Snowpocalypse bingo!

I have long loved Erica Smith of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and stltoday.com, so anytime she posts something, I’m on top of it.

My hometown of St. Louis was hit by a lot of snow Monday night and Tuesday morning, resulting in days off school and horrible commutes. So, Erica put together this snowpocalypse Bingo card using words used by meteorologists. If you’re watching TV and a meteorologist uses that term, you get to cross that off.

The beauty of this is that you can regenerate the card as many times as you want, never getting the same one. Here’s a screen grab of the Bingo card I got:

Web Comic: Ya Know It Gets Cold In Boston, Right?

It’s been a month and a few days since I moved to Boston. It’s a great city, with a golconda of opportunities. There’s an active arts community. The umpteen colleges and universities provide no end to the conversations I get to overhear on the bus and at coffee houses. And the Red Sox are discussed every day, even in the off-season.

But one thing trumps those things in the perception of Boston.

“Ya know it gets cold, right?”

I’ve long hated “Ya know (fill in the blank),” but now, I fight the urge to scream whenever I hear it. Because it gets cold here, ya know.
