Thanks Unexpected Snowstorm For The Sore Back and These Nice Pictures

There’s just something “wonderful” about a snowstorm that all forecasts say will only drop 3 – 6 inches (~7.6 – 15 cm) of snow in your area and you wake up to find that 19 inches (~48 cm) of snow has fallen. So on the day I was planning to write a few posts up for The Null Set – maybe get to a few winter impression posts or mention how much I’ve been liking Kobato lately or get to my top 2009 picks or figure out what else I should do with the 400 screen shots I took from the latest Gurren Lagann movie – instead I was out shoveling snow. I can’t really complain, though, I saw video from the mudslides in California and I have to say that I’d prefer snow removal over mud removal any day.

While I was out today, I took a few pictures and figured I’d share since it’s not everyday that a person gets so much snow dumped on them. 🙂

What’s Even More Unbelievable Then Going Through A Time Loop 15,513 Times

This recently released map is meant to show how far from average the continental US was from the average June. These maps are released by the NOAA – a federal agency – monthly and are just one of the many things there in charge of.

Why am I bothering to write a post up about this map (and why did I mention Haruhi in my title)?
