Hey! It's Been A Tad Cold Up Here!
14 years ago
General
Glad You Could Stop By! Please, Come on in and Soak Up The Greatness!
What in the name of Celestia happened to the month of January???
Oh yeah, I both worked and froze my mane and tail and hooves off! XD
What a hectic past few weeks. I think I spent maybe a total of eight days at home in my toasty bed the entire month since New Year's. All the rest was spent sleeping in the Cessna or at aeroports. I've just been that overloaded.
And seeing as how this January was looking like one of Alaska's most brutal, it's no wonder! I haven't seen a temperature above the -20's in four weeks! The last week alone I was between Barrow, Prudhoe and Fairbanks, where the temperature was a light-jacket-only -65 to -40 degrees. So not only did I have to worry about my jillies freezing...I had to worry about EVERYTHING freezing! lol
I am a cold weather fur...no doubt about that. But this cold...on top of the layers and layers of snow we keep getting, has made this one of the harshest winters I can remember. Planes haven't shiut off for more than ten minutes unless inside because of engine freezeup. We had a huge disaster in Nome not being able to get fuel into the town. Anchorage was getting sacked with almost two feet of snow a day!
And you lower 48ers are having mild weather and temps in the 50's! What the heck??? lol
So taht's why you haven't seen yours truely at all this first month of 2012. The weather and work are conspiring to keep me away from your glowing faces. But luckily i made it home this weekend...only to find snow, snow, and more snow to contend with. But I guess we're not the only ones taking the brute hoof of some nasty Windigoes. From what I've heard, Europe seems to be getting some heaping helpings of the wintery blast as well.
You have my sympathies.
So yeah, I've been away for a few weeks. That means I have dozens and dozens of submissions to ctach up on, a few back episodes of MLP: FIM and my Bronyville Podcast to catch up on, and a month's woth of story ideas to get started on and posted. But fear not, no amount of blizzard snow and frigid air can keep Rocko WordScribble from delivering important and warped stories to you, my fellow friends!
Although I will be away this weekend in Arizona, already breaking my New Year's resolution of not doing any travelling. Oh well, it's for an important plane-buying mission! XD (Yay! New wings! Fluttershy Whoo-hoo)
Besides, that resolution was going to be broken in June when I go to the next Bronycon in New York. *shrugs* Can't win em all!
So, just an update taht everything is still in order up here in Alaska. Hope to get a chance to read and comment on all the works that have filled up my in-box. Just take care of yourselves and enjoy this decent weather you all in the lower 48 are soaking in.
Until next time,
For the hundredth time, it's not us! We're not making it snow! It must be the unicorns! They're doing it with their freaky magic!

But you can keep your -65 degrees. I'm British. I'm suffering enough with standing outside all day in -1 temps. *sniffles then sneezes*
