Is this some future where Donald Trump built a YOOGER version of the Statue of Liberty, or did someone go out and set up their Barbie and Ken dolls in the frozen wasteland?
No, the libertarian method of snow removal is to push all the snow on your driveway out into the state highway you live on, so that you get a nice, random patch of ice for motorists.
Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville, Md., has agreed to take the piglet once the snow clears.
Well they did, and they won, and are going to the big show again. I was so crushed when they got destroyed last time I stopped watching football (also the wifebeating, stadium extortion and other "noble" reasons), but maybe this'll be a better outcome.
Cam Newton lying down on the Arizona side of the field as Cardinal players look on, confused
Maybe he's trying to mind-fuck the opposition?
Alternatively, I heard some sports talking head go on about how the storm from hell will impact the ground, which could affect Cam's playing, so maybe he's trying to adjust himself to it?
I'd be curious to know if anyone has any other ideas…
I feel a tad guilty about my glee–I know a couple of Patriots fans and they're nice enough. But fuck, I am so tired of Tom Brady that I can't stop smiling…
First off, the Bay Bridge sexbot won't tell you that there's still one lane in either direction closed on the Bay Bridge. It's also kind of weird to not see 87 million road cones on either end of the bridge (typically to manage lane directions approaching the bridge from either end), rather just some orange barrels that were strategically placed and probably weight down to keep from blowing around during the blizzard.
From my experience, state roads are fine while county roads have typically been plowed and packed to such a condition that the roads will become a sheet of ice tonight and into tomorrow. Queen Anne's County Public Schools preemptively announced a snow day on Sunday.
I have independently (and privately) coined the phrase "white collar tough guy," who is closely related to the internet variety. This comes from sociological research involving listening into my suburban neighbors shoveling snow.
Everybody knows that the back ends of pick-ups/SUVs/Jeeps never break loose on snowy/icy turns. Four-wheel drive and/or shear testosterone makes the tires grip better or something. Because of this, there's certainly no need for dedicated snow tires while joy-riding during a declared snow emergency.
I have no problem with you trying to pass me on a hill coated with the stuff that one of us has been driving and walking on all evening. I still relish the schadenfreude of watching one such SUV last winter pass me on a hill, only to crest the hill sideways.
Asshole franchisee is asshole. I learned that he bitched at his managers about the lack of delivery service during the blizzard proper. Apparently one of the major competitors was delivering to some extent, so we have a lovely race to the bottom with regards to driver safety.
As predicted earlier, tonight's tips were "pleh." Our delivery service was fairly limited, essentially to "Can you see a state road from your house?" Those who protested would often answer with "But our road looks fine!" but fine enough to expect delivery was somehow not fine enough to come in themselves for carry-out (imagine that!).
One such customer insisted that he had four-wheelers clearing out his driveway for us if only we'd deliver. Considering his location, that would only be a meaningful gesture if we delivered by helicopter.
Tangential: "Draw something on the box!" is teenager-ese for "I don't tip."
Got home, looked for a parking space, found some parallel parking that was clear-ish but could have been better. Got a snow shovel out and tried to take a stab at it. Then I tried kicking it with my steel toes. "Meltwater used HARDEN. It's super-effective!" Whatever, I'm out of the lane of travel and it's not a snow emergency route.
Sort of weather-related. Last night at the cottage up here in the Salish Sea archipelago. Lovely clear skies again, gloriously gibbous moon casting all sorts of light down into the woods and on the moss garden. Very magical, listening to nothing, save the occasional drip from the trees falling into the undergrowth below.
Hard to believe the East Coast got smacked so hard, tbh. Stay safe and warm, everyone!

Good thing the piglet wasn't armed.
Wee Wee. That's adorable.
Also too: Since you put "Day Three" I made this a sticky post for our storm live blog.

My avatar give this post a serious up-cloven-hoof for avoiding four up cloven hooves.
Only took me 20 minutes to clear off my car and now it is weirdly shiny.
inorite? But then I drove 300 feet and my car became a salt lick.
Okay, one last time that the snow has ended: snowfall reports. This could get long. (like usual, I know)

I take it this is the de facto football thread?
FFS, Broncos, as much as it hurts to root for the team that took my guys out I am sick as fuck of Tom Brady. Please win!
But if we were to do a football thread today, this is obviously the perfect link: http://www.theonion.com/article/bill-belichick-vi…
Uhhh. Uhhhhh…Uh.

This isn't a football comment but I thought ya'll'd enjoy this from Nate Silver on Twitter:
"All-time record is 26.9 inches. Came up one inch short. We were basically Bill Buckner tonight, New York."
Nate Silver @NateSilver538 16h16 hours ago
Correction: ONE-TENTH OF ONE INCH.
So far, so good, but no lead is safe against the Patriots. Keep it up, Broncos!
Well they did, and they won, and are going to the big show again. I was so crushed when they got destroyed last time I stopped watching football (also the wifebeating, stadium extortion and other "noble" reasons), but maybe this'll be a better outcome.
PFTCommenter is on fire today.
If u complain for a flag and dont get it the ref should be aloud to make the jerkoff motion until u get your sorry ass off his field
You know who else didnt have acess to tablets for a realy long time? Moses #DoYourJob
Probably unrelated but maybe Gronk shouldnt of downloaded limewire on every tablet. U can get the milfhunter compliations anywhere nowdays
OK, that was a great stop by the Denver D. I'm beginning to have hope…
Oh, thank God!
Here's hoping the NFC game is as exciting.

https://twitter.com/Efawcett7/status/691383942675… Uh Cam, what are you doing?
Maybe he's trying to mind-fuck the opposition?
Alternatively, I heard some sports talking head go on about how the storm from hell will impact the ground, which could affect Cam's playing, so maybe he's trying to adjust himself to it?
I'd be curious to know if anyone has any other ideas…
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I didn't think I cared about this game, so I was unprepared by how happy I am that Brady and the Pats lost.
I feel a tad guilty about my glee–I know a couple of Patriots fans and they're nice enough. But fuck, I am so tired of Tom Brady that I can't stop smiling…
Somebody made the worst photoshop ever:

DAMN, Carolina is on a roll. So much for that theory that the cold weather would fuck with Cam.
IDK, maybe it will affect him as the game goes on but right now I wouldn't bet the rent money on that.
Seems new posts are lost in a snow drift. Is that because the Packers aren't playing today?
Damn…I was actually slightly leaning in favor of Carolina, but now I just feel sorry for Arizona.
OK, it's not looking as if the Cardinals are going to make it close and I've got a couple of things to do. Good night, everyone!
Dear Fox: Just show the damned X-Files already before we fire bomb you.

It's easily the most iconic though.
Also my grandpa was a Mets fan but my dad is a Red Sox fan I'm so torn on what to think about that series
If it's screen door weather, that dog it outside because it sheds around 5 lb of hair an hour.
