Damn, what a joy to wake up to. Yesterday it was extremely windy all day. Gusts of 40+ mph. It snowed most of the day but it was so windy that you couldn't tell it was really coming down. They had forecast from early in the day of a blizzard with 8-12+ inches of snow by this morning and extremely windy. Newspaper article
Sure enough... There was even thunder and lightning around 10:30pm. How the hell is that possible when it is snowing and 15° F out??
I knew last night that two of my classes were cancelled since the prof was stuck in Detroit due to weather. That left one today that I didn't really plan to go to anyway, but turns out when I wake up nice and late after 12pm, I find out MTU has cancelled anyway!
First time in 3 years that the weather has been anywhere near bad enough to close Michigan Tech.
So rather than dig out my car, do the 100 things of homework, projects, reports, coding, etc that I need to do, as well as get to Walmart and buy some food, I thought I'd take a few pictures and share them with you all.
edit: Pics turned out kind of dark. My camera didn't see the need for a flash, but I guess I should've forced it.
Looking down from our doorway to the steps
Another view - those are like 4 steps under that drift
In 30 minutes I might be able to get my car out, IF there was any room for more snow
You can almost make out my tires - thanks a lot wind
My roommates never shovel, and this time they did except they quit halfway through so these are our new steps
Another view of the drifted snow covering my tires
Though maybe I shouldn't complain, the people across the street seem to have it worse
Now I think I need to get started on all this stuff. It's weird, my 3rd floor room has been ridiculously cold the past two days. Normally it is the warmest in the house, obviously. At about 1pm when I turned on my computer, the case temp was reported at 50° F! So my room was about that.
