how bad it used to be.

[hisownpetard]

10. It's wicked wicked out there! My kids are supposed to be flying in tonight from L.A.

arriving late at night, and I'm really worried about the weather conditions - not just the
flying conditions, but also me having to drive to pick them up at 11 PM. Have you heard
any weather reports about later in the day?

[DS1]

14. rockymountaindem is near Logan

perhaps he can put them on his back and walk them to your house in the snow, uphill both ways

[rockymountaindem]

15. Can you walk through the Williams tunnel?

If not I'm afraid that won't be practical.

[DS1]

17. not man enough for a quick swim?

*pfft*

[rockymountaindem]

19. Colorado is a landlocked state

Swimming ain't my forté.

[hisownpetard]

21. Hey - DS1 says you live near Logan. My kids are supposed to be

flying in tonight from CA. Any chance of that really happening, given the wind
and the sleet in the air? I've been trying to call the airport but keep getting
a busy signal. Do you have any insider information?

:shrug: :hi:

[rockymountaindem]

24. The snow has switched to rain

and everything is just unholy slush. I just got back from studying in a coffee shop, and it's quite messy there. I don't know about flying, but I'd bet the ceiling is pretty low. I figure they can probably get in though. It's not freezing and there's no wind. Tonight if the temps go down that could be another story though. It was really windy this morning. Right now it's neither here nor there.

[hisownpetard]

29. Thanks for the input. I just hope my kids wind up here, and not there!

[hisownpetard]

20. It's so nice of you to offer his services. I'll take you up on that - but will he be able

to handle their luggage as well? I don't want to get gypped here, ya know.

[trof]

13. Get all that crap cleared out by Wednesday, OK?

That's when we get to Boston.
I hope.

[graywarrior]

22. OMG, the Blizzard of '78 was a killer!

[poisonivy]

23. Oh man do I remember that one

It shut down Ohio, my dad was working at a steel mill and they told them to go home as soon as they got there, it was that bad!!

[sniffa]

26. welcome to DU

your first post was about the Blizzard of '78 - that makes you a Blizzard Baby. :hi:

[poisonivy]

30. Ty

from what I have heard, they are saying that this winter may produce another blizzard such as the one from 78
Man I hope NOT because obviously I now drive and work and I damn sure dont want to drive in something like that. The blizzard we had here last year was bad enough and that wasnt even close to the 78 benchmark.

Just got back from running to the store (forgot trashbags and paper towels)and the side roads are a slushy, icy mess the main roads are not TOO bad.

[DS1]

27. actually it's not nearly as bad as I'd thought

It's actually rather warm, but my weather thingy had said 18

[matcom]

28. p*ssy

:rofl:
