who doesn't love the white powder flowing from, and to all directions?  the lines of blurred reality drifting through the fogs of feined delight that it's twenty below zero outside.
 
 blowing, growing greater, like some giant james brown anthology.  "gonna beat my wife . . . rudolf guillani style."

  did anyone else here about a foot this weekend?
 
  i love Americans when it snows, everyone turns so damn friendly and excited!  Canadians just complain about it.

Alot of tourists don't complain about it because they come from states that no how to handle the snow.

Considering the President hails from Texas, I doubt they'd have more expertise than say...someone from Massachusetts.  ;)

I like the snow for the same reasons that Travis Bickle likes the rain.

Rugrats are being let out early around the area...
 
 You know, around Thansksgiving they were out overcompensating w/ the salt and the snow was in the south. I saw no one out today. Gonna be nifty driving home.

Yes it's snowing where I am. And no, I'm not excited. I'm stuck here at work. What could possibly be exciting about that?

Snowing here in CP still as of 2:19.  Very excited about it!  I didn't hear a foot of snow for the weekend, but I think 4-5 inches is a good bet.

 We've had pissing rain and winds like you wouldn't believe....would destroy the fuck out of Florida, only we build our houses out of bricks instead of sticks, so the big bad wolf can huff and puff as much has he wants.
 
 They said on the radio that it's -25 celcius in DC today....is that right??? If so, it's God punishing you dumb doodles for putting hee-haw back in the whitehouse for another four.

 Travis Bickle would say that snow is a blessing, not a curse.
 
 BTW, where is the Travis Bickle action figure?
