Once again, it's snowing like hell here.
And that means that once again I'll be house-bound with a load of kids (though in truth most of them are over 20).

Guess it's time to start cooking chili...

What do you do when it snows?

I might bake bread too.
And it's a good thing I refilled the propane bottle on the grill- I have steaks and chicken in the freezer.

I'm also glad that my son stocked up on rented movies.

True!
I haven't watched John Stewart in a few days- maybe I'll fire up The Daily Show.

Yeah, but it ROCKS!
Seriously, it's become one of my signature dishes among my friends. The hardest part about it all is cutting up the pork- I use pre-ground spices, so it's just a matter of measuring them out and juicing the lemons. Do all of that the night before and let it marinate,, then just put it in the oven for four hours and forget about it until dinner time.

Rodriguez is hit-or-miss on films, but he sure can cook!

Sounds good to me.
I think I might need to go get a snowball and wake up my son in a memorable way- he still hasn't gotten out of bed, the slug.

it's only 10!
if it were 3 in the afternoon that'd be another story...
how much snow did you get? ours is barely covering the ground but it's still coming down
( Lisette von Falcon, Sat 30 Jan 2010, 15:08, Reply)

So far about eight inches.
We're predicted to get over a foot.

Miatas do not like snow. It looks sad out there.

I'm putting this here now because I'm an attention-seeking cunt
Who likes Midlake? I love them but obviously not enough because I only just found out they're playing in a tunnel up the road tonight.
I'm too hungover and peopled-out to go, and I also told a mate I can't go to his gig, so it would have caused conflict, but I'd have maybe gone anyway.
I rang up and it was sold out. I'm kind of glad beause it takes the difficult decision out of the equation.
But also gutted because Midlake are playing up the road.

Should I sit in the carpark and listen?

You should get tickets to see Brokencyde instead.

It's traditional to go to the bar when the snow starts.
Actually, we are used to it so unless its a huge storm it doesn't really affect anything. If it gets above 85 F however we all die.

Are you in Virginia?

I overexposure pictures by 1-2 stops
also, I watch my front door to see if any cars can get up my road. By this measure I can work out if I can drive down it without dying.

Not much to speak of though. When it snows I like to make the popular page for something I did months and months ago without even being online for a few days.

Call up Dave the Poacher (so named for the rad lines he poaches everywhere)and head up the mountain for straight ripping. After a day throwin' down gnarlyness we'll hit up a couple of bars and rip up a couple of shorties. Man, I love snow.

Snowing?
I make all kinds of yummy noms, play board games (Apples to Apples is great if you have enough people, otherwise it's the old Michigan standby, euchre), make a snowman, nap sybaritically, walk down to the big hill with my gen-u-wine Indian tobaggan, read or re-read favorite books, knit, have a couple ambush snowball fights, watch movies, pop popcorn and make cocoa, visit on the phone, invite anyone with 4 wheel drive over, light the fire in the fireplace and generally veg out. Anything to keep from doing chores and homework.

You?
