Question of the Day, Mar 13
Well, the next latest and greatest storm of the century is about to hit the northeast tonight. What do you do on a snow day?
That depends; if my g/f is at my house, I can explain how 5 min is utilized.
Did you hear about the snowman who dropped his pants? He heard there was a snowblower coming.
What’s the difference between snowmen and snowwomen?
Snowballs.
Frosty the Snowman said hooray,
I’m agog with joy today!
The reason of course,
A reliable source,
Said the snowblower’s headed this way!
koko, we know; 4 minutes getting undressed, 30 seconds of sex, another 30 seconds feeling guilty cause you know she didn’t have an epiphany.
I live in central Pennsylvania, in the same town as Penn State University and their 40,000 students and their 16,000 faculty and staff. For this killer blizzard I’ll just stay home all day, and watch neighborhood kids play in the snow — as I’m sure school will be cancelled. This snow will all be dealt with in a day or two, so it’s no big deal to me. I was at the local large supermarket at about 2PM this afternoon, and it was jammed with people buying everything in sight and freaking out about the coming storm. I’m somewhat of a prepper, so this storm, like any other, is no big deal or concern to me.
Ah… State College – got my MS Comp Sci in 69-71.
Ah State College

you were just getting the milk and the bread, right?
Being almost 68 – don’t feel much like chasing the old lady around the house any more.
I like to cook. You can get the fixin’s for spaghetti sauce, make a stock or brown sauce, maybe make fresh pasta.
My wife and I just made 8 quarts of potato-corn-chowder. Super easy to make; filling, and always a big crowd favorite here.
And since we live in a condominium, I don’t ever have to touch a snow shovel at all — although I do have a big floor broom to sweep the snow off of our parked car.
Recipe, please.
well, at least she gets to eat 🙂
At that age you’ve shrunk enough to fit into her dresses. The neighbors think your her sister. Then one day you go to Walmarts in full drag and wonder why your suddenly so popular. Who cares? Her bras fit your man-boobs perfectly and they are so comfortable. Still, you draw the line at carrying a purse.
Once was bad enough, but for cryin’ out loud EC, the word is you’re, not your…….damn…at least you fouled the last one off…
I’ve pointed out before that the same “your” vs “you’re” error continually occurs in both the EC and Billah’s Wife posts. It could be a coincidence. Or maybe they’re both slow at learnin’.
And where is Billah’s Wife?? Everybody’s missing her.
Hunker down.
Shovel.
For most TBPers, they won’t even notice it’s snowing.

Unless the power goes out.
Admin, Stucky was bragging about his rig. Mine is a computer desk I rescued off the sidewalk. I have a cheap Chinese out door chair that swivels and rocks. I like that is is open and does not give much weight to the corner of the room. It would unbalance the rest of the furniture in the family room and piss me off. I don’t drink or smoke here, but I do have a diet coke on hand at times. Other than that, the picture above might be me.
El Coyote, I both drink and smoke. Why? One reason is because people told me not to! (Do these people really think teens listen to their “don’t do this” public service announcements? Teens laugh at them, as I did as a teen.)
Yes, I’m a Christian, but Jesus drank wine, not grape juice. And smoking wasn’t around in his time. As long as I don’t do it in excess, I figure I’m OK. But I smoke organic cigarettes I roll myself with no chemicals or fillers. (By the way, why are 4,000 chemicals, including MSG, approved to be added to store-bought cigarettes? I think that causes more problems than the actual tobacco.)
And, no, I don’t expect anybody to pay for my health care but me, in case you think you’ll end up with any bills on my behalf.
PANIC!!!!!

Rest up for the six to eight hour ordeal of shovelling/plowing to come once it quits snowing. That and practice waving and smiling at the township guys as they gleefully plow shut the two neighbors and my own drives I just cleared. If you don’t wave, the next pass thru takes the mailbox.

Oooooh, its going to hurt – but I have a Snowthrower.
Don’t know but if it ever snows in Florida, I’ll let you know.
We make sure we have lots of wood by the fire and large quantities of vodka. peppermint schnapps and hot cocoa. Then we spend the day relaxing looking through all our seed catalogs, and garden books, dreaming of spring. However since we had no winter this year we feel deprived.
I’m in South Carolina. Half of us love to get snow because it’s so unusual, including me, the other half, like my mother, can’t stand it.
First we look at it in wonder. Nobody seems able to drive well, unless they’re originally from the North, but still fun. The super markets are jam-packed two days before the expected couple of inches of snowflakes arrive and are cleaned out.
When it arrives, we make Snow Ice Cream out of the fresh snow with milk, sugar and vanilla. We follow that with hot cocoa. Then we traipse around for a few hours before it melts. You’re lucky if it lasts the whole day here.
“Well, the next latest and greatest storm of the century is about to hit the northeast tonight.”
Let’s hope so!
Looking forward to Cali-East being buried… forever!
jackson, are you THE jackson?
Sorry to break it to many of you, but it’s sunny at 70 here. Maybe go for a bike ride or a swim.

No more snow days unless they lose electricity.

High 80s here. Looks like I have to get in the pool with a nice cold drink again tonight. Damn, that is growing old.
I’m in Dallas now and it’s a bit chilly today. According to teh iphone, it’s 65F outside.
I lived in a house in Manchester by the Sea (no kidding), MA (pronounced ma), in ’78.

So, what do I do now on a snowy day?
Thank God I’m not there.
I am a child survivor of the “Blizzard OF 78”,ok,honestly,a younger teen survivor!
I remember it well. I was a freshman at MIT. The roads were closed to traffic for about a week and classes were cancelled.
Gotta work regardless but a least I’m just 10 mins away from my hospital plus I only have 4 patients tomorrow–wife’s an RN at GW University hospital so she’s got an hour drive into the city in good weather daily. They are putting up a lot of the nurses/staff overnight in hotels downtown so she is going in later tonight.
I used to work at a hospital in O.R. registration in the past and they made 4-wheel drives available to pick up any staff if it snowed. No excuses for not being there. But the person who was supposed to relieve me was always the one that couldn’t get there, and I always ended up waiting hours until they arrived.
PS: just noticed the little red debt counter on the right broke the 20 trillion mark–and they said we’d never make it!
Wonder if we can do 30T before the Levy Breaks ( cue the Zeppelin)
Cue Zeppelin? Where’s the video?
I’ll help you out. This is the only live video I could find. It’s a later one with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.
Park the truck nearer to the road & bring in a handtruck or 2 of wood. Not much else changes. If the power goes out it takes a bit longer to make meals & coffee. If there’s more than a few inches I may shovel a path to the mailbox & the ends of the driveway after the plow comes through the 2nd or 3rd day. Most snow is usually gone in a day or two. I sure am glad the Poconos are a distant memory. Low 40s & it just started sleeting lightly here & will only be wet tomorrow.
Occasionally throw wood on fire if power out/shovel walk and car/waste time on net till power down/fire jenny for essentials which does not include the net!
Go to f%^&ing work as nobody provides us with snow days, but always fun to visit the grocery store and scream that the beer is gone. (Liquid bread)
I know what could be fun,perhaps we could spend some down time to finally find “Waldo”.
Build a giant snow male anatomical part down on the corner if it is good packing snow.
This is a perfect opportunity to organize a massive march against global warming.
Watch the weather channel and say,” better those poor suckers then me.”Then go back outside and mow the lawn.
Gotta snowblow a path for the Corgi. When I open the garage door and he sees the 3 foot drifts he looks at me like its all my fault. The Shepherds on the other hand love the shit. I home NYC gets buried and shut down tho. Wood stove stoked, snowblower pre-run. check.
I work on snow days.
Well,at least a couple days of work a year better then nothing!
Suit up, shovel, sled with my boy, shovel some more, snowball fight, come inside to a fire, make some chili watch a movie and take a nap.
In other words, it’ll be a great day.

Go to the beach on my harley and look at your daughters on their surf boards while I eat a great shrimp lunch.
Watch the TV (TammyVision) and read alt-right blogs.
