In the market for

I enjoy my snowshoeing so much that I think I might like XC skiing. I am currently searching the chasm of craigslist for some older model skiis for cheap!

The hunt continues,

...Well that was a let down.

I am very grateful that we do not have school today, however in the land of limited snowdays one must not waste them on the frivolous threats of fear mongering weathermen!

I understand that the storm was very bad in parts of the country, and that adequate warnings for those places is necessary, but to put the whole map into a panicky and frenzied state is a bit of a waste.

The nighttime did not bring this area the dumping of the century, as was foretasted, however we did get some snow:

Are you kidding me? Where I come from this little amount would be a blessing, not a cause for catastrophe!

Calvin looks at the petty amount of snow with disdain.

Sunny the dog was hoping for a little more snow too... maybe next time!

The snow is still falling, albeit at a much slower, prettier rate now. Continue to check in to see how the conditions are advancing. 

Personally I am hoping for some more snow.

Fingers crossed I head back to the contracts book.

You call this a storm!

I say bring it Mother-Nature!

I am not phased by the minuscule amount of snow we have received thus far.

I really hope that when we awake in the morning there is a load of snow and that we can strap on the shoes and clomp to the park!

As for now, I will give you a little weather report:

The snow is falling at what I would call a very moderate rate, so far this "storm" is lacking in umph. Approximately 2.5 new inches, a light dusting has fallen.

This makes me feel like:

(Whoa, crazy Eyes time)

Where is this storm MAN? Weatherman that is. I have heard big things about it, and it is all a lot of hot air so far! Really hoping I am wrong.

Keep Checking back

Strange Creatures come out during Blizzards...

I heard that the storm is cooking up and that we should be on the lookout at around 10. So the snow that is falling now is like practice snow!

But what is this?

Holy Snow Monster!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Well there you have it friends, the snow people are here. Updates to follow, time to compose myself after this harrowing experience.

RSOC Weather UPDATE

Snow:

We are getting some in South Eastern Michigan. I hope are all bundled up. As you can see the snow is falling rather quickly, however I still an skeptical as to the amount that we will get.

However, in consideration we have our snowshoes at the ready!

Keep following tonight and tomorrow while we chronicle this "storm"

Whoa man!

So after looking at this during the break during class I cannot help but be in awe:

Though I would not be so keen on skiing down those faces, I would love to hike up them and enjoy those sights. Maybe one day that will be a possibility!

Back to class:
