So it's started proper snowing last night, forgotten what it's like to walk through snowy sidewalks to work.

I think I'll get used to it, not sure if I'm happy or not about it. Snow is nice when you have a quiet weekend, but daily commuting is harder now. Still trying to adjust to a lot of personal things too, I don't know if this will be a good distraction or just make me feel worse.

Walking on snowy walks isn't so bad, unless it's a lot of snow or its a wet snow that turns into ice following a deep freeze.

If there is a lot of snow or if it's a wet snow and there is a deep freeze on the way I make sure to shovel right away. I know I appreciate it when people do such, and I'm sure people appreciate it when I do such. Just an act of kindness.

Well I live in an apartment block, so no shovelling for me. Otherwise I would do likewise I guess.

The walking isn't too bad, it's rather wet around my work and home though, a bit slushy which isn't as nice.

At least it'll be nice and cozy in the evenings or weekends.

I used to live in Australia, now living in Canada, it's quite a different climate. It's still a novelty to see snow falling like this though.

There is some snow on the ground right now, not much though. Plus it's too cold to shovel!



**** that ;p That's Janurary type weather, winter has hardly even started yet. It's not supposed to be this cold. I have noticed though when it's this cold the air is really dry and it doesn't snow much.

Start looking, the sooner you start looking, the less time you have to grind it out at a place you don't like. Remember, run TO a job, not FROM a job.


I tried to take up fencing as a sport/hobby in the last week, good lord it's expensive though :( I've got a free trial week I can use at a club near work, but it's so hard to get to without a car (and in the snow). I might have to put fencing on the back-burner and pick it up when I'm more able, it was so much fun when I tried it!

Sorry to hear that man, hope everything turns out okay.

Feel like a dick for wanting to come on here and complain about my 55" Toshiba HDTV dying on me today. Can't do that shit now after reading up on your problem..

Really sad to hear that Mariano, I hope you and your family can come through this ordeal well my prayers are with you.

Can you see if you can get some extra time on your exams? I'm not sure about Argentina but here in the UK during this period students who are undergoing a difficult period are given some leeway on their exam dates.

Hope everything works out for your family, please keep us posted.
