Hey...I live in Kansas and we are having some pretty bad weather...My whole town's power has been out from around 2AM till about now (3PM)...I have been dead bored, I went outside and slid around on ice for a while but other then that I have been stuck here at home, we went out for a drive to look around and alot of trees have fallen and people's cars have been ruined...Our house / car is fine...Earlier today the power came on for like 2 min...I was sitting at computer and I yelled a few nice words when it went back off lol...Anyone else here live in Kansas and having bad time? and what do you all do when power goes off...and on top of all that my ipod battery was dead! lol lucky me ehh?

Im not in Kansas, located in Montana
The weather here has been really cold. Roads icy and such...but no property damage. (Thank God for that).
When the power is out, me and my friends get together and play Monopoly, and go sledding. (And we are adults, hehe)

Im in the awesome Cali-for-nia and it's about 55 degrees, not real warm (i'm also not on the coast or anything about an hour and half from it). But its sunny, just a little chilly.

I live in Pennsylvania so the weather just sucks all winter. Usually when the power is out I will use my laptops till the batteries run out, then go outside and snowboard.

Finnaly the power is back on, after I posted that around 45 min later it went out, and stayed out all night rofl I think its back for good now...the storm is for the most part over and This morning when we went around looking...all the power in my whole town was out and up at the ALCO (department store) the parking lot was filled with cherry picker trucks...and they sat there for like 2 hours and finally got going...Idk what they needed two hours to do but they sure did take it tongue.gif

Sweet. Make sure those bindings work with your board because burton uses their own drill pattern.

Oh yeah they do, dude the board is sweet man. I'll post a picture. But Burton is worthless with it comes to bindings lol. Bad ass bindings, stupid patterns.

Cool snowboarding boots/setup. Burton bindings rock, skiing is a lot more enjoyable however.

i heared of that weather must be pretty bad.
but maybe they should not use those small wires for electricity there, would be better if they layed them under ground they are way safer there and it saves lots of repairs and trouble in these times
Colin
Lol yes but what if something happens and they need to fix the lines and have to dig through snow and ice to get to them...They have had the power back on for a while now...I hear we are getting more snow and low temp. in the single digits tonight however...
Paranoid
Eeep!
Single Digits! ohmy.gif
