Shouldn't there be a general chat thread here too?
I just wanted to voice my general displeasure with the forecasted 24"+ of snow my area is supposed receive over the next two days. It mainly irks me because I just changed positions at work and my commute that was normally 10 minutes from home is now around an hour. And this storm is going to make it unbearable.

This doesn't happen all the time here but its not a rarity either, so most people are used to it. What sucks is that places usually wait to the last possible second to decide to close things. Its very possible that I won't find out that my office is closed until i'm already in the car.

So far, my area has been pretty lucky, in terms of snow. I live by Lake Erie and that usually means nonstop snow for days, but we haven't been hit by many fronts, nor have we had much lake effect snow. Maybe you're getting all of our snow, moran, haha.

I really think we are. The report I saw this morning was that we're getting hit hard because one storm front coming up the east coast is meeting with one coming from across the Great Lakes. You're welcome.

In the 50s.
Which is good, because class was cancelled today, I didn't find out until I walked to campus, and then I walked back. I spent an hour of my day on walking and waiting for nothing. Woopie.

Same here. I recall being told that the Farmer Almanac said this winter was going to be a nasty one, possibly worst then the last one. But more local weather people in my area (northern Ohio but also the Midwest I believe) said that the area will probably have a mild winter and so far things have been good. December was warm a bit and not a lot of snow fall but January came and the snow fell but not as bad elsewhere.

For the last month we've had like a weekend of snowfall and the rest of the week melts it all off.

Relevant to winter weather, I took this picture last January, when Lake Erie was over 90% frozen. It was like 30 degrees outside, which was the warmest it had been in weeks (The worst was when it was -10 degrees, with -30 degree windchill (That's -23.3 and -34.4 for non-Americans)), so we felt like it'd be warm enough for a stroll by the lake.

I've also got it pretty warm here. Do you guys think this would make a good poster? Speaking of posters, I'm wondering how people who collect posters do it. Do they cycle which posters they have hung up? The amount of posters I'd like to have is more than I could have up at once, but I don't know about how it's done amongst hardcore poster enthusiasts. I might just designate a "poster spot" on my wall and change it out every month.

I used to have a bunch collected from gaming mags and the like, but I threw them out a few years ago. What I have now are three; A Spider-Man poster from the 90s, a Blazing Saddles poster, and an Inception poster.
