TPunk and her big bundle of snow called "Walty."

We've snow here in Rehoboth Beach! At long last. I'm dreaming of a white Valentines, just like the ones I used to... wait, I'm from SoCal, this snow stuff is new to me!

The dogs are happy. They'll run outside, play, and come back in smiling and wet.

But now it's time to dash off to work yet again. We've been swamped over the past couple of days, as shoppers have stocked up in anticipation of the end of the world.

Later.

The snow's still coming down.

Here's the view out my bedroom window. Notice the snow drifts...WOW!

Free for all Topic:

What's your happiest Snow Day memory?

I have two --- one is snow and the other is cold related.

One of the happiest days was when classes were cancelled and I did not have to take my psychology midterm until the following Monday.. That was Sweet!!

The second one is courtesy of the Governor of North Dakota when he shut down the schools due to high winds and extreme windchills of -100 Fahrenheit! That was a perfect day to stay in bed....

Oh, my, that's some snow in NYC! We have "decorative" snow, just on the grass, rooftops, trees, but the roads seem to be clear.

DR Jose - thanks for the photos. I hope you and all the other New Yorkers stay safe and warm and that travelers like Jennifer's parents are not too hampered by the conditions.

I, too, wish Michelle Kwan all the best. Olympic silver and bronze medals are nothing to sneeze at and she has acted with class by stepping aside in time for Emily to savor her first Olympic experience.

So, my topic for discussion today: What is your favorite moment from the Winter or Summer Olympics? Mine was Paul Wylie's no-expectations trip to the 1992 games in Albertville and his silver medal. I've always thought of 1992 as the last year of figure skating's "innocence," before the Harding-Kerrigan debacle.

DR Ginny, I agree with you about Michelle Kwan, she demonstrated a lot of class and integrity. It is a thing all athletes and people for that matter can learn from.

My favorite Olympic moments are

1980 - even though I was fairly young, I loved it when the US beat Russia in hockey!!!

1984 - Dean and Torvill winning gold in ice dancing

Latest Update... 11:00AM:

DR Jason, Rodzinsky, Tpunk and Jose, Stay safe!!

Amazing amount of snowfall.. I have freinds who are in northern NJ and MA and it is a similar situation...

It's quite a beautiful non-snowy hot day here in the City of Studio. I don't think I'll attend the matinee, although I may drive over there to see what sort of house we have.

Here's the window view from Washington Hts.

Amazing how the snow can create interesting sculptures from the wind and the lay out of the area.

That snow looks like fun...as long as you can stay home and not have to drive in it! It has been a few years since we have gotten a lot of snow, and probably about 15 years since we got snow THAT deep!

Here in Salem, Oregon it is sunny, and if it warms up enough I might have to go outside and do some yardwork.

Good morning, all! I love the quiet of the City after a huge snow. I have yet to hear the sound of a snow shovel scraping against concrete this morning. And the City is beautiful covered in snow. I'm listening to Haydn's "Mass in Time of War" and enjoying the feeling of beng snowed in.

As DR MBarnum reported, I watched the Bridie Murphy-inspired THE UNDEAD last night, I loved this film as a kid, and I think it holds up fairly well, given the fact that the special effects are cheaper than my porn.

And speaking of cheap porn, elmore, thank you for that copy of the one that was filmed a few months ago out on your balcony. I don't usually enjoy solos, but the guy was cute, and that underwear looked so familiar.

I was just thinking, DR MBarnum, about having to dig you out of the fire escape if you were visiting now.

Hmmm....when I was little, I would sometimes get names mixed up. I always thought Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn were sisters. I was really confused about Van Heflin and Van Johnson.

And for a LONG time I thought Howard Hawks was Howard Hughes!

I used to get confused between Robert Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor.

TPunk · « **Reply #108 on:** February 12, 2006, 11:45:09 AM »

Our street is more of a side street and doesn't get plowed as regularly, so I guess some folks needed to ski!

TPunk · « **Reply #109 on:** February 12, 2006, 11:45:55 AM »

Somebody, and I won't say any names, pushed me down into over 2 feet of snow!!

I have a lovely pot of vegetable soup simmering on the stove and I may also do some baking. Of course this is all for the purpose of avoiding doing my school work.

We (Ant and me) have been inside all day watching a movie and listening to CDs. We are about to go out to see if any life exists in Chelsea. We see people walking in the street since the sidewalks are not completely shoveled. It reminds me of the days of yore in Old Minnesota when I used to walk 5 miles uphill in the snow (both ways) to go to school

We also have to see if Staples is open because yesterday the toner on the laser printer decided to give out. Oh, well. It has been at least 3 years since I bought the last toner. Perhaps it is time for a new one.

This is Ben, reporting from Chelsea (just blocks from the studios of New York 1, the local all news channel, in fact it's in the same building as Chelsea Market and all that delectable food).

Speaking of Fort Tryon Park: We once went to a wedding in Fort Tryon Park. On our way there, we hailed a cab but this well-dressed couple "stole" our cab saying "We're really in a hurry, on our way to a wedding." We were about to say something, but something told us to just shut up. Anyway, a few hours later, we're at the reception and sure enough, the well-dressed couple is sitting at a very prominent table full of producer-types.

I think of that lesson (shut up and don't make a scene unless absolutely necessary) whenever anyone says Fort Tryon Park.

Hiya, all.

I'm tucked in at the cabin - and it's a lovely day, bright sunshine, not a cloud! Odd for this time of year. The daffodils are up about 6 inches already - think they know somethin??

I have the Theater Puget Sound general auditions tomorrow - and though I am rarely sick, somehow yesterday I came down with the flu. But the show must go on - so I'll shlep into town tomorrow morning and recite. Then, gotta get the car serviced, and head back down. Just a zip up and a zip back down. Hoping to get a show up here during the summer - wouldn't it be loverly? Actually WORK up here, and LIVE IN MY HOUSE!! Whatta concept...

I know that Jed, and Ann, and I would love you to do a show up here!!!
