So, um, how much did you lose?

I panicked on Friday and hedged by taking an equal amount on "over 10 inches." So I was basically laying 2:1 that it WOULDN'T be 6-10. I realized 30 min later that I had taken a mildly bad bet and turned it into a horrendous one. I haven't seen the official numbers yet, but it looks to me like we were right in the wheelhouse. We're going with whatever total they announce for the weekend as of the 10:00 news on kare 11.

It will be a huge letdown if I tell you the actual dollar amount, so we'll say I laid 500 to win 250.

I was so disappointed. We barely got 8 inches. I was ready for '91 Halloween all over again.

Yeah, 8" ain't [censored]. When I went to school in the Upper Peninsula, it was pretty much like this every day from Oct-April. We'd average 250" per year.

I'm pretty pissed off that I missed this. We don't get any snow the entire year and when we finally get a nice storm I'm in the middle of [censored] Kansas.

[CrazyEyez]

Another foot is on the way.

[censored] this mother [censored] state. It's been like a year and a [censored] half since the last 60 degree day and there's nothing good on the horizon. Meanwhile my new golf clubs are [censored] rusting in the garage. Looking forward to spending 9 hours commuting to and from work tomorrow and friday.

Yeah, this is my first winter in these parts. I've dealt with it pretty well to this point, but I've had enough. I'm going to be one sulky mf if my Friday afternoon flight home gets canceled.

This has seemed liked a pretty mild winter, are you in the Twin Cities?

[Soul Daddy]

No, I'm in the sticks. I'm sure it's been mild to those who are accustomed to it, and like I said it hasn't been that bad, but it's just lasted too long and I'm ready to be done with it.
