(North-)East Coast USA Snow Storm Thread

[Wiregeek]

In all seriousness, I'm trying very very hard to keep a respectful tone in my text on this thread. A 'minor' snow inclusion by my standards is still enough to be crippling to people who aren't prepared for it. For example, I present the boss, who has narrowly avoided spraining his back (just think about it. Localized soreness = strained muscle. It's a very short step from there to permanent skeletomuscular damage)

But, on the flipside...

I just taught the neighbor how to make a snowman. He was trying to rake up snow with a gardening hoe - they don't have snow shovels here.

Then, I taught a neighbor girl who was watching us, down the street in her front yard. She was bored because there was no school and the highways were closed earlier. As she said: "In all my 12 years, Ah've only seen snow twice, and this is the firs' time ah have ever made a snowman!"

My next door neighbor's snowman fell apart, and the top two balls shattered when they fell off, so on my way back to the house, I remade his snowman. Then, rolled a flat disk of snow and a cylinder to give it a top hat.
