Chuckles about people getting stranded with only a few inches of snow...

Shall I bring up my pictures of the drift in my driveway from last year? The ones where the top of my truck was no longer visible? You know, the truck that was taller than me? And I'm 6'3"...

Ok school just descended into chaos after an announcement from the headmaster about the possibility of school being shut tomorrow.

I can't actually find the one of my standing beside the drift right now. I think it's still on my external hard drive buried at the back of a storage garage. But this one is just a plain snow fall. Nothing unusual, just a little snow.



Or how about a fun little driving vid?

Click for vid

Well, I found one of Tina that she's probably going to kick my *** for showing, but anyways...




Just for info's sake, Tina was standing on approximately a foot of ice/packed snow there that the snowblower just would not go through. The blue arrow is pointing to our mailbox which was about a meter above dry ground. The red arrow is pointing to our trash can which the lovely and wonderful plow truck had struck and tossed it aside about 40-50 feet. It's on the other side of the road from the mailbox, and Tina is about 80 feet closer than the mailbox.

I have claimed a new charger and brought my laptop home just in case. It's been sunny all day here and hardly any of it has melted.

Darrin - THAT'S what I call snow

Everyone here has been told to make arrangements to be able to work from home tomorrow. I think I'll work from home tomorrow regardless.

As has the other half. London appears to be preparing to be shutdown for the next couple of days.

Which is a pain in the arse as I'm off to the IMAX to see Dark Knight tomorrow and Friday is a nice day shopping in London and chasing that up with an evening at a musical and a decent meal.

*crosses fingers*
