I would be guessing at this point you are no longer dreaming of a "White Christmas" Bob? It looks more like a nightmare.

heh. :)

It's not all bad, had a Penthouse Pet msg me to see if I was ok. :)

We managed to clear a path fromt he front of the house to the garage and started to dig out the Highlander. Still have the rest of the driveway to clear, and we're waiting on the street to be cleared. We're also about to go into a thaw and looking at 2-3 days of flood warnings. yay.

So far about 10,000 people lost power, though most should be ok now. 13 deaths so far. 30+ collapses, mostly flat top buildings, and car ports have a poor showing.


Think it's time to polish my resume and start pounding on doors of tech companies in Austin.

Stay safe and warm, Bob. We're used to the hardships of winter here in Boston, but Buffalo this year is something else. You guys are literally "off the charts."

My opinion on winter hasn't changed since I was in college. I can sum it up with one photo -

In related news, we leave for Florida in a couple of hours.

Bastard. We all hate you really right now.


Sent from an old fashioned 300 baud acoustic modem by whistling into the handset. Really.

So, final tally:
$325 damage to the Prius.
$500 laminate floor in the studio's soaked, and ruined.
$75 Weber grill is toast.
My body feels like I just went 60 minutes with Cactus Jack and Sabu.

Finished digging the car out today, shoveled at least 750 cubic feet of snow. Shoveled, not snowblowed.

So far we've managed to avoid the flooding issues. Just have a little seepage in the basement, a little more than a heavy rain would do. So got off lucky there.

I'm tired, exhausted to be honest. It'll be back in the mid 30's tomorrow, and snow is expected. Yay.

I'm so over this winter thing. lol
