My boss called not too long ago to tell me to stay home. Woo Hoo! Snow Day! I guess the streets up by North Chicago aren't plowed that well.

Now, I just have to figure out what to do today.


You have a nice boss. Unfortunately for me, it is an EXTREME rarity that they shut down state offices for snowstorms:erk: . My car was covered in ice when I woke up and I am really worried about the trees around my house because they are just covered in ice. Hopefully, I will still have house that doesn't have a pine tree in the middle of my living room when I get home from work:ill:
 
Here's the snow at 6:30 this morning.

And here it is at 10:30

Wow, that is a lot worse that what we have so far but the storm seems to be picking up quite a bit. Luckily, I am only fifteen minutes from my house though. So it shouldn't be too bad driving back from work.

I'm sorry, but I gotta laugh at this!! I know karma's going to come back and bite me in the ass at some point this winter, but I just love seeing other cities get shitloads of snow.

Back in 1995, when I was still a young tyke at university, my hometown got six feet of snow over three days. It took two weeks of sixteen hour shifts for all of our snowplow drivers to clear the snow off all the streets. The city blew its' snow removal budget for the year by the 10th of December and this is a city used to heavy snowfall each and every winter. And, our university closed for the first time ever despite the fact that it was exam-time.

There's nothing quite like driving around and having to use your windshield wipers to clear off the snow that's travelled from the road up your hood and onto your windshield.
 
Here it´s like October. Green ground and 10 degrees C.

Here is the last picture I took in Norway a month ago. It´s the train station in Narvik.

And this one is just to show you how fucking metal the fish industry is. You should have seen the maggots.

Man, that made me laugh hard.


"What's on the menu today?"

"Well, sir, we have Norwegian Black Metal Wild Salmon on the menu today. It's quite delicious and metal as fuck."

In-fucking-deed! I always hummed "Falling to pieces" by Faith No More when I worked at the gutting table. Here is a catfish for all of you who prefer your fish in one piece.

Holy shit!! I hope he's okay dude. My dad had a heart attack. Then he stopped smoking and drinking and now he's fine.
Hope your uncle is okay. This year sucks!
 
And I don't know what went on in this house yesterday while I was at work, but Tonya went to bed at 6 o'clock last night and wouldn't get up to eat or take a bath, or even change her clothes, and she slept until 7:30 this morning. Joe crashed while watching The Grinch but that was at 8 o'clock, which is his usual bedtime.
