Worst Snowpacalypse Ever

Posted in Fountain Square on February 1st, 2008 by Ryan

Are you kidding me?!

How do you go from predicting 8 to 12 inches of snow to the little bit of slushy mess my snow shovel scoffed at?  Seriously, I felt the shovel questioning why I ever took it outside.  Like Sting (the Tolkien sword, not the overblown, pompous rock star), it searched valiantly for frozen foes to vanquish, discovered none to be found, muttered silently to itself, and went back to sleep.

Shows what happens when you install World of Warcraft on the Doppler computers.

At least the lack of impending doom means I’m free to enjoy the previously mentioned First Friday activities unfettered by disaster and death.

Final Snowpacalypse Preparation

Posted in Fountain Square on February 1st, 2008 by Ryan
  • Ice melt spread liberally on walks and stairs - check
  • Ergonomic snow shovel - check
  • Website bookmarked for business and school closings - check
  • Hastily procured provisions from grocery store, bought in panicked frenzy (as is the custom) - check
  • Altar to ward off snow gods - check
  • Snow Yeti traps . . .

Crap, I knew I forgot something.
