The snow started

For anyone keeping track of these things, the snow they keep warning us about (last I heard, the advisory was from 3pm today until something like 5am tomorrow morning) has started in earnest at about 1:30pm, here in Downtown Bend.

  1. this just came across my rss feed:
    Heavy Snow Warning In Effect From 3 Pm This Afternoon To 4 Am Pst Wednesday Above 4000 Feet

    Isn’t Bend at 3500 ft?

  2. It’s a little lower, I think, more like 3000-3100. YMMV, of course–Awbrey Butte for instance is a bit higher 🙂

  3. "Bend’s elevation is 3600 feet"

    I stand corrected, then. 🙂

    Barney nailed the YMMV acronym. Though now I have this (mean?) urge to start throwing out all the various internet-spawned acronyms, just to see…

    BTW, LOL, LMAO (those are easy)
    BRB, AFK, BBIAB, BBL
    AFAIK, IANAL
    Ever-popular IMO, IMHO
    OTOH, IIRC
    RTFM, right up there with WTF 🙂
    ASL (or A/S/L)

    …I’ll stop.

  4. When I got to work yesterday, it was bare, but by the time I left at 5, we had 10 inches of snow. Oh what fun… (took me over an hour to get home).

  5. Hmm, learn something new everyday, apparently.

    I don’t know what these mean:
    AFK, BBIAB
    AFAIK, IANAL
    OTOH, IIRC
    ASL (or A/S/L)

  6. Okay…

    AFK = Away From Keyboard
    BBIAB = Be Back In A Bit
    AFAIK = As Far As I Know
    IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer
    OTOH = On The Other Hand
    IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
    ASL = Age/Sex/Location (chat room trawling)
