It was 5 degrees the other day and I had one of the best ski days of my life. I was doing 60 mile per hour runs all day long on double black trails. Snow was fast and gave great confidence to carve and turn on edges. Sorry but I'm hoping for an unexpected ice age to settle in.

Get off the groomers!
 
Is it wrong that I'm excited about it getting above freezing by the weekend? Seriously, fuck this winter.

Are you saying this is the weather near that volcano in Iceland?

Just wait...there's more heading your way. It's been raining like a motherfucker here all day...this storm should be in your area within a couple of days...only with snow for you.




WHY would you let your kid dictate to you where you live?

I understand trying to work with the kid...but sometimes you have to do what you have to do...and the kid has to live with it...like it or no t.

WHY wouldn't I give him a say in his own life?
 
You know how you run out to the porch with a shotgun and racoons scatter?

I say you do just that, but point the shotgun towards the clouds. If they don't flich, fire away.

That'll show that cold weather to over stay it's visit from Canada,... damn Canadian weather. And, worst of all, we are allowing MORE cold Canadian weather into America, by allowing another bridge!!

Thanks Obama.

As long as no one is watching, lets invade Canada. We can say we are just protecting all the Americans living there. Then when the world reacts, we set our terms:

Take Bieber back and we can be friends again. If not, we make the hat into a parking lot for New York City.

I'm over it.

It's March. The temp is the highest it's going to be for a week and you you know what that temp is? 11. Eleven freaking degrees.

I want to see the sun. I want to see grass. Do birds still exist or did they all freeze to death? I'd like to see one if they are still around.

Queue up Jimmy Buffet and tell the freezer to watch it's back.

Same here. What the fuck. Michigan got 6 in of snow when I was there over the weekend.

<- Will be in the south of France starting Monday. This bullshit Canadian air can suck it.

I'm getting there.


- Go on business trip to Nevada. 70°F weather.
- Come home. 35°. Furnace blower is broken. Call landlord.
- Repairman loans me 4 space heaters, and replaces the blower the next day.
- After I turned on the furnace, which it seems was not done after the blower was replaced, I find that one of the burners is not working properly, making a repetitive sputtering noise that resonates through the building's ventilation ducts, sounding like a purring tiger, except it has a severe bronchial infection.
- Today, now a few days later, I smell a bit of gas after getting home. Furnace gets turned off. Landlord says the heat exchanger is cracked, and it should be replaced tomorrow.
- Local stores are sold out of space heaters because it's goddamn springtime outside, so they've flushed out their winter inventory. I'm now treated to the beautiful sounds of frozen birds dangling from trees like wind chimes, and the lovely seasonal aroma of mummified plants buried deep beneath the snow.
- It is 2°F outside, and is expected to drop to -5 tonight.
- I have 3000W of space heater at my disposal, some electric lights, and Prime95.



To any gods of winter out there, I wish you a fiery death, not out of pure malice, but mainly in the hopes that your burning corpses may heat my house.

We're only a little bit past half way, there's still lots of winter left, and if it's like last year, there is tons more snow on the way too.

Don't get your hopes up if it starts melting either, unless it's June.

-27 outside with a windchill of -34. Suppose to go to -40.

But yeah, summer would be nice. The only downside of summer is it goes by so fast, if you blink it's gone, then it's winter again. It's better looking forward to summer than to live the reality that it's almost over. 😀

My parents live in the UP of Michigan. Not sure what everyone down here in the lower peninsula is whining about. They have like 3 more months of winter left up there.

And these national snowfall totals are such a joke.

2013-2014 Snowfall - 275" with 53" on the ground through 2/28/14

FYI: In late Feb GR was the third snowiest city in the US behind Erie and Buffalo and ahead of Syracuse. Rochester was next followed by Ann Arbor and Detroit. Michigan has gotten pummeled this year. As of Saturday morning it was the second snowiest winter ever for Detroit Metro Area with 79.2" of snow with the record being 93.6" in 1880. Then we got another 3-4" Saturday night and we have the rest of March to go.

For reference the average for this area is 27"

Look at January 03/04 😛

Everytime I talk to someone up there they have either been out shoveling or snowblowing, or are going out to shovel and snowblow some more 😀
