<i>You realize it's going to get worse as the day wears on, right?</i>

"Getting you to work safely is our concern. Your getting home alive is entirely up to you."

I'd piss myself laughing, but it would freeze and I wouldn't be able to walk.

Callyson, I'm being paid to live in gay-munist San Francisco for a while, and it is awesome. It rained for a bit, but now it is temperate every damn day. I'm from (the)O.C. , live in ATL and this is reminding me why fucking real estate in Georgia is so damn cheap - no damn ocean or skiing. I blame my parents for wussing out and leaving Anaheim in the 80's. I fucking love my car, but I haven't driven in a month and don't regret leaving it in Hotlanta, MUNI passes and a very expensive ,convenient apartment rule! Now I just have to convince my fiancee to take the bar and move here.

Feral Chihuahuas? As in wild packs of little <i>hairless</i> rat-dogs? Critters with tiny little bodies and <i><b>no</b> fur covering ?</i>

Oh my, won't the wolves upstate have fun with them! ("Hey, check out the dogsicles! Ah-woo-woo-woooooo!")

Also too, the rats in NYC will welcome the canine hors-d'oeuvres. ("Ooo, we're having Mexican tonight!")

I advised my city friends to take refuge in one of the upper floors of the NYC Public Library, where they can burn furniture and priceless antique books to stay warm, just like in that movie. Because otherwise they'll be sorry when the great tsunami hits Manhattan and <i><b>instantly</b></i> freezes into an ice sheet 30 feet thick after the temp suddenly drops to negative-colder-than-fuck°F, which will really mess up their cell phone reception...

When told that a Blizzard is on the way, Chris Christie replied that he'd also like a Peanut Buster Parfait and a Dilly Bar.

Are any of our fearless Wonkette writers left in DC or NYC? Back in the day that was the place to be. AND to complain about the weather (summer and winter).

After warning us all week, it turns out we're getting a half-assed 4 inches or so. Big whoop.

I send all my worldy wealth to Wonkette every month.

Main problem here, with an actual blizzard (i.e. with wind and stuff), is that all the snow that might otherwise settle gently onto rooftops gets blown down onto the streets, which comprise maybe 1/4 of the geographic area of the city. You end up waist-deep in a 12" snowfall. It's like being in Buffalo, except not as bad - and with less snow also. And that's before they plow it up over the parked cars. After that, it takes <a href="http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/q4dufvf" target="_blank">extreme measures</a> to get your vehicle out.
