But it only LOOKS like snow. It's really all nasty, jagged compacted ice. Fuck if I'm leaving the house today! This is the stairwell that goes up to my apartment. The landing at the top is as far as I got today before I turned around and opened up a beer:

If we run out of beer, one of us is going to have to go down to the store and get more.

You'll never make it.....that's suicide!

 

[explodet]

Lemme guess, there's been at least 15 traffic accidents today with the treacherous glacier coating Atlanta?

Be sure to dress warm. I suggest a parka and hiking boots.

Har har, probably more like a hundred. Southerners don't know how to drive in this "ice storm of the century of the week".

 

[Brannon]

Yeah, took it long enough to get some ice. Now it needs to stay for more than a day, and that'd just make me peachy.

 

[mattiewheels]

No, because then I'll crash and burn and die on my delivery job.

 

[Ronin]

This shit fell out of a tree...

...and did this to the gutters.

 

[Fifty]

I hope everyone makes it!

 

[0wn3d]

You're complaining about THAT? Don't ever visit Wisconsin...

:lol you're soooo right, this happens so seldom that when it does the state police don't even have enough smarts to put salt or sand on the bridges the night before.

I swear all it takes is 1" of snow and everything closes down. :lol :lol

END OF THE FUCKING WORLD

Get in the bunker and don't come out until 2050, when the atmosphere has equalized and the lizardmen are ready to welcome you

 

[Ronin]

Dude, I couldn't even open the fucking mailbox!

 

[The Faceless Master]

i guess that far south, something like that could be a reason to call out the national guard... :lol :lol :lol

 

[Lonestar]

my power is out!!

Typing at barnes & noble. To get out of my house this morning I had to chop up and move a friicken Cedar tree. Hard fucking wood. that took 2 hours (no chainsaw)

But IHOP was fucking glorius!

 

[demon]

Wow, that's quite a blizzard you got yerselves, there.

Don't forget your

 

[Lonestar]

WEEE!!! POWER !!!

 

[Ronin]

Fucking shit. My neighbor just came to the door. Forget the gutters, a limb fell on my mom's car. I feel bad for her especially after paying for repairs last week.

 

[Brannon]

In this most disastrous of maladies (yeah, right), I rode with a friend to his house up a hill. His SUV showed its true power as it went all the way up the hill, stopped just before the crest, and slid right back down, spinning 180 degrees toward another car that had a panicking driver try to get out of the way, but couldn't. So we slowly slid into him, then both slid slowly into another car and we all stopped at the bottom. Luckily the small layer of ice protected the vehicles from getting dents.

So we used the SUV for its intended purpose and drove on the unpaved dirt up the hill and made it safely to the top. Cops were laughing it up.

Other than that, an uneventful day. Needs more ice though...

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

boooooo! total weaksauce.... ever heard of the IceStorm in '98?

 

[Lonestar]

yeah, I remember that Icestorm!

HAHA, cops laughing at misfortune!

 

[pestul]

boooooo! total weaksauce.... ever heard of the IceStorm in '98?

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

There we go. Now that's an ice storm!

2 weeks without power really sucked though =(.

Metal Skeleton dinosaurs?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

come back when you've had to deal with sub-zero temperatures, 2-3 feet of snow and 1-2 inches of ice.

UPDATE: Well, we ran out of beer. After my initial posting, I drank four newcastles between about 1 and 3, leisurely like. Then my roommate came home with a 24 pack of shitty coors light. Guess who(by his best count anyhow) drank 15 cans of Coors light in the past 5 hours? That would be me!

I rule! I drool! I pass out in my desk chari!

coors light does not suck. by the way, the hungarians sure have a nice tradition at baby showers. i was at my best friends' wife baby shower today and the tradition in hungary is to have a shot of vodka straight up for teh expectant father. well, he doesn drink but had a shot anyway. i couldnt get enough. unfortunately (for me) i had to tone it down cause it was a "family" gathering. BOOOO!!!!! the rest of the night i was eyeing the smirnoff hopin it would magically come towards me..... it didnt. you may cry for me now.

 

[Triumph]

I will cry for joo... as I pass out in a puddle of my own beer drool.

Coors light has it's uses. It's not something I would seek out to drink, tho.

beer puddles...... that brings back some memories....

Man sometimes I miss Hotlanta. We know how to take advantage of the hint of any snow. I can't wait till I get back.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Didn't go anywhere yesterday. Work was closed, too.

I have to work today from 12-6; still wondering if the store will even be open again. How is it supposed to be today? Still bad?

 

[Lonestar]

It's gonna be cold still, but I "think" the rain has stopped. Might be icy early, but it shouldn't be as "bad"

 

[Diomedeskun]

Thanks to the ice, I was able to stay home and play video games all day (except for a brief interlude of old Mexican comedy shows on DVD) which is something I haven't done much for the past year and a half (since getting a real job).

I've always despised the expression Hotlanta.

 

[Brannon]

Well the ice is starting to melt

But at least nobody broke their legs or anything this year.
