i ADORE the snow, don't get me wrong...but I'm sure KappaTarzan and aephi alum will agree that since most of the streets around here weren't really *treated* from the first few trillion times it has snowed this season, this added 12-24 inches is only going to be cause for some seriously poor driving conditions...!

The last time I saw this much snow was back in '96 when we had a snow day on April Fool's Day...i thought that was pretty funny...but this season really takes the cake with the inSANE amount of snowfall. (We haven't *really* had significant snowfall in a couple of years.)

*sigh* I sure wish it would snow here again

Although I'll be making a trip to Missouri in a couple of weeks.. maybe I will get lucky and it will snow there so I can finally make my snow angel and my snowman

We don't have classes on President's Day anyways, but...

It's a blizzard here...the snow wasn't supposed to come until late afternoon/early evening, and already it's crazy outside.

During the "Great Snowball Riot of 1968" (Well, I think it was '68) which happened just before everyone left for break, a bunch of kids rolled HUGE snowballs -- which turned to ice -- and blocked Union Street in front of Baker Center. The Athens Police got the state to send two road graders down the street at a fairly high speed to move the offending spheres. One of the huge ice balls just bounced into -- and totally trashed -- some poor soul's car which was parked in front of the College Green.

OK, it's 10:45pm and we have at least 18 inches of snow on the ground and it's still falling. My driveway was plowed out about an hour ago, and it's snowed under again.

*grrr* I need an SUV... or maybe just a dog sled...

We are buried in about two feet of snow in New York City.

Stay safe and warm everyone.

Ok.. so it's not snowing here in the DFW Metroplex, but hey it feels like a snow day to me!!!

Two of my professors were in the New York area during the weekend and their flights have been cancelled and maybe even delayed for another day or so. Which is really bad, but I have to admit I had a good day. Since those two classes were cancelled, I came back to my place and cleaned up a LOT and studied for my LSAT. woohoo 4 snow!!!

Much better than learning about stats or databases

We weren't supposed to have school anyway today (4 day weekend), so the fact that I can't go anywhere doesn't bother me too much. Rhode Island winters suck.

I'm looking at my warm-weather grad school choices very very carefully. When I hear the forecast for two feet of snow, I think about how nice it would be to be in Texas or Cali right now...
