It has not. I even brought my snow boots with me. They remain untouched by pavement - or snow. Huh.

Guess I'm free for the night; what to do? Watch the third part of To the Ends of the Earth, and wallow in even more of the Cumberbatch (so frequently naked, or shagging, or drunk, or bloody - it's like they know me)? Work on Sherlock fanfic? Put a ( Read more... )

So, yeah, I was foolish last night ( Read more... )

So, OK, it's snowing. Currently. It's also not particularly cold outside, so the 3" of accumulation that I saw on my jaunt outside 20 minutes ago will be a slush fest pretty soon.

This will not be another "OMG SNOW" post because there are already plenty of those. Besides, the snow's OK with me. It's been kind of fun, actually.

It's the fact that it's going to be horrifically cold for the next entire week that gives me the creeps. I now have a horror of ice on the streets and sidewalks. One decent severe injury, and I am ( Read more... )

Last night's thunderstorm was absolutely amazing... It would have been awesome except that it was happening between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., when I was trying to get some damn sleep. But yeah... insanely bright lightning flashes every five to ten seconds or so, and thunder so loud it sounded like a Ford truck had fallen out of an airplane and hit the ( Read more... )
