h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well I've not a clue what they are all barking on about... I've not been out since Monday, when I walked into town with no coat, just shirt on... and I went out tonight, yep, that is ice, yep, that is snow, whats the deal? I don't get it, whaz all the fuss about?

They've all forgotten their roots. Arctic exploration, Hudson's Bay, Antarctic mountain ranges. Paaahhh! The colonies have conquored the cold, wot's with you lot?

The snow's melted!

We've got snow We've got snow We've got snow


The headmistress rang at 7am to say the school was closed. The kids are absolutely delighted. The were very when the southerners, easterners, westerners and northerners had so much trouble and they still had to go to school.

I think they've been doing a snow dance 'cos another blizzard's just started.

We have snow too! No schools closed down here yet, which is unlucky for all those who have their exams this week.

How odd will it look for me to go out and build a ?

Not odd at all. Perhaps the neighbours will join in

It's a great idea, can I come and join in to?

What about snow ?

Certainly.

I'll bring the carrots with me then.

Snow in Denver today YAY!

So pretty isn't ti? Looks like blossom in the apple trees.

We may have to use the Denver snow then - here it's too powdery to do anything with!

Moscow, Idaho. It snowed last night, god d*mn it!

At least I got hone safely before it did. *sigh*

You don't like snow Nyssa?

I don't like dangerous driving conditions..

I agree with you there. I was praying that it wouldn't snow before I got home on Friday. Got stuck in a blizzard for 5 hours once, in a vehicle without a heater, just short of the summit of the last hill before home. 7 months pregnant, with 3 frightened children. The wind was so strong that I couldn't even walk a few steps in it - just got soaked to the skin within seconds.
We were rescued at 9.30 pm, by a squaddie in a land rover who'd ignored people's advice not to try to make it home that night (thank goddess). He had to carry the kids the few feet between vehicles and I only kept my feet with a lot of help (Pity I wasn't in the right frame of mind to appreciate it ).
Dread to think what would have happened if he hadn't come along because the first people past there were the police 3 days later (who were very angry with me for leaving the blankets in heaps where they'd fallen - they said they almost broke in because they couldn't tell whether there were bodies under them. What did they expect us to do for goodness sake - we were in such a state by the time we were rescued the last thing we were going to think of was tidying up! )

Jesus Christ! Good story at least..and as you say, thank goddess you all survived.

Wow. That was dangerous! Good, all are OK!

whoa...that bit about > Tidy UP!

hehehe. Got home to find no electricity, so no central heating or hot water and large chest freezer defrosting with nothing to cook the food on. We made toast over a log fire for 3 days.

And the squaddie had to stay because we barely made it to the house - no way could he get out again. You should have heard the tongues wagging in the village afterwards.
