It's snowing (yeah, like that's news :) )

So, apparently it's the most snow the south's seen for 18 years. It certainly feels that way, with 3 or 4 inches kicking around the place when I got up, and it's been snowing on and off (quite reasonable amounts of snow, too) all day. It is the-pretty. We went out for a wander down to the store and the sound of snow crunching under foot accompanied us.



I do, however, have to drive to work. A task which I'm certain will be entertaining in the '69 minor. A shovel's already made its way into the car, and I'll be taking other proper essentials, a blanket lives in the boot, so that's fine, but there's going to be a camping stove and some drinking water going with me. Not 'cos I imagine I'll be stuck for days, but hours in the cold can be a pretty effective chiller.

I dun' mind though. 'cos it's the Pretty.



I was going to upgrade the ent-mac today. I got as far as taking the case off and then discovered that there's no spare SATA cable in there. I thought I had one, but I guess I used it either in the G5 or in the Hackintosh that is at my mum's. I'll have to pick up a new SATA cable. Thankfully there's a spare SATA powersupply cable, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Lots to copy across and then we'll be able to continue much as before :)

Unfortunately, I didn't get to sleep very late today, and thus am feeling a bit groggy. I didn't get the DAF to the windscreen place, because they're all going "Ack! It's snowing!" so... yeah.

Anyway, I'm thinking I might have a little kipplet. There's pictures of Mogs in the Snow here.

Oh i love snow! :) It is funny however, that its such a big fuss when you guys don't get it often. I am constantly teasing my friends in Liverpool & Blackpool b/c of their lack of snow b/c over here in the US, the idea is that you guys are always getting snow...at least tv shows tell us that. Lol So i was shocked when a few years back they told me that only up in the mountains you really get it, otherwise its just rainy and cold. How sad.
What sucks is that we're due snow tomorrow, about 3-5" but that doesn't mean that things close down. I still have to go to work in it. Meh. I want me some good mid-west snow of about 8-12", then I won't feel guilty about not showing up to work. ;)
