Hasn't started here quite yet
Not looking forward to it
Threw my back out installing a vanity and now i'm gonna have to shovel
The universe is a cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel place
But... I do get to trot out this picture I drew back in my childhood days living in Wisconsin
MODS why isn't the evil snowman an emoji yet
Here's my zero effort attempt
:snow-problem:
:frosty-the-gunman:
That's better than I could do!!
Someone's gotta make the .png and it's not gonna be me
I threw my back out and can't get out of bed to use the computer
Feel better comrade bongler 
I've got a lidocaine patch on my back, and I'll probably pop an edible in a couple of minutes so I will hopefully be feeling pretty damn good
I got 2 feet
Fuck ICE!!!!!
Many people are saying this
Great lakes here, it's snow time baby. Less exciting, my furnace failed yesterday and we had to leave my house because no HVAC contractors could get here through the weather. Finally have one now.
I feel for you. I had my hvac shit itself twice in the past 5 years - both on Christmas day in fact!
We had a city wide blackout on Christmas eve last year. Good times. At least my cousins have a good generator.
im giving the birds peanut butter, they love it. one time I gave them popcorn and that was also pop-ular.
Shoveled the first 8 inches, probably 10 to go lol. Shower already froze while on a drip because the landlord won't insulate the crawlspace under the house 
Crap, I really hope for you that the pipes won't explode!
We had the power go out twice today. Still waiting for it to come back. Just saw a truck with a spotlight pointed at the wires drive by, hopefully that means were only a few hours away from getting it back.
Already went out and shoveled, looks like I'm going to have to go out and do it few more times today. THANKFULLY it's pretty light and fluffy so I can just push it out of the way.
Lucky, we just have ice and sleet. Is up to about 1/4 inch on everything right now. Supposed to hit ~2 inches
Hope you don't lose power...that's a lot of ice.
So far so good. We've also got a ton of power trucks on standby from Canada and Florida. After Helene everyone here is prepped and ready for the worst
Oh wow, so sorry for that. Hope you stay safe and warm!
It is absolutely crazy along with the lake effect coming into the equation. I wanted to do some errands today but I guess at most I'll have to go out to get takeout (which thankfully there are couple placesthat is like 5 minutes walk)
Getting bliz all over me.
We got what looks like an inch of shit on the ground (i only ever saw it sleeting) but it's snowing right now a little bit. It was supposed to be like 2ft of snow, where is it
I don't like it. I've been generating videos of pugs smoking weed all evening to melt the snow faster
Its supposed to hit me tomorrow. I steady its just -30 and I gotta do a weekend worth of errands before work today cause shit may be closed for the next 2
Well you know what they say.
Snow news is good news.
Its 84 degrees in FL right now, hottest day of the week
Also Great Lakes, 3-6 inches forecasted. Made some pancakes this morning, ready to bunker down with my kitty and toke it up 
Not bad, seems to have passed to the south. Extremely dry here.
Coming down where I'm at! So glad I got the electric snow blower a couple years ago, it rips!
Please let it snow in FL... Just for funsies, not just the panhandle either. Free me from this literal hell
