"Snowed in" & bored (pic).
 

I'm looking for some coding to do today as it's boring as hell being "snowed in" here in Austin.

Everything is closed here today due to the "horrible" weather. See?

That was taken 5 mins ago (Noon CST) outside the window. It's a terrible one! haha

Anyone have a PHP job to do today? I want something to do.

Wow! How could you ever leave the house with so much snow?!

kevinale where on gods GREEN earth do you live???
Shit bud come to Canada for some nasty weather :thumbsup

Haha..

It's Austin, Texas... All the schools have closed. Even the University (UT Austin).

To be fair though, Austin isn't prepared for these kinds of things. Many of the roads are iced up and we don't have in place the resoucres to salt/sand the roads.

All the newscasters were saying on the tube this morning. "DO NOT GO OUT TODAY UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY."

Ive seen that complex!

Im trying very very hard not to go out and build a little snowman on the steps of my building.

Greetigns fellow Austinite! for those that dont know us texans, we dont deal well with snow! :-) And, yes, that picture is the whole entire town snowed in. All the schools closed. Most of the businesses. Yep, just a little freezing rain, we all run for the hills!

You should see the shit we drive in, salt doesn't do shit

Haha.. Yeah it's off Justin Road (Justin and Lamar). It's not my place, I'm at my girlfriend's and it's just too cold to leave so I'm staying over and being a loaf.

Good to see there are Austinites roaming the boards.

LOL Just for curiosity how many inches of snow do you have there in Austin?

5mm

i miss texas.

You should come to my place.. some places I have 11 foot snow drifts in the front... :P

You know, I've travelled a lot but never have really seen a good snowing. Well I used to live in Seattle a couple years and I had one really good snow -- well the kind a southern boy dreams of.

About a foot came overnight. I know that's nothing to you experienced weirdos up north. haha.

I cannot fathom 11ft of snow anywhere.

Try living in New York, we just got about 2 feet of snow with another foot coming on friday.... and there still is WORK .. shit..

I need to make is it big time in this adult game so I can quit my job.

One.
Rpet

I haven't seen that little snow since like november or so. :)

LMAO :) Well I can understand that you guys aren't used to it.
In Ottawa/Quebec it's -15.9°C *sunny*, Wind: W at 17 km/h , and tonight it's suppose to go to : Low: -27°C *dress warm guys*

You're lucky were you are kevinale ;)

LOL

Here in Dallas we have 3 inches of solid ice on the streets. Its not suppossed to get above freezing, and its snowing again tonight. Nobody, I mean nobody is going out :Graucho It makes us Texans look like a bunch of pussys!! You guys up north try living in 110 temp over 30 days in a row ;)

Now imagine snowblowing that much snow off of an 800 foot driveway in -37 celcius hehehe. Not that cold now but it was yesterday. You want snow, come see me, you can have it all :P

We'll have to talk sometime... =) I'm over in SA, its all nasty here as well. :|

Hrmm I took this picture of the driveway just so you can feel better.

Those banks are 6 feet tall.

Crazy southerners. You can't even see pavement here from Dec-Mar. And I'm not even REALLY far north :)

gee.. WHO can keep me warm tonight???:smokin :rasta

Your blankie ;)

You have got to be fucken kidding!, it just looks like it rained! Its not confirmed Texans are pussies.

My basement (wich is my room) is like a sauna.. I sleep in boxers, no covers or anything, its pretty comfortable... ;)

Looks like spring to me!

:1orglaugh

Well, talking about snow, there's a big storm coming to the east coast.

Farmer's Alamanac says it's going to be the "storm of the century". :winkwink:

Are you lookin' at me?
Do I amuse you?
Do I make you laugh?

You still can't spell :helpme but for once I have to agree with ShawCutie. I'm up in north Dallas and was supposed to be driving back to Austin today. Now it looks like I can't go back until Thursday.

Thats our summer :1orglaugh

Texas at times in the winter it will rain then freeze, then you get people that have no ideal how 2 drive on ice, much less chains for the car. How do you drive on ice anyways, I was never very good at it.

Austin pussies:

But Hey, we are in N Dallas too, maybe we can build a snowman togather ;)

what the hell is that? looks like someone spilled a cup of sugar :Graucho

I should take a picture of what it looks like upi here in Canada
LOL

anyone from Quebec wanna snap a pic for this thread

When I was out there the snow was over 6 feet high

Yeah... the weather here in Seattle is really odd today, and I had to go out bopping around in it to try and meet models. The sky looks all funny and blue. Plus it is really bright out today, what causes that? :1orglaugh

We got 2.5ft of snow in 24hrs.

Imprint of my car remained in the snow after I pulled it out.

You have the right idea but you have the 2 steps backwards.

But come and spend a summer in Texas...that's some shit.

Seriously, you sweat while swimming in the pool.

Fucking humidity...now I live in Nevada it's hot as fuck but it's dry.

You spend all day here trying to drink enough water and it seems like you never do.
