I am doomed. · 12:05am Jan 22nd, 2016

See that white blob? The "Heya, you're fucked!" white blob? Well, that's me, Ponyville and the four feet of snow coming our way.

Assuming I live through any of this, I'll probably do some writing, Twitch streaming and answer a question or two.

Canterlot must be destroyed.

All it takes is one missile strike on the right spot on the mountain.

Yowtch. Sorry to hear that, Shin.

We got some snow this week, but only like 5 inches at the very most.

As to this:

Why do I just have a very bad feeling about this?

What is it with you Americans and overly dramatic statements about a bit of snow?
I, living practically next to Russia, do not understand this one bit.

Is it a glorious carnage, or is it just some nuke?

I only have one thing to say to that.

*Ahem*

♫Do you want to build a snowman~♫

And here in Cancun, I'm shirtless while I clean my home, and my only weather-related headaches are about my clothesline having been rained on...

Assuming I live through any of this, I'll probably do some writing,

:yay:

Try moving here from HONOLULU and then you see why I freak. :rainbowlaugh:

And over here in Minnesota, I say to thee, good luck.

3703795 Also from the same area, I say you east coasters whine too much. :derpytongue2: Granted 4 feet at once is a bit excessive but I've actually seen worse up here. Just glad I don't have to shovel that.

Snow is all fine and dandy, that shit melts. Having a temperature that barely hovers above ten throughout the week? Fuck that.

Well I'm just hoping that white stuff doesn't dip too far south. Hoping to skip snowmageddon here in Hotlanta. Best of luck to ya there.

3703509 It kind of depends where in the states you are. Here in Atlanta we only have nowhere near the number of snow plows/salt trucks needed to even come close to covering the city let alone the area around it. Last big snow here it took 3 days for a salt truck and plow to get to where I live. Add to it the fact that before any snow actually starts to stick there has to be a layer of ice underneath it, and things can get harry pretty fast. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if there was the equipment to deal with things, but since large snows happen so infrequently there isn't. There's a large hill where I live and whenever it snows it always ices over an doesn't get any sun, so I usually can't get a car in or out of the neighborhood whenever it really snows. Especially since last I looked it was illegal to put chains on the car tires on public roads in Georgia. :facehoof:

Stay safe now.

but the paint hasn't even dried in the new house

Agreed. I'm originally from Southern California. And as I said prior, I moved here from Hawaii. I've seen snow. I've been to the Arctic as part of my Navy duties.

I am not prepared for this hell.

3704351 Yeah I have a collage friend who moved here from Rochester NY.... boy the look on his face when the big blizzards from a few years ago hit. He was stuck at my house for 3 days and said he'd never doubt me again when I said things could get bad. :rainbowlaugh:

I'm not in the States. I never said I was in the States. I said I lived right next to Russia. Yes, THAT Russia. It's north, there's the sea practically right next door, and something is always coming from the sky. What's a salt truck?

3703741
Honolulu... That's Hawaii, right?
Okay, that's a little more excusable.
I know I would never be able to survive there.

3704479 sorry I never meant to imply you were in the states (poor turn of phrase choice in that first sentence on my part), I was just trying to explain some of the situation since you were from such a different climate. Some places in the US are very good at handling snow, others since it happens infrequently are extremely poorly equipped it. By salt truck a meant anything used to spread salt or sand mixtures on roads to help melt snow and ice.

And you just reminded me of the time when I was a teenager, when it snowed in LA (it does happen on rare - really rare - occasions.) Anyway, IIRC, it was less than an inch, and people were freaking out worse than if it had been an earthquake.

So yrs, some places are really bad when dealing with snow. :rainbowlaugh:
