This even more just in - the weather thread
cesium133:
Yeah, I was watching the weather report last night and the weather guy said it was going to be "an epic storm of historic proportions." Dude, it's 18-24 inches of snow. We got that lots of times when I was a kid.
Neko_Ali:
Hah.. I live in Georgia. if we get 1-2 inches of snow people lose their freaking minds. 6 inches is a 'Snowpocalypse'.
War Sparrow:
I hear there will be a storm on the east coast. Stay safe, East Coastians and Maritimers.
Why aren't people on the East Coast of the US not called Maritimers too?

18 inches of snow and counting. It is the most significant snow event in this area since Hurricane Sandy I'm pretty sure. Campus is closed. That's different from classes being cancelled. Campus closed means the dining hall, student union, library etc. are closed. It means stay the fuck home. So naturally I've just come back from sledding down the hill behind the school of music building. I think I may have twisted my ankle.
Tried to build a snowman but the snow is too powdery. There's definitely been worse storms. Just because the snowfall total is going to be higher, maybe 2 feet when all is said and done, doesn't mean this holds a candle to the mountain blizzards with hurricane force winds we've had in the past. When the windchill gets to -30 as it did one day last year maybe we can start panicking.
War Sparrow:
-30F, I assume. So it feels like -60, cause humidity is terrible and hard to adjust to. I moved to a humid climate, and the thermometer says it's warmer, but there is tiny ice shards in your skin. Back home may hit -30 or -40 Celsius on the regular, but at least it's a dry cold.
I'd be more concerned on those winds though. I'm glad that storm isn't as bad as it's been made out to be.
