    I have a friend that lives in near D.C. and on his bad days he gets 55Mb/s from speedtest. His phone gets that same speed on good days. So bullshit, what takes me hours to download, takes him like 10 mins.

    It wasn't really that bad here, enough to have a nice cover but that's about it. It rained most of the day afterwards. Ice was a bit of a problem too. People just don't seem to know how to drive in winter here

    Hindi will be a little difficult to read quickly for me. Words written in Devanagari are completely connected via a line across the top. The bulk of the alphabet hangs off the "clothesline" as it's called.

    Conjuncts just make it more confusing. Not hard, per se, just confusing.

    I think it's a combination of problems. People don't know how to drive in snow here, and they barely salt the roads at all, so the ice is just atrocious. I don't care if you know how to drive in snow or not, coming down on a pure sheet of ice on a hill is rarely going to end well for anyone.

    I don't think it was actually four inches, that's just roughly what was on top of my car. It's all frozen solid now, but it basically turns into slush in the middle of the day. It's just the morning and the evenings that are bad. Hopefully we don't get too much more. As much as I love snow, the wet slushy crap we get out here just isn't any fun.

    That, and the guy who ploughs my parking lot is terrible at his job, and if we get too much more snow I won't be able to get my car out of my parking stall.

    I'm dreading going out in an hour and a half (my cheque goes in yay) As I'm sure everything is freezing now and not looking forward to walking in it. I need smokes though.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it all melts within a week anyways.

    The vast majority of it will be gone by Christmas, I'd imagine.

    I heard it was pretty rough over there. Apparently my dad's commute to work took him almost 3 hours this morning. Or yesterday morning. The email wasn't quite clear.

    Also, for some reason I got really excited thinking that it was payday for me today as well. But that's not until tomorrow evening.

    Dammit. Got my hopes up for nothing.

    According to the news it was pretty much to a standstill really early this morning. Mainly due to buses and trucks not being able to get up hills. Also a fuckton of little accidents all over.

    Sounds about right. I always forget about how many hills there are out here until it snows, and I realize there's no way in hell I'll be able to get my car up some of those hills.


    Okay. I'm going to go find something to play, then call it a night. One more day of work, then I'm off until Boxing Day.

    Just watched The Hobbit. Hated it.

    In other news, more Walking Dead uploaded.
