Glad I wasn't the only one taking pictures. Hope it was a lot of fun for you as well

I need to wear my snowboots but they make me so clumsy in the snow.

I have a snow blower so doing my sidewalk is very easy and I tend to go up and down a few houses as well. The house next to us does not even do their driveway. When I run up and down Main Street in Amherst it amazes me as to how many people do not clear the snow in front of the house. I usually am motivated by someone falling and then suing me. This does not look to bad but if we get more snow on top of this and that gets packed down you are looking at a real problem.

Anyone who shovels should be dropping some salt when finished. In general the people who shovel on my block do a good job of this, being a commercial block and all.

And she is ROSEMARY! She cornered me again today!

heh, the advantage of being somewhat puny is that you can walk on top of 3 feet without it collapsing under you. ;-)

Jokes aside, I know its nice to not have to walk on snow, but its just impossible for everyone to keep shovelling when you have snowstorms like crazy. I am just looking at the positive side.


Its interesting that you mentioned trousers getting wet. I think snow here must be more powdery than Rochester because I can usually dust it off as soon I reach a stand-still on the way (red-lights, destination etc.) If you let it build it eventually makes for a lot of unpleasantness so the dusting off trick at regular intervals works well.

Unfortunately city code does not agree with you (e:Tinypliny). Supposedly you can be fined for not shoveling, though this is apparently not much enforced. I want to see you have the same sentiment once it is 3 feet high instead of one foot. :p

Aren't your feet cold and wet all day from pant legs getting soaked in the snow?

tinypliny - 12/29/09 01:32
You shouldn't too. Pardon my anti-shovelling sentiments but I think shovelling makes walking more dangerous because ice is more likely to form on the wet cold ground than on powdery snow. I slip more often on shovelled pavements than non-shovelled one. I can walk top-speed on snow but walking on shovelled icy surfaces is such a disaster in the morning. I have skinned elbows to prove it. :(

If that shit is still there tomorrow call 311 and report the mother fuckers.

I wondered what that tastes like but Haven't tried it. I have Tried Joose and it is really strong and lasts me a long time. I know recently year wise that a lot of the laws have changed, used to be no beer before noon on a sunday. It also used to be that molson or was it labatt had that beer that was to high of a % to sell here and you could only get it in Canada, you can buy it here so that would mean that rule changed. Not sure how they say what is Liquor and what is beer but there is some way that they do.......

Yes, and apparently Bananas are fat-free according to stickers on them.

I am scared to think what they need to do to bananas to make them *Really* fat-free.

One of my favorite things on the planet is going out late enough to just catch the last train out of Grand Central. The vast empty streets of Manhattan are beautiful.

Ive almost broken up with two people over Times Square. I hate it.

tinypliny - 12/28/09 19:19
LOL, emptiness makes me anxious. :)
