Snowing?
Man, I love laughing at how things get shut down at the coast when it snows. We have about a foot of snow herein PG, and it's -20ºC, and it's just business as usual. Oh well, a foot of powder is sweet, and I think we will get more soon.

"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.
"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

Snow is okay. I discovered today that I had no form of good shoes for snow, but ignored it and went to Beacon Hill with Kara anyways. xD I complained about my feet SO MUCH, and then when it was all over I was like '...I had fun. Let's do that again tomorrow.'
If we ended up getting no school tomorrow because of snow, it'd be heavenly. However, I doubt that. Never happened to me in Victoria before...That's one of the few things I miss about Washington. If there's even a single snowflake on the ground, people are like 'The roads are dangerous! CLOSE THE SCHOOLS!'

A storm is coming, Frank says
A storm that will swallow the children
And I will deliver them from the kingdom of pain
I will deliver the children back the their doorsteps
And send the monsters back to the underground

the rcmp has issued a for-fuck-sakes-please-don't-drive-it's-snowy-won't-somebody-please-think-of-the-children warning so it's possible that schools will be closed.

When I was very little, I lived way up north in a town called Mackenzie, where we were so tough that we walked to school in -40ºC weather. It wasn't that far, so it wasn't too bad. Then I moved south to an undisclosed location, and discovered that the schools were effectively closed at -32º, because that was the temperature that the school busses stopped running at. My first thought upon making this discovery was "Man, these guys are pansies". This is now my standard response to folk who cannot handle winter.

It hasn't started to melt. It's snowing harder all through Oak Bay. I'm banking on the college being closed tomorrow, because I haven't done any of my math homework and somehow I'm getting sick again.

Heh...I did that to my roommates this morning, too!
I'm feeling very Canadian right now. So this is what it's like, eh?

The lack of busses tends to shut down Victoria.
I measured a little over 200mm of snow in my backyard. I think it is more than we have had since the great storm of 96. Before any one complains "it is only 200mm" let me remind you that this is the wet, heavy, west coast snow. And the roads contain a good amount of slush. Which will freeze as it is getting colder.

We are all made of star dust. However we are also made of nuclear waste.
Remember to think before you post.

Probably because your immune system is weakened
We got a Snow Day today!

Due to all the unexpected snow 'round these parts, my Shaw Highspeed Internet connection has died.
Fortunatly, I have emergency backup dial up Internet.
Unfortunatly, my beautiful new iMac doesn't have a modem (something about no one needing them anymore).
Fortunatly, I have an iBook laptop from back when they DID include an internal modem
Unfortunatly, the iBook has a very small screen, the small keyboard is hard to type on with just my left hand (see Gibbstation 3 LRRcast), and all my work files are on the iMac
Fortunatly, the iBook can share its Internet connection over Airport.
End result: I am posting this from my iMac which is connected to the iBook which is connected to the Internet via dial-up to my friendly neighbourhood ISP (Islandnet).
Yay technology!
