heh.. i wonder if thats where General game from.. i never thought of that until now...
pretty much starting at cap't (about 4 years in) is when i deal less and less with weather. which kinda sucks, imo.

yeah, the last time chicago got that much snow was in 1998-1999 when the blizzard hit right after new years, and in 1999-2000
I remember that blizzard like it happened yesterday. It happened a few days before school resumed from winter break, and yet we STILL got 2 snow days.

Damn, it seems like it would be soooo much more. Then again, we got a lot of ice storms as well, and clearly that wouldn't add to the overall season accumulation. Its been a bitch of a winter either way, bring on the heat and humidity!

if i remmeber correctly, we got the two snow days because of the temps/wind chills.....it was like -40F w/ the wind... i remember standing at the fucking bus stop freezing...waiting for the goddamn bus to show up...and finally one of the neighbors came out of their house and told us school had been cancelled

They hadn't cleaned up the last storm from two days ago, and now in yesterday's freak storm we got another 35cm of snow/ice mixture. Our front and side doors won't open, so we're still trying to figure out a plan for getting out of the house (might have to use a window). The car is buried up to the top of the doors (we can barely see the red roof and the spoiler sticking out). We can barely see the top branches of our tree in the front lawn - there must be at least 6-7 meters of snow piled up there. Mia had to go pee this morning and we couldn't figure out a way to open the patio door to the yard because it's buried in 3 feet of snow and all the edges are frozen solid into the frame, so we had to cut a hole through the screen to let her out.

damn, im glad this huge snow storm hit Toronto on the weekend. If it hit any earlier it would have made life difficult. There's about 1ft to 2ft of snow everywhere!
