SNOW!!!!!!

[LedZepMan]

neither would i, and im american. Of course, i dont like coffee.

 

The waitresses on the other hand........

[Krakalakachkn]

I would not touch anything served in an american "coffe"house with a stick.

 

Whoa, whoa whoa!  Pump the brakes!  Don't be hatin' on American coffee houses!  I'm not talking about Starbucks and the like (you can hate on them all you want), but I know plenty of coffee houses that sell delicious coffee from Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Europe.  We may not BE Europe, but America doesn't do coffee completely wrong (except for chain companies like Starbuck...THIEVES!)

 

I have no problem with you touching our waitresses  :D

[Majsju]

Oh come on, if you say something like 'american coffeehouse' of course I am going to interpret that as meaning ginormous chains like starbucks.

 

The kind of coffeehouse you talk about that sell decent coffee, that is in my European eyes just a normal café.

[Krakalakachkn]

Oh you European snob you.  (I say that wishing I was a European snob)

[Jeannaisais]

I'm not a fan of coffee at all....and I'll go to Starbucks just to get hot chocolate with soy milk

 

As for tea....I like my mom's tea.....lol

Funny that anyone would assume that American coffee is sub-standard, since it was the Americans that made the "coffee House” prevalent (though they were more what we would call a bar now days) after the demise of Tea trade with the colonies.  Perhaps you didn't realize the best coffee in the world is made on our side of the pond, see Blue Mountain Coffee.  While I can give a nod to the Roots of Coffee being closer to the Europe it would actually fall to either the Turks or the Ethiopians for the creation of both the drink and the houses, the French for the first espresso machine, the Italians for the proper Espresso temps and pressures, the Germans for the Filtering process most prevalent today and the Americans for the canning processes that enabled the magical little bean to be kept fresh and long term storable.  Coffee is worldly by the shear scope of hands involved but the best “Coffee houses” in the world are in the states, as a Coffee house is a state of mind, of freedom and expression they have been as the core of social rebellion since their original inception.  So perhaps my friend you can stroll down the street and grab a cup of something where ever you are, but if you are speaking of a “Cup of Joe” then there is only one place on earth you will find it.  I would advise you simmer down your snob and have a bit of humble pie in an American Coffee House.

The snow has returned...and I am now officially fed up with the stuff. This is the third storm in as many weeks. Roll on summer!

[Talya]

It's snowing here, first time this winter and I'm stuck at home. Can't get into work!!!

 

 

[Corki]

I did manage to fight my way into work (the tube was working), but I am watching it get heavier and heavier outside. I have the Transport for London website up and monitoring it closely. I do not want to get snowed in at work...

[Talya]

Well i had trouble getting out, the car slide and I couldn't get it out of the street, so had to have help to turn the car round. Luckily the kerb stopped me going all the way down and hitting other cars. So I thought it best not to go in. There aren't any buses running here neither. So can't even make it out the village!

[Corki]

I say we have a good 3-4 inches by now...with more to come. My parents have between 8-9 inches in Wales.

[Talya]

We have about 6 inches here

[Jeannaisais]

I'm about to get the third snow storm within a week...first one was 10 inches, second was about 4 inches and today we're suppoed to get another 3 to 6 inches and I'm supposed to go to work today and tomorrow....

[Corki]

I think we should be more worried about global cooling than global warming...

[Jeannaisais]

Sounds like it! But of course my best friends...one went to Texas and then other went back to San Diego....I wanted to be a stow away lol

[Canis Rufus]

Snow tomorrow...... mabey

[Jeannaisais]

Snowed all day.....and may still be snowing :(

[Corki]

Thankfully no snow today...just ice. But the snow is forecasted to return at the end of the week and over the weekend...and heavily where I work as well...

[Jeannaisais]

Snowed almost all day yesterday, most of the night and I believe it is still snowing! And I'm suppposed to make it to work today, awesome.

 

I just hope the weather clears out by next Friday so my flight to see my boyfriend, and meet his mom, step-dad and grandparents, doesn't get delayed/canceled!

[Canis Rufus]

Calling for a wooping........

 

 

 

 

 

Wait for it.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.............. A light dusting!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah thats right get out the chains and buy up all the milk and bread its going to be a DUSTING!!!!! I amy need to shut the window! or turn up the heat!! Run for the hills.... (that is if you want just a smudge more snow)

 

So yep no real snow here...  :-\

[Jeannaisais]

I can't remember the last time we got this much snow in Misouri

[el Nynaeve]

The UK makes me laugh, a few inches of snow and we all grind to a halt. We got about 6 inches as well here with more to come. I had to go out yesterday and the car slid around the corners from all the slush and ice. I also realise that I hate shoveling snow. :P

[Corki]

I personally think the London transport network operates better in this terrible weather! It is working pretty much as normal, so I don't know why I am not seeing more people using it...

[Canis Rufus]

Yep that blast of snow (readm light dusting) Darn near trapped me in this morning (readm I didn't want to go to work).  Yep it was looking bleak out there last night (readm I was getting stomped in Halo).  Luckly we had enough supplies to get through the thick of it (read, i made Hot Coco).  It was scary for a bit as supplies were looking slim (read, no marshmellows).  But we stuck it out and managed to live through it (read, we started winning some games).  Yep these blizzards are going to hard on us for a while (read, nothing really just scarcasm).

thats because it isn't part of our normal weather, especially not recently. We haven't had a cold spell like this for ages (years and years). In the south we are lucky6 to get a dusting of snow. So it's no wonder that things stop. We're sup[posed to have mild winter not this. Tyhough I'm not complaining, it's better than wet and windy :)
