SNOW!!!

Post by Chiron »

We have 8 inches outside my door and it’s snowing hard! Prospects are for the snow to fall for two days. In northern Greece there are villages with over one meter of snow and rising. We live on the northern side of mount Pendeli so we get hit harder than most in Athens.

The temperature outside is minus 2 C that’s 28 F. In northern Greece it’s already minus 14 C or 10.4 F. For northern Greece its normal but Athens is cold.

Looks like I'll work from home today. Greeks don't drive well in snow. One time it took 7 days for the snow plow to get here. :wink:

Ranger Chiron,

We just got over a foot of snow this weekend in Anchorage, and now I get to jump in Ft Wainwright tomorrow. 10" of snow on the DZ and the low tomorrow night is -38F. Damn do I hate this cold weather. :x

I drove to work! Snowing here too.

Wife called me and said "We are snowed in!"

I'm going home now.

Turn on PC from home when I get there.

Shit I thought you all used Chariots and shit. Do you all have regular plumbing. I mean I am sure you do and all, but SNOW, damn dude. LOL

ENJOY IT... Just remember it will be hot as shit soon.

Go throw a few snowballs at some of the kids for good times
They have snow plows for the highways. On the roads they use graders and bulldozers. PLumbing existed since 2500BC! In the north parts of Greece it snows like it does in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. (Or what ever it's called now)

It's a main event when it snows in Athens.
