Its Snowing! (albeit its not settling or anything and its not even November so where all going to die) and following the yearly tradition it is far too dangerous to go to work tomorrow because the roads might be wet

what do you do when it snows? I'm sitting in with a cup of hot coco laughing at all the types still on their way home from work :)

edit: damn my poll typo!

It rarely snows here and when it does it's in January, and it's a huge ice storm more than anything, so then I stay in the house and whine about how much I hate ice storms.

I'm a student. I don't have a job...actually I do, but since it starts at 11 and finishes at 4 , everybody else over the age of 30 is asleep.

Honestly, snow doesn't change my behaviour substantially; I might retreat into comfort food a little, and possibly drink whisky and red wine instead of gin and white wine, but realistically, I shan't change much.

Hooray for snow!

I go outside when it snows and play in the snow. Or make snow-angels. Or even snow-families when there's enough to go 'round. Snowball-fights.

When it snows during the day I also like sitting by the window and simply stare into the snow-filled sky, being mesmerized by the countless snowflakes coming down.

Man, can't wait for a decent winter to come this year!

Wow. I really wouldn't feel safe driving on dry roads where you happen to live if wet roads are dangerous. :tongue:

Me, I go stuff my board in my car and head to the hills. It snowed a tiny bit a few days ago but didn't stay. I may just have to go set up a shrine :hail: to the Gods of Powder, get them to get on the whole snow thing early this year before I get a job (which happens to be why I'm not going to work tomorrow).

oooh do you call up all your relatives/friends/builders and talk about how icy it is? :)

everybody else over the age of 30 is asleep.

so I take it you will be going out tonight in the snow to work :tongue:

so getting pissed is on the agenda? I hereby declare this a winter drinking thread!

I love winter time - to be honest I think I actually like most weather with the exception being sunny hot with no breeze or 'muggy' weather not to mention the fine rain that obliterates your clothing but yeah... what was I saying?..

Right yep - snow, good stuff... but slush - ugh, quite disgusting - hot chocolates are nice to have whilst watching snow fall but then again so is whiskey or rum.

so I take it you will be going out tonight in the snow to work :tongue:

My place of work is also the only decent night club in York; getting barred for non-attendance is hardly a plan of mine.

And yes. DRINK! FECK! ARSE!

I'm not going to work tomorrow because I was given the day off?

I can't tell you how many times my body has been used voluntarily or involuntarily to move snow. :(

also what snow monster shall I unleash on the world?

I may just have to go set up a shrine :hail: to the Gods of Powder, get them to get on the whole snow thing early this year before I get a job (which happens to be why I'm not going to work tomorrow).

aww it just stopped :(

So why aren't you going to work tommorow?

I am going to work tomorrow

I have work tomorrow, but not on Friday. Although I have to go to a walk-athon.:(

I don't think you understand how snow works

well one has to help the elderly of the community at this time of year no?:)

Because I got laid off?

if it snows to the point where the commute to work is even remotely considered dangerous...

I'd be praying... HARD!!! :eek: ;)


Tho I won't be going to work tommorrow... because it's my day off.

I have Saturday off, because it's booked holiday. :)

but I won't be able to find any slugs for eyebrows :confused:

Nah, I need to work tomorrow, I had today off and can't afford to take two extra days off in a week...

I'm always off on Wednesdays...

what do you do when it snows?

All the things I normally do. It snows something like 6 months out of the year where I'm from so it's nothing special.

But I am going to work tomorrow!

And when it snows, I remember I've got all wheel drive, and winter tires for the occasion.

I don't think you understand how snow works


I I know how snow works... and around here nothing less than 2 1/2 feet is enough to cause concern.

*calls your bosses to say you've both caught King Complex*

Teehee!:D

It snowed here last week. I had a fire in the fireplace, made homemade beef soup, watched the tube, drank hot tea and gloried in the fact that, as a retired person, I had no place to go and could sit and watch it come down without having to drive in it, walk in it, or, really, do much of anything in it - I don't even have to shovel it, the HOA does that.

Oh, and I'm not going to work tomorrow because - I don't work!

Oh, and I'm not going to work tomorrow because - I don't work!

Lucky you.:wink:

I don't think you understand how snow works
Snow WORKS? I just see pics of it just lazing around, causing trouble.
:p

I actually ditched my networking class this morning - it's my birthday and I don't want to know how bad my test went.

I'm not going to work as I'm a student. I'm going to be reading tons of textbooks on United Fronts against fascism, so I have no reason to gloat:p

My place of work is also the only decent night club in York; getting barred for non-attendance is hardly a plan of mine.

And yes. DRINK! FECK! ARSE!
I think you're mistaken, Chris. There are no good clubs in York :tongue:

Oh and I'm not going to uni tomorrow because there's nothing on. SIGH.

Hell, I walked to work at 10:30 PM in a blizzard that put 24 inches of snow on the ground, with freezing cold winds that pushed the temperature well below freezing. I got to experience the Russian winter in the United States...

hmm, well, I don't have a job. But I will go to class tomorrow.

What is this "not going to work"?

*Laughs at everyone who have to work*

*Enjoys half term*

i work every day. just not for anybody and not to get paid for it.
i think everyone does.

i mean the only way a life form can be completely disfunctional is to be completely disfunctional, as in being dead.

It doesn't snow in Auckland; so I don't do anything.

Anyways, if it is snowing this early in the year, then something must be wrong.

Aw, that song is so awesome. And yes, I tend to come to think along those lines when I'm snowflake-gazing.
also what snow monster shall I unleash on the world?
How about an ice dragon. I have yet to build one of those.

I don't have a job.

I'm ill. I have a sick note to prove it and everything.

All the things I normally do. It snows something like 6 months out of the year where I'm from so it's nothing special.

Aren't you currently based in the Middle East? That's some screwed up weather patterns maybe Gore was right.

just not for anybody and not to get paid for it.

thats not work then

a weather condition other than rain/overcast in England = doom

Where I'm from and where I live are two entirely different things.

Why bother getting my mother to sign it? I just tell my doctor I want a sick note, he asks how long for and then we start talking rugby.

Yes, yes I am damn university has turned me into a hippie, oh well once I enter the real world things will change.

Where I'm from and where I live are two entirely different things.

Oops, my mistake.

No worries. It's not too long before they become one and the same once again.

A small university town in Michigan.

My work involves me sitting around at home all day. Scoooooooooooooooore.

I sit inside and watch TV. Or sleep. Unless I'm at work. Then I just sleep.

A small university town in Michigan. Spring Arbor? Ann Arbor? Well, Ann Arbor's not really small. I'm originally from Jackson. Currently living in Virginia Beach, VA.

Snow is incredibly rare in this part of California, though it did snow on campus my Freshman year for one day. Normally in the winter we just get lots of really really cold rain. That's what I'm hoping for this year, as last winter was much too dry, so now we're having water trouble.

And I don't have work/school tomorrow. I didn't go to classes today because I'm sick.

A small university town in Michigan.

Now what exactly is a university town? Is it a town where the main source of income is the university and the population is students and the families of the staff?

I telecommute, so technically I'm at work every day of the year.

Spring Arbor? Ann Arbor? Well, Ann Arbor's not really small. I'm originally from Jackson. Currently living in Virginia Beach, VA.

Mt. Pleasant, although I'm currently living near Jahrah, Kuwait.

Now what exactly is a university town? Is it a town where the main source of income is the university and the population is students and the families of the staff?

Basically. For example my town, Mt. Pleasant, has roughly 30,000 year-round non-student inhabitants and around 28,000 students, most of which return to their hometowns in the summer. So as you can surmise the town's economy relies quite heavily on students and the largest single employer is the university itself (followed by the tribal casino)

Is it this Saturday? Surely not, you are starting very early, compared to the SA unis.

Yes I can imagine ok fair enough thanks for that. I suppose the town must seem empty when half the population leaves in the summer, though the peace and quiet must be nice.

Queensland people are just that much more intelligent :)

lol, no we just learn more.

This Saturday and then that is it is it only two week of exams? When did the semester start?

I have one more week of tutes (this week was the last of lectures) and then we have SWOTVAC and then the two weeks of exams start, I have one of the first Tuesday then one one the first Saturday :mad: but then that is it for me.

Oh well Lapse get studying and good luck to you.

It's nice to be able to actually drive on the main roads but the drastically reduced number of females sucks.

No work for me tomorrow. I has a stupid walkathon. I hate politicians.:(

That's the best thing about going out, the stories that you get to share with your mates the next day. Or even the stories that you got up to which you can't remember.

Ah, idle conversation. I love it. :)

It's the best type of conversation.:D

*takes note; ensure that I move into a university town during the non summer months*

It's best to arrive just before school starts. "Welcome Weekend" at most universities is a lot of fun, and much drinking and debauchery occurs.

It certainly is. Why do you think I hang around here? :D

Ah yes, I know all about that, though we call it O-week (orientation) but that is an entire week and the parties morning, noon and night bloody great. I wish I could just come over for the Welcome weekend I just know I would be having a great time.
