668 - Neighbor of the Beast

Do you like snow? Huh? Do ya do ya do ya?

Rate this Entry
If so, this is the place for you, thanks to one of our historic shellackings!

Long story short, they said this storm would be bad even as early as last weekend. I remember going to my supervisor on work Monday, and asking her on what conditions I should be considered to stay home.

Her response? "I don't see what people are getting all bent up over, nothing's going to happen."

Nothing. Right.



Absolutely nothing.



Not a thing would happen at all.



The snow would certainly not come up to my chest. Nope.



The snow wouldn't even be near half as tall as my 6'3"/190cm height. Not a chance.



There definitely wouldn't be people trying to trudge through an unplowed street. Certainly not.



...Well, shit, they did try. Guess we'd better call in the fucking bulldozers.



After all, they're the only things that could shovel up that shit.



Here's the front porch (or at least, was at the time). We've dug out a bit more since these were taken.



...Did I mention that it's tall enough to make even bulldozers look tiny?



And finally... token doge tax. Because this ain't Imgur and I don't have a cat.



So now, for all of you who love snow, by all means, come here and you can shovel it all you want. I'm done for today.

    Oh yeah, you're in Buffalo, aren't you? Maybe they'll rename it "The City That Most Definitely Isn't Affected by Global Warming."

    Actually, global warming can make it worse, because it's the fact that the lake isn't freezing over that's dumping this all on us.

    That's crazy, everything shuts down here if we get an inch of snow.

    Yes, that is sort of the point of having an ironic title.

    Well, no. It's not the cold that's the issue, it's the lake not freezing that's the issue.

    That's why unless global warming reaches like... several dozen degrees warmer, it won't do shit about our city dealing with snow.

    You should try exporting the snow to countries in need.

    The irony is, we're going to get another 1-2 feet on top of this in the next 24 hours.

    I've had school (and thus, work) cancelled on me for three days in a row now.

    Tell your professor that as he is Canadian, his opinion is meaningless.

    Or better yet, to go fuck up Russia and get them to take some of this arctic cold back. This is America; Siberia's thataway.

    Oh wow, I heard it was bad but seeing it is still surprising. Especially since where I live we've never had to close school or college because of the snow. You have my condolences

    ....darples please be wary of roofs caving in under the weight of the snow.

    That would suck.
