Haha, that's funny, considering I live in Alaska and we have no snow yet.

Okay now that's just not fair. XD

If I had to guess, I'd say the snow there will probably melt. I know we don't get snow that stays until late October / early November.

Oh most certainly. It's a light snow, but it's still snow. It just doesn't seem like it should be snowing yet at all, though I suppose it does usually start at around this time of year and that it's really my internal chronometer that's off. Besides, this is Vermont, we have 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter, and Construction

Lucky... we only have two seasons: winter and construction.

XD Indeed.

where are you? texas? why is it snowing? TELL ME DAMMIT!!! I WANT SNOWWW!!!!!

I'm in Vermont. It is snowing because this is Vermont. Snow needs no other reason other than this being Vermont.

ITS SUMMER HERE IN VERMONT! AND ITS FUCKING SNOWING! HEEEEELLL YEAH!!!!

you must have some really awesome slip n slides durring the summer.

The concept of it snowing in the summer is terrifying. XD It had better not. But this is Vermont. It's possible.

Digimon...
ITS SNOWING, DERP.

I got a few flakes of snow here in Pennsylvania while I was working outside. I believe it's mocking me. Curse you snow! It's not winter yet! I can't use my hands if they're frozen! It's impossible to do tedious tasks with gloves on.

It's a conspiracy. The water vapor and the temperature are conspiring against us.

Exactly, how am I suppose to put up electric fencing when my hands are frozen? I can't be wearing winter gloves, it's very tedious work and I need to know if it's working. Luckily it only took a couple hours then a quick test just to make sure I am getting current current through... which I am. At least I'm done for the day and get to stay in the warm cozy house.

Who needs amp meters to test electrical current? We have our bare hands!

It's just not fair. I tell you, global warming had best hurry up and do its job. I certainly wouldn't miss shoveling snow in the winter.

If our ozone continues to deteriorate our nights would be colder, especially during the winter and out days would be even hotter in the summer. If it gets any hotter during the summers I'm going to have to get a second lair in Alaska. Better not to tempt my luck in Northern Canada with those mounties riding around, they're like Chuck Norris on horseback. One of these days my spies will aquire their secrets of free health care, if I can only get one of them to come back alive. I have tried using zombies but they're just simply not intelligent enough for espionage and my coachroaches can't penetrate their defenses. Their secret headquarters is just too clean, they're immediately captured and disposed of. This situation has perplexed me for quite some time. It appears the only solution to capture and brainwash Chuck Norris himself! But such a task is nigh impossible without an improbability drive.

Although I could just not have a lair inside an active volcano but where else would I have access to so much thermal energy at such cheap rates? If only the dam AC repair guys would come fix the thermostat! They won't fix it without me filling out extra paperwork and charging me an additional fee. Something about it being a hazardous working environment. Which is funny cause they had no problem installing the thing. I would fix the dam thing myself but Nooo that would void the warranty!!! And they think I'm an evil mastermind!

You think a volcano is bad? Try the Moon! It's a miracle I manage to keep the thing running so smoothly. Sometimes I have to leave the fuel rods for the nuclear reactors lying around just to keep the heat stable. But you know what they say, duct tape fixes everything. It certainly does a good enough job keeping the atmosphere in. Now if only I could manage to get the alarms to stop going off constantly...

Wow and I thought I was cheap. Although you did spring for the moon base. Personally I wouldn't be able to stand it, it's either always day or always night. Perfect for observing activities on the earth though. You won't have happened to come across a giant tinted dome hidden away in one of the craters on the light side of the moon? I've been using a couple hundred high powered surveillance camera's to record video of certain places of interest to me and the picture has been coming in fuzzy. Also there seems to be something smeared on the outside of the protective dome. At first I thought it could be dirt and dust from a small meteorite impact but upon closer examination I found i could not retrieve footage of the incident and that the substance appears to be more slime like and it has a greenish glow. You wouldn't know anything about that would you?

By the way I have found several ways to get the alarms to stop that may interest you. If at all possible I find smashing them with a mallet to be effective especially for the flashing lights but for the speakers if you can't get at them with a mallet I find either a very powerful concentrated jet of water to be effective or a powerful magnet. I'd advice against the magnet though if you value any computerized information or AI in the vicinity.

Why didn't you try building one on Mars? I hear there's lots of space and that the natives can be friendly and quite helpful especially if you're a misunderstood genius building a doomsday device. You would also have access to thermal energy hidden deep within the core. Better off than using those nasty fuel rods, the waste by product is such a hassle to deal with and then I wouldn't have nuclear waste on my surveillance dome!!! How the hell did that happen anyway? I had thought you were ejecting barrels of the stuff into space taking pot shots at the earth. And there's very little gravity and no atmosphere, how is it even possible for it to be on there!?

(Am so enjoying this way too much, why can't I harness this creative energy for my stories?)

Indeed, the Moon is an excellent place to rule the Earth from. I had considered Mars, but I figured that the Moon would be a good first step. Besides, I'd hate to imagine the shipping costs if I had to sell my Cuddle-Wuddle Zombies from Mars. It's just more convenient. I have easier access to both my subjects and dummy corporations from here. And the fuel rods aren't that bad. They're very handy for baking. Someday I'll make some progress on The Device and I'll be able to harvest energy from super-novae in other universes.

Hmmm, I'm afraid I haven't seen your surveillance dome. I spend so much time in the basement with the zombies or in quarantine thanks to the horrible mutant super-plagues that I don't get out to the surface much anymore. The zombie-cyborgs guard the entrances and that seems to do the trick. I haven't had to execute any CIA agents myself for a few hours now. I suppose it's possible through some perversion of physics that one of my waste barrels managed a complete orbit of the Earth and then crashed back into the Moon, though that would certainly be shoddy aim on my part...

Indeed, though if I disable the alarms completely to stop their nonsense about radiation poisoning and atmosphere leakage then they won't be able to warn me about the really important things. Like when someone starts taunting the bunnies in the petting zoo. Horribly dangerous creatures, bunnies. Especially when taunted. *shudders*

The reason you can't harness this creative energy for your stories is precisely the same reason I can't. I don't know what the reason is, but even so, haha.

No snow here in the northern Rockies yet, in fact it's unseasonably warm. 50s and 60s when last year it was in the 20s. Nice while it lasts, but I'm sure it wont for long! XD

Lucky you. XD It's already stopped snowing, and none of stuck, thank goodness for that, but I'm just not ready for it to be that time of year yet, haha.

You and me both. I'll usually take snow and cold over heat and humidity, but changing from one to the other always makes whatever's next seems worse.

Yet another good reason to live on the moon! ^_^

Yeah, I'm like that too, haha. I tend to prefer early spring and fall, when it's warm in the sun but still generally crisp and cool. I'll have to change the tilt of the Earth one of these days. It might destroy the ecosystem, but damn it the temperature will be comfortable! XD

Ah yes. I don't have to worry about weather at all up here, though sometimes it can be a bit complicated keeping the life-support systems running properly.

I want to know who decided to tilt the earth in the first place? Seems like a slip-shod thing to do, leaving your construction project leaning to one side... That's why you should never go with the lowest bidder! XD

I don't know, the Italians seem to get a kick out of tilted architecture. Maybe it was their idea.

but I likes snow?

I like it well enough to look at, but not when it's cold in the house too, haha.

merely gives one a reason to find an affectionate another, curl up next to a fire and snuggle ^_^
