forecast update

[mckitterick]

Whoah, we're scheduled to get another

4" - 10" of snow

tonight here in Kansas.

Wow.

Perhaps I'll find a better way to get downtown tonight than drive my beloved Crossfire. Or Li'l Scooter of Death.

EDIT: Sigh, the Big Storm is only hitting far east of here. Too bad for the middle-Missourians, but for us, well, we're missing the fun storminess. In fact it's entirely clear right now (laaaaate Thursday night) in Lawrence.

(Yes, I realize this user-icon is inappropriate, but I don't have a 10" of snow icon.)

Now if only it were 12", then you could get all retro-wrong with this reference using the rapper Snow (complete with totally usable album icon):

Ah, Jamaican tunes to warm the cold world.

It's not snowing here on the west side of town at all.

Where did you find this weather report?

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Wow, micro-climates at work.

NPR is giving me these weather updates. Could be as little as 3" if the storm misses us, or as much as a foot if we get hit in the smack-dab center!

SO JEALOUS!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Heck, all you have to do is drive an hour or so out of town to see heavy weather.

Good lord, man, what will you do for food? You'll be down to pimientos and three of those little jars of mustard that come with Hickory Farms gift boxes.

I just did a quick inventory of my food stores and I find (in addition to the types of things you mention):

• mac'n'cheez
• real pasta and pasta-sauce
• peanut butter
• yogurt
• milk and cereals
• chicken-noodle soup
• frozen meatballs and sausages

So I think I'll survive for at least a few days. Oh, and a huge supply of soda-pop for Game Days™.

Don't forget the rest of the Little Butter Cookies Left Over From Christmas Last Year.

Heh, that's just one of the "other" things as WM suggested. I mean, I do have four bags of a variety of Cheezy Fish Crackers flavors.

Hamsters is good eatin'...

just sayin'

Hey now!

I LIKE snow. I hate snow on top of ice tho' like we just got. I almost busted my butt getting in the car.

...and I just wanna brag that I have an icon for this. Winter x 2 years ago, aaagh!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do have an icon from then, too! But that wasn't as much snow, was it? Tons of ice, though.

[arian1.livejournal.com]

These (snow) boots are made for walkin'...

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

As are my Double-H's. Aw, yeah, ice and snow is fun!

[bellanorth.livejournal.com]

I was so disappointed to see no snow. Not even the minimum forecast for a storm edge. Just the ice that still remains in every single parking lot I use.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Me too! Those lucky bastards east of us got a foot. Us? A trace. Sigh.

[blzblack.livejournal.com]

Wow. We haven't gotten anything yet. We're just north of you. Usually, you guy get freezing rain while we get snow.

Re: icon, just tell people they don't have imagination if they can't see the 10".

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Seems the storm moved at an angle up and to the east, so missed you entirely and us mostly. *sigh*
