For tha win

Today. Pwned everything in the face. Good day. Am happy. That is all.

Snowpocalypse, 2011

So I went to sleep last night with the anticipation of maybe, just possibly, not having school. The evening forecast called for 4 to 6 inches of snow locally, but that might end up being later in the day. I first awoke at 4 for some reason, looked out the window (obviously couldn't see a thing as it was dark; DURP!), and then checked my phone for the school update. Still no official closing from Fayetteville Public Schools. But that's normal for them; usually they don't let us know until 5 or so. Hope is not yet lost. Wake up again at 6:30; still can't see outside, but do check the phone once again. "All Fayetteville Public Schools will be CLOSED on Wednesday, February 9, due to the winter weather." SCORE! I don't so much care at the moment to check and see what it actually looks like, so I go back to sleep.
Finally, awake for the final time at 8:15. I'm not a person who sleeps in that long, so this is actually late for me. Look out the window this time, as the morning has arrived. Except one problem; I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OUTSIDE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH SNOW!?!? This is odd. Last time we got 7 inches I still could see at least out my own window. Something is amiss. I go downstairs and look out the back window, as it is the most reliable place in my house to define how it is outside. OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!?? The back porch has AT LEAST 10 inches of snow on it already. Absolutely insane. It continues to snow heavily for another 5 hours or so, dropping close to 2 inches an hour. Final day's tally- 20 INCHES. I haven't seen so much snow since I lived in New Hampshire, and I hardly remember that. We all thought that the storm we received last week was bad; this one can't even compare. Imagine thinking that a small poodle was bad because it seemed vicious, as you have never seen a dog as so before. Now, go ahead one week, and you then encounter a MASSIVE German Shepherd. You believed at first the poodle was the most frightening dog alive, because you haven't seen anything scarier. The German Shepherd changed this idea completely. A terrible but simple analogy/comparison to the snow/ice storm of last week to the snowPOCALYPSE of today. Absolutely insane. Folks, welcome to Alaska...ahem, I mean Northwest ARKANSAS.
