First, we had snow on Xmas Eve, then I had my run in with Nene, and now THIS! For real, the end is nigh, ya'll better get right cuz Mother Nature is mad at ya'll!

Thirty years I've lived in North and Central Texas, 3-0, and I've nevah seent it snow like this. I've been saying this is the coldest, wettest winter evah but this shit just got ridiculous! It snowed today for 16 hours straight and we got more than 7 inches I know that ain't shit to a lot of you guys, but this is really historic 'round these parts. I hope this ain't gon' fuck with All Star weekend.

I wanna be chillin' in South Beach righ NOW!

Here's what it was like here, how's it lookin' in your neck o' the woods?

I have a few other pics that I haven't already posted, but they're no better than the ones in the major snow storm thread. Hope the snow doesn't shut anything down over there like it did here...not that I minded, but I'm sure most people think it sucks.

Lots of cancelled flights, no school tomorrow cuz the shit's freezing overnight, etc. Another day I'm thankful that I work at home and can roll over and go back to sleep. But this was the worst weekend possible since the city is expecting more than 300,000 visitors for All Star weekend.

Unrelated I guess, but I like your place.

Thanks!

Here is a vid from our balcony from yesterday afternoon. It snowed all day, Central Park got about 10 inches, I think. A lot of it has melted today, but the street corners and side streets are still pretty messy/slushy.

Man, I heard Jersey is outta control with the snow. But that happens every few years tho. I spent Xmas there years ago and got trapped in Jersey for weeks with my family.

If you don't mind my asking, what part of Boston?

It was up to my knees when I went out- before it had stopped.

No school for 2 days... back to work tomorrow, but then we have Presidents' Day off.

Southie... I am a 2 minute walk from the beach.

paintedlady said:

How are you and the kiddos doin, mami?

SCNDLS said:

We're good, things are looking up ... I see your kiddos like the snow!

paintedlady said:

Cowboy, the lil one, was doing the FOOL! (He's the one I'm always cussin' when we're on the phone ) He was playing tag and rippin' an' runnin' like a nut. That fucka a trip!

Dang. I was talking to my homegirl in Harlem and she said today was really light.

paintedlady said:

Oh ok. Born in Boston and lived there until about 11, so I was just wondering. Of course, being only 11, it's not like I got around the city a lot anyway.

You guys took a ski trip without leaving home.

SCNDLS said:

Yeah, today was fine. It was yesterday that was messy. My office closed and I had an unexpected snow day. Personally, I didn't think it was that bad yesterday and wouldn't have minded getting some shit done at work; but then I don't drive and our apartment building super has to shovel everything so I have it pretty easy.

I couldn't get off my street. It's a side street, so it wasn't plowed till this morning.

I live in the ugly but really close to the expensive parts. The kids like it, but I miss Roxbury. The zoo always had an escapee I looked forward to seeing running the streets, ostrich, gorilla, wild turkeys, a two humped camel, a wolf and I even caught a peacock and brought it back myself. Now they have tigers and lions

chocolate1 said:

It still looks so pretty

I'm not sure about our streets but damn if I don't wanna venture out for some Chik-Fil-A right now.

DAMN, them waffle fries be callin' me like crack call Pookie!

paintedlady said:

Oh my!

paintedlady said:

You're braver than I am. I'm actually afraid of birds. I'd take my chances with a camel before a peacock.

I lived in Roslindale. Whenever I say that people usually say "where's that?". It's beside West Roxbury. Orange line from Forest Hills goes right through it on the way toward Dedham.

DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW~~!!!!

The ghetto apartments (which are being torn down I hear) at Beech St. and Washington St....that's me. At least it was.

No snow here, but it has been a very fucking cold winter.

Ok, so these are from just over a year ago but this was the last time we saw snow.
