Wild weather

[icepixie]

Crazy weather today. We had a thunderstorm roll through this evening; nothing to get excited about, can't hold a candle to the tornado-spawners of spring and summer, but it's relatively uncommon to hear thunder in winter, let's say.

And apparently everyone north of Kentuckyish is getting more snow than they can deal with. Poor, poor people living on the eastern edge of Lake Ontario. If you go [insert your favorite news site here], they've got pictures of snow up to the second stories of people's houses, and little mini-canyons of snow where the sidewalks and streets have been shoveled. I think CNN was reporting recently that one town has recorded twelve feet of snow this week.

...I could never live there. I would kill myself. I assure you I am not joking. I didn't do so well freshman year, when the two feet we had hung around for months on end. Twelve feet would drive me insane.

Whoa, I'm kinda glad I'm not home right now. I've looked online and they're saying only a foot or so, but that's much more than the few inches we have here.

The little towns that got twelve feet of snow (a New York State record!) are about two hours east of my house. We were actually kind of jealous of them, because for several weeks, we never had more than one or two inches of snow on the ground at once.

Then this big Valentine's Day storm came in, and we got a foot and a half of snow, and now suddenly I feel sorry for our neighbors to the east. Twelve feet! That's taller than four stacked hobbits.

Haha. The snow is up to my thighs right now, but 40 minutes north of here they have 6-7 feet on the ground. Loco.
