The IWU emergency supply list says to have "warm pajamas that are appropriate for mixed company"... is there such as thing as warm pajamas that are inappropriate for mixed company? In my mind warm means every body part is covered...
IWU said "make sure your cell phone is fully charged." Do you really need to tell text-aholic college students to charge their cell phones?
They also told us that if we lose power we are not to reside in the building overnight. But, who is really going to wake me up to say we lost power and I have to walk *through the treacherous weather* to the student center to sleep on a cement floor with lights on? I might consider discontinuing that friendship... jk. But really...
Finally, the last bash on IWU's emergency preparation email... They said, "In the event that the power to your Residence Hall goes out, assume that it will not be coming back on." How long is that assumption supposed to last? Forever? hahah·
Is it still considered a blizzard if it is more ice than snow?
If it wasn't for the windchill it really wouldn't be that cold outside. Hell is not going to freeze over
It's just my luck that campus may close when it no longer affects me... my last semester when I don't even have any classes to be cancelled!
I am really really really thankful for the awesome guys that plow our roads and clean our sidewalks. They deserve mucho bonus pay!
Everyone's facebook status is about the blizzard... but surely there's more going on in their lives than that.
The storm is being called "Snowpocalypse 2011"... really? I highly doubt that.
I feel awful for the homeless and those who don't have adequate heat supplies. It makes me want to invite them all over to my townhouse. The school would frown on that though :(
My internship agency isn't closing because "social work problems don't solve themself just because of snow & ice". However, how are social workers supposed to solve those problems if they die risking their lives on the roads?
Even if I wanted to go to work tomorrow I don't think I could get my car out of the not-plowed parking lot
The ice really stings when it hits your face.
Ice pellets going "tink tink tink" against my window sounds rather relaxing... until I remember what they are.
Why does everyone buy milk & bread when there is a storm advisory? They're really not that nutritious or sustaining. I would rather have comfort foods like chocolate and ice cream.
I'm going to get cabin fever if i'm cooped up in my townhouse all day tomorrow. I've already done my homework through next week. Movies movies movies :)
I have the feeling i'll be lulled to sleep with the sound of snow plows passing my window.
I felt like I was defying gravity when I walked on top of 6 inches of snow and didn't sink down because the ice on top was so thick.
A foster parent I met with today said she's out of cigarettes but she's not going to risk her life to go down the street and buy them. I'm proud of her :) But I really wanted to tell her that she's risking her life by smoking them...
I thought ahead and got 2 sandwiches at supper tonight so I don't have to brave the weather to eat tomorrow :)
I was made to live in the tropics not a wintery wasteland.
How much would I have to tip the delivery guy if I ordered pizza tonight? That would be terribly mean.
I wish I had a kitten to curl up in bed with or a fireplace to sit in front of and drink coffee... or both!
I heard of people buying coolers and ice at the grocery store so they could keep their food cold so it wouldn't spoil if they lost electricity. Did they ever think about putting it outside? haha
Though a blizzard is the least harmful natural disaster I can think of, I think I would still prefer something else. Could a heat wave count as a natural disaster? If so, I chose that!
Prepare for the worst. Hope & Pray for the best.
