SNOW!!!!!

Woot. There is obviously some conditioned response in loving snow days, but also there is something just beautiful in snow. The HR guy at work pretty much said that if there was snow on the ground then the office will be closed so I get a snow day and a new president. I am going to make myself some nice warm oatmeal and enjoy this.

Bah. That ain't snow. It's snowed every day this week, and there are piles of the stuff two stories tall in parking lots out here. THAT'S snow. I just wish that I hadn't been chicken and gone to the NERO event they help out here on January 5, in 20 degree weather, when 5 inches of snow was falling. Yep. They still LARPed. Dude.

I like to think that snow, like everything else, is better in moderation. We have a just-right amount here. =)

Hey I would go for some snow Larping. Somehow I doubt all my friends would be on board for that.

Dude, it'd be downright epic :)

I would so go for having a character bury himself in snow to pop out for the ambush. in the movie that plays in my head that would look awesome!

"...and once the snow melted in the spring, we finally found out how he went missing at the LARP. I guess it's better, knowing."

Hush sir. That would be an entirely different kind of film.

Hey, I've done that. Snowball fights with chitterlings at SI were the kind of pure fun that you just can't plot in a LARP.

True. True.

Those with shields had a major advantage.

I did get Gaius at least once by throwing a snowball at the eaves above him. =)

I would totally be up for that! Snow LARPing is the best LARPing... especially at FOD where the Hot Coco is free.

It looks so beautiful outside! I'm just at work until 11 or so, and then I'm rushing home! So exciting, I haven't seen good snow in two years =D

It is nice to feel like a kid every once in a while.

I must say, after seeing your post last night and the news saying that it MIGHT snow, made me think you were a wishful person.

Seeing the snow outside this morning (3 inches) and that it is not supposed to go above freezing, plus it is supposed to snow all day long, makes me think you have connections, my friend.

Well I would love to take credit, but i was following the weather.gov site all day. Now my grandfather on the other hand could change the weather.

Huzzah! Have a good snow day!

And then send some of it down here.

I will see what I can do.

Yeah, we want some too!
