Official Winter 2011 New Englanders Bitch About Weather Thread

I have a 3 bedroom house with a garage to move.

That is one huge reason I dread ever moving out of this place. Between me and three kids, I have SO MUCH STUFF.

[Suu]

I probably wouldn't bitch so much if I wasn't on the 3rd floor of a 6 family moving to the 2nd floor of a 3 family up spiral staircases that are about 2-3' wide at the most. 

Fucking New England.

MY CLOUDS ARE CONSTIPATED

I'm sorry about your tornado's penis.

I'm sorry about your tornado's penis.

I almost on my new laptop. Thanks, Cain.

16 inches of snow on Halloween is not normal for this region. The real problem was wet, heavy snow on trees that still had their leaves. It sounded like popcorn out there, and I didn't see a single road that didn't have branches (or whole trees) on the lines. A few nearby gas stations finally opened up today, so yippee.

I am pleased to be returning to a place that was able to hold together its illusion of being first-world. Hot showers and clean laundry are really quite lovely things.

Providence got next to nothing, thanks to the protective bubble that radiates off of Narragansett Bay.

However, I went up to Attleboro last night and saw kids trick or treating in 2", and trees down everywhere. That's just 13 miles to the North.

It's 16F/8.8C outside.

Not a cloud in the sky.

Us Providencians like to call this phenomenon, "Ineffective Sunshine."




It's my favorite kind of winter weather. Why? Because it hasn't precipitated, and therefore, we have no nasty effects of precipitation.

[AFK]

It's been a weird winter so far.  Hardly any snow save for one, somewhat inconvenient, storm right before Thanksgiving.  It's supposed to get back up in the 40s sometime this week.  No snow in sight for Xmas.  I for one will not complain about this.  Whether it's linked to Global Climate Change or not, I'm cool with a winter without snow.  Or minimal snow. 

[Suu]

It's going to be one of those dry and cold years that we get every so often, and after last year, I say we deserve it. Providence isn't supposed to get a foot a week. It's suppose to freezing rain every other day, then jump from the 30s to the 60s randomly for 3 months until everyone has pneumonia.

I'm okay with this. LET it be 16 with a chance to frostbite 10 minutes. As long as there is no snow, ice, or wind, I'm perfectly happy.

[Luna]

  It is a week before Christmas.  There is no snow.

Fuck it.

Cancel Christmas.

I want at least two to four inches of snow, STAT.  It doesn't count as Christmas unless there's snow.

Waffle Iron, get on it.

[East Coast Hustle]

It's 78 degrees and sunny with a light offshore breeze. The water temperature is 82.

Wait, am I in the wrong thread?

I...  Okay.  I'd take that, instead.

We have "fuck, it's cold, but just warm enough that you get rain" going.

No we don't. It's below freezing. That will get us snow last I checked, you know, science. Actually, right now, it's too cold to snow.

I'll be there tomorrow. What's on tap?  


11:00am departure to Tampa tomorrow, bitches.
