Awwwww *hugs* you're awesome too :)

ALSO GUYS IT'S SNOWING THERE IS SNOW EVERYWHERE AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Lucky you. Just cold up here.

Last night, someone's microwave in our dorm building exploded, so we got woken up at 2:30 in the morning to run outside into freezing temps. Nothing got burnt (beyond the microwave) but it was annoying as all hell...

I've had something quite similar happen to me in the middle of winter, only I was in the shower at the time and had to run outside in nothing but a towel. The only reason the person to set off that smoke alarm is still alive is that I never found out who did it.

So I was just thinking, it actually means a lot to me that I have y'all on here because you guys are just so great and wonderful and I just love this whole group 'cause y'all are so nice and I just wanted to thank you guys. Because even if elsewhere people are getting up in arms, everyone here just seems to be really nice and it's just such a great place to be here. So thank you. :))

Eek, that's not fun. :-/ I hope it wasn't too cold... The closest I've ever gotten was late spring and I'd been playing on my DS. So like not close to that at all.

We got snow (FINALLY, whoever thinks climate change is a myth need only look at my hometown in the past five years. Like seriously, WHY IS THE SNOW THIS LATE) but it basically all melted already and I think it's supposed to heat up again later in the week. :-/

Yep, we also got a few flurries here in eastern Mass. No accumulation but it was nice to see it. If this represents a trend I think I'll be very glad my latest car has a 4 wheel drive traction control system.

:/ It's barely cold enough to turn the heat on here, and we're in a drought too. *crosses fingers for snow nonetheless*

After I signed up for the advent calendar and the secret santa, BAM I was struck with immediate art block. I can barely even conceptualize anything to draw for the advent calendar. Art block, please go away.

Meanwhile it's going to hit 36C by the end of the week here. Some snow would be a nice relief.

It would indeed! Our weirdweather has decided to go from cold enough to need the woodstove and have plants nipped by frost to mid thirties C in under a week. And Sunday we had another lengthy power outage. Mrrrrr.....

:O that is incredible. Our weather has been oscillating between extremes too, but not THAT extreme. That's like switching from winter to summer in a couple of days. *very worried for the environment*

You and I both. The Barossa has always had extremes, but these are more so.

Just letting you guys know I'm okay. Big earthquake up in Fukushima, but my area seems to be okay, and I'm far enough away from the coast and mountains that landslides and tsunamis shouldn't be a problem.
