Hey any other US East Coast comrades getting snowed on? I sure am.

But I'm fine I have a bag of weed gummies, a case of beer and some oven bake pizzas.

But yeah, it's fucking snowy out.

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

I threw my back out and can't get out of bed to use the computer

Feel better comrade bongler left-unity-4

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

penguin-love 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

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!

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

We had a city wide blackout on Christmas eve last year. Good times. At least my cousins have a good generator.

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.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Lucky, we just have ice and sleet. Is up to about 1/4 inch on everything right now. Supposed to hit ~2 inches

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hope you don't lose power...that's a lot of ice.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 3 months ago

Oh wow, so sorry for that. Hope you stay safe and warm!

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

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)

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Getting bliz all over me.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

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

Many people are saying this

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Also Great Lakes, 3-6 inches forecasted. Made some pancakes this morning, ready to bunker down with my kitty and toke it up comfy

[–] someone@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Well you know what they say.Snow news is good news.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Coming down where I'm at! So glad I got the electric snow blower a couple years ago, it rips!

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Not bad, seems to have passed to the south. Extremely dry here.

[–] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Its 84 degrees in FL right now, hottest day of the week

[–] Commiechameleon@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

my-life-is-yours Please let it snow in FL... Just for funsies, not just the panhandle either. Free me from this literal hell

[–] autism_2@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

I don't like it. I've been generating videos of pugs smoking weed all evening to melt the snow faster

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago
