Yeah, we're canceled today too...

Not so much because of snow, but because of this:

It's just freezing rain right now, switching to snow later for about another inch on top of all the ice. So we might be off again tomorrow due to the fact that 60% of students here are commuters.

Edit: Sorry pics a little blurry, it was taken through my ice covered screen.

I love all the snow! Shoot, I'd be lost in a park right now if my foot didn't hurt (ingrown toe nail). I am in love with winter.

I have a long driveway, and i have to shovel it when i get home from school.

So i got to the halfway point, look back, and the shoveled part was covered again, so i quit.
I give up easily, but now my sister's G6 coupe is gonna get stuck for sure.

Oh well

Behemoth lives in the same city as me, wonder how hes doing...

Oh yah, and we got our snowmobile stuck today already. All that hard packed shoveled snow, thats higher than the snowmobile itself, doesnt like them.

Ha, you beat my edit about the snowmobiles.

Shes not very good in snow, she got a Mercury Couger(and Ford Probe the year before, but not as bad) sideways in our driveway the one morning at 4am.
I was not happy, it blocked my mom in, and my dads a reserve police officer, so he was with them.

So, me, in pajamas, 2 police officers, my sister and mom, all trying to move it.
Very fun

We actually had some flurries this morning, im sure all the stores will be out of Milk and Bread. Never understood why people rush to the store to buy perishable items... Those are going to help so much if your snowed in for a long period of time. Vienna Sausages FTW!!

nope, i live in Cedar Springs on the weekends though, about 40 some miles south of you.

a good place to ball up that way is Empty hopper in reed city, great buncha people owned it last time i played. indoor was a little cold, but it was fun and their paint prices rocked too.


i go to college in Lima ohio at UNOH right now.

I see.
The PB Club here was playing out of empty hopper last year. I was not fond of the place. Not a fan of the carpeting they use on the indoor field (it is just placed, not a attached at all), and I like outdoor more anyways. The owner sure is a nice guy though.

i forgot about the carpeting, if you wanna make an hour drive, go to mayhem sportz, its in walker, indoor, air bunkers, heated, turf, probably one of the top 10 indoor fields in the country.

I just wish they could keep one owner, they are on like 7-8 now.

Colors (Fremont) now has a massive indoor - we kept dirt floors rather than having to deal with cement, heated staging, and a massive field :) .

I'll be sure to play both sometime. I do not have a marker here as now (not allowed in dorm) and it is too cold to keep in my car as of now. After SB I will bring a marker up here and I'll probably be playing at least every other week :shooting:

I was out there for over 4 hours, that car would not move, it just sat there and wouldnt stop spinning.
Oh, and that green escape in the background in the last pic, is my mom's, she was NOT amused.

That happened on I-75 (about 5 minutes from here) about an hour after I made my first post.

According to the news stations, the officer had just pulled the woman from that red car and thrown her onto the median before the truck struck.

Edit: Better video (with sound) can be found here: http://www.wlwt.com/video/index.html

Yah, the highways are bad. By me, a semi lost controlled, and hit a pickup truck, both rolled off the side of the highway and went down onto another road under it, but they ended up on their side.

I dont know how both of them are fine after that. Did you see it happen?

My dad had everyone go over to see it when it was horrid out, then we went to Dragon Gate for chinese food at 15mph.
