Max's family thread (no, it's not a contest)

Finally got my email from eleaf. Signed the terms of agreement and paid the $5 shipping fee for the Pico win. Nowhere in the email exchange was I asked to choose a color. I'm fine with that, let them choose for me. Either one looks great.

That's actually kinda cool! It'll be a surprise. I have asked for a certain color before when I REALLY want a certain one, though.

Good morning, fam! Hanging out waiting for the SNOW!!!!

lol...that's funny...I'm really hoping I get that!

It's 26 degrees right now, and jim woke up to a power outage earlier! I think someone took out a transformer, cause it was out over 3 hours and was getting a little chilly in here.

Dang! We were at 21 when I went to bed. It's 34 right now with a feels like of 27 and it's supposed to start snowing in 15 minutes and snow until about 8 pm tonight. They said it should be snowing in seattle during kickoff but will change to rain by the end of the game. We aren't supposed to get much accumulation today and it will start raining in the middle of the night tomorrow. Monday should be an interesting commute for people. :\

Brr! I just got done shoveling the driveway for the first round.

Been trying to coordinate workers getting to shops with the road conditions. I don't know what's wrong with our plows today! Maybe cuz it's the first snow of the year? The guys were reporting that even the main roads are absolute crap still. Secondaries are a nightmare. But both of my brave soldiers made their destinations safely and have already had customers!

We've got about 5 inches and counting and the snow isn't supposed to stop till close to 6. My mom got hammered. Virginia Beach was predicted 9 to 12 inches!

WOW!! I wish ours would stick around for a few days. I have to settle for just watching it fall and be white for a few hours.

Not the strangest thing I've seen either, but I wasn't gonna risk a ban. Don't wanna drive to the next county over for groceries!

I was horrible in Walmart in college. You seen that list 100 ways to get kicked out of walmart? I think we did all those and probably another 50 or 60 more!

My roommates and I one year loved shopping at like 1am. We'd play Marco Polo to find each other and the workers would start playing too!

LOL! I love watching kids in Walmart in the middle of the night. They crack me up! We were like that, too, but on Capital Hill in Seattle. Bunch rabble rousers, lol.

And I've given up requesting colors...lol

Think this is only supposed to stick for a day or two. It's 21 right now with a feels like of 8. Supposed to be in 40-50s by end of week. I'll gladly trade ya. We get snow so infrequently the county has to remember how to deal with it every year. We're in "snow emergency plan" which means "don't drive unless it's an emergency" but everybody does anyways.

One of our favorites was getting throw pillows, tying them to the ready to go fishing poles and casting them over isles to see what we "caught".

Or cart racing. Always a favorite.

Tricycles....lmaoooo... with helmets

Can't believe it is STILL snowing, was when I woke up this morning about 7. It's like the worlds tiniest snowflakes too, it looks like static on a tv out there.

We've got fat flakes but it's really dry and fluffy. Been going since the wee hours and still at it. I'm seriously wondering if it's gonna stop. Heard a report that we're cold enough, the roads are gonna start to freeze in about 2 hours. That'll be fun...

Sounds like everyone needs to come pile in my house. It's currently 47. Only going down to 32 tonight.

It will be back up to the 80s by the end of the week.

 

[faeriekitsune]

Well, it stopped snowing here. Got about 6 inches or so accumulated on my back deck and parts deeper in the front from drifts.

Went on an adventure to Lowe's. Needed a part for something that blew up with the plumbing. I don't know what, he fixes stuff. I just know there's water in the floor of my laundry room. Learned a big lesson, probably for the millionth time....

These people can't DRIVE! Snow equals slow. It even rhymes. Why the bloody heck are you doing 45 and crawling up my tailights?! And a car missed the turn onto my road and got stuck in the drift by the curb so two trucks pulled up side by side behind him trying to get him out, effectively blocking the entire turn.

I love snow cuz it's pretty. I hate every thing else about it.

We got a few flakes for about 10 minutes and it quit. UGH! I wanted some white, just for a little while, lol. It's been so cold and clear I can't complain, though. MUCH better than warm (NOT! Just warm enough to not snow!!) and rainy. I hate that most of all.

Ha! That sounds like so much fun. A group of 3 of us on a double date in high school got kicked out of Toys R Us for setting off a wall of gremlins, lol. They made soooo much noise. It was GREAT!!
