I was out test driving a car when a storm literally came out of nowhere and reduced visibility so ridiculously I took the car back to the dealership.

It was only here for like 10 minutes though. No accumulation or wind afterwards. It was beyond strange. The sun came out, then I went for a walk with my girlfriend.
What were you test driving?
FYI, if you want to go for Chinese in Kensington some time, Urban Rice was tasty. Good service and large portions. The ginger beef actually tastes like fresh ginger!

We got a foot or so down here. Pretty tame compared to what I've heard about farther north. They did a real shit job plowing though.

Word. First it went brown as the wind was picking up kinds of dirt and debris, then within less than 3 minutes the snow started to come, literally sideways. Visibility was maybe 2 car lengths.

A sportscar with horsepower and torque in the 300s, and 0 to 60mph in the really low 5s.

A driving ban??
Jesus christ. Up here, if there's a blizzard that dumps 10 feet of snow in one night (every winter we get at least one storm like that), you get up and go to work/school the next morning.
This shit is too funny.

Blizzard warning in effect until 12 pm tomorrow (I'm in Northwestern Minnesota).
Plus I'm on-call until the blizzard is over.

Apparently this was taken at my school the other day when the snow was starting to come down.

Here dust on this...
This is my 4 foot high fence...

This is outside my front door, the other night at 2am I went out and shoveled like 3 feet of snow from in front of the door and the garage door so you could get out or get my snow blower out and started...

It's the same here, lol'ing at UK'ers when they get a light shower and everyone panics.

We went to have a bachelor party for my friend on a frozen lake at -40. We had planned to throw him in the water but that seemed a bit too much at that temp.

So we had him ski around the lake dressed as a moose instead.

Had to walk a mile from the civic center to the parking lot, OMG I thought we would freeze to death. We were knocking on peoples windows asking if they would let us sit in their car for a minute to warm up. Being in the city, no one would let us.. That sucked..

hahaha The second night was just as cold and we saw Alanis Morissette and Loud Lucy but have nearly as far to walk.
Tbh I think -20 with heavy wind feels a lot worse than -40 and calm. Thankfully it was that cold only during the morning, we went to the lake at 4 am and started drinking heavily.

(We rented a cabin there, so sauna+ice hole swimming+alcohol= awesome)

I'm in southeastern MA and we got hammered. About 2 feet of snow and gusts reported up to 86 mph. Power is still out for a lot of people.

In the northeast we don't get natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes (sometimes an occasional hurricane makes it up here) but we get real bad storms.

Oh hey your in Hartford, we got a little worse in Enfield. At one point it was snowing 6 inches an hour, was crazy, never saw anything like that before.
I actually live in Middletown, which was one of the worse hit areas I believe, in terms of snow totals and overall slow response. My street just got plowed this morning from what I gather (I left for work around 5:30am and it hadn't been done yet).
Bleh... I figured being only about 2 miles from a hospital would have it's perks, but I guess I was wrong. Can't bitch too much though, as this was probably the most amount of snow fall I've seen overnight in the last decade...
