Up to my waist in snow. Yes, literally. Buffalo has been dumped on.
At this point I'd be in Batavia, my hometown, where they've only recieved about 6 inches of snow. But last night, as a christmas gift, I traveled to my sister's place in southern Buffalo to upgrade my nephew's computer. Little did I know but the lake effect snow bands were currently planning an offensive against me. By the time I had finished with the computer, my car was already in a foot of snow. I doubt I would have gotten far. By morning there was 3 feet of snow outside, and another foot to drop down within a couple hours. The snow storm has thwarted my efforts to return home. Luckily, with a working computer and an internet connection, I am quite satified and no doubt I will survive until the roads open back up and the snow has been plowed.
Not to disillusion anyone, but I love snow, especially lots of it- however, not when it's inconvenient. However, I will not let this sudden attack stop me either. Lake Effect Snow, you will bow before me! *raises fist in stubborn defiance*

What Snow? Nothing here in Toronto as far as I know.
One.
Lousy.
Half.
Inch.

Yeah, I suppose that might work if you're driving a monster truck, or something. But I've never seena normal car that could magically push three-foot-thick snow out from in front of it in order to drive...

Driving would be rather stupid. Especially with the 4-5 SUV's stuck in the road of people who *thought* they could get out of it, but couldn't. I drive a 1990 Chevy Lumina and you suggest driving? Cuh-razy!
And a house and food and heat is a given, JeffSnay. Without an internet connection, I'd go stir crazy
And with the snow being what it is, I could very well be stuck here for a lot longer than expected. Apparently the snow bands are shifting north to south and back again. This lake effect should continue until tomorrow, and another low pressure front will move in to start the whole lake effect cycle again. I might not be able to get out until monday or even tuesday.
I no longer consider it "snow." It is now "white shit."

I love the snow. It's just two bad that I've only seen the stuff three times in my life. Then again, if I lived in the North all of my life, I'm sure I'd be as sick of the snow as I am now with the heat and humidity of the South.

Siegfried: Move to some place like St. Louis. Then you can get sick of the snow in winter just in time to get sick of the heat in summer.

Funny.
Current weather pattern exhibits high degree of uniformity. Variation negligable. Type rain.
Rain rain rain rain.
Kinda like Ferenginar, only worse. Damned global warming...

A book you say? Well, seems as how my trip was supposed to be temporary, my books are at home. I really wish I had brought "Cradle of Saturn" or the 3rd book in the X-Wing series.
I suppose, this being a house with kids in it, I could read "Clifford goes to School" or one of the Sesame Street books, but I'm sure I'd get bored of it fast. in actuality, I've already started reading Sol's Dirk Tungsten story, but with only 3 chapters, it won't last very long.
Daytime TV consists of kids shows and soap operas. I'm not much to watch TV, and programming on radio isn't what it used to be.
My point is that I am most fortunate to have an internet connection, necessities aside. Otherwise you guys wouldn't even know of my plight.
On the same note, there is now 5 feet of snow out there. Plows are no where in site. I'm not going anywhere soon.
Here are some pictures as well of the situation. The guy is my sister's neighbor, trying once again to uncover his car. My car isn't even visible in these pictures.
