Butler County is under a Level 2 snow emergency this morning, meaning driving should only occur out of necessity.Dispatchers from the Butler County Sheriff's Office were not clear as to when the driving restrictions would be lifted — if at all considering the National Weather Service is predicting a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain throughout the day.

By Ben Blanchard BEIJING (Reuters) - Troops are fanning out across large swathes of China hit by snow storms which have killed about 50 people as Premier Wen Jiabao apologised to stranded railway passengers ahead of a major holiday. The government has ordered almost half a million troops and paramilitary forces to help those cut off and suffering shortages of food and power, though there is little sign the weather will abate soon. Unusually icy temperatures, snow and sleet blanketing much of central, eastern and southern China have crippled thousands of trucks and trains loaded with coal, food and passengers in the most severe winter weather in half a decade. A bus plunged more than 40 metres (130 ft) from a snowy mountain road in the southwestern province of Guizhou, killing 25, the Xinhua news agency said, adding to another 24 killed across 14 provinces. Wen used a bullhorn to tell train passengers stuck at Changsha station in southern China he was sorry. "I am deep
BEIJING (Reuters) - A bus plunged more than 40 metres from an icy mountain road in southwest China on Tuesday, killing 25 people, the first known major accident caused by snow storms which have plagued parts of the country for weeks. The bus, carrying 38 people, plunged into a valley in the impoverished province of Guizhou, Xinhua news agency said. "Initial investigation blamed the tragedy on the unusual snowy weather in the region over the past days," Xinhua news agency said. "The road was covered with a thick layer of ice and the temperature was about minus 2 degrees Celsius, a sharp contrast to the usual warm winter climate." Thirteen people were injured, two seriously, Xinhua said. The bus, with a maximum capacity of 35, had left Chongqing municipality and was bound for the southern boomtown of Shenzhen. Icy temperatures, snow and sleet blanketing much of central, eastern and southern China for weeks have crippled many thousands of trucks and trains loa

For Illustrationfriday.com Theme for this week: Tales and legends.I thought of the fairy tale Snow-White. The becoming mother sheds some drops of blood in the snow when she is sewing by a open window. The castle is surrounded by hills and mountains. Some snowflakes is falling and she is dreaming of a child white as snow, black as ebenholts and with lips red as blood...Original Color pen drawing on paper. Size 27 x 20 cm or 10,5 x 8 in.
Today is one of those days that comes along every few years. The air is crystal clear and the mountains that surround the Los Angeles basin are covered with snow.

No, it's not a type of boat (that I know of)... it's this funny white stuff that falls from the sky.
I had originally intended to skina lot of the bow today. Then I wound up working all night (28 hour days are a bit much). After that, it decided to snow. Snow is NOT something we get much here in Atlanta. Really pretty, and Dane had a blast.
Had to knock snow off the shed a couple of times to save the weight, but otherwise, it's surviving ok. Hopefully I can work on the boat Monday (holiday for me) if not tomorrow afternoon.
Yes, ther'eis a boat under there somewhere...

I know ThinkProgress noted here (h/t Atrios) that Tony Snow poked out from under his hidey hole to spout freeper propaganda on the writer's-strike-affected season premiere of "Real Time" on Friday ("everybody gets it wrong at the beginning of the war"; some day, elementary school classes of some other country/planet/universe that comes after us will study how the arrogance that gave rise to that statement helped denigrate every aspect of our political life, to our ultimate ruin if things keep going the way they are).I wanted to take note, though, of Snow yakking about "voter fraud" when Maher brings up the issue of the integrity of our voting machines (a typical Repug tactic, and watch how seamlessly he transitions to "REAL ID" in the clip below, but then Catherine Crier quite rightly notes that no case has been documented, and Snow quickly says, "Are you kidding" but then changes the subject without providing evidence, and kudos again to Crier to stating how important it is to have a

I'd pick Belle anytime.I think the advantage Belle has over all these other fairy tale princesses is that Belle actually got to know the Beast and by doing so, fell in love with him.Unlike Cinderella or Snow White or Sleeping Beauty, they just either woke up with a guy in front of them to save their day, without even knowing who the heck that guy is.As for Belle, she got to know the Beast at his worst and still loved him. And who would have thought he would turn into a really rich, handsome prince?

Presently, there is two-feet deep snow in the upper reaches and a few inches of snow cover the vast expanse of this meadow. "Gulmarg is ideally a winter destination. With immense possibilities for the winter sports lovers, the real magic of this place comes to life when everything is covered by a thick blanket of snow," said Farooq Shah, director of the state tourism department.Gulmarg snow festival was started in 2003 to promote winter sports and tourism here. "The festival has been a great attraction ever since. Each year, we get hundreds of sports and adventure lovers, honeymoon couples and other tourists who come to experience the magic and thrill here," Shah said.The three-day snow festival begins with Christmas mass at the old church here, which was renovated in 2003."We are having many events during the festival which include night skiing, ice skating, snow rugby, snow cycling, sledge racing and traditional cultural programmes."Gulmarg has sufficient hotel accommodation with cen
R Kelly didn't make it to Cook County for today's hearing into the child porn charges: he blamed the harsh winter in America, although the real reason was Utah police discovering his driver hadn't been recording details of his driving hours and enforcing an eight-hour delay before letting the Kelly tour bus out of the state.It's not entirely clear why Kelly couldn't have found another way out of Utah - it's almost as if he wasn't that keen to turn up in court.The judge has warned he'll be issuing a warrant for Kelly if he doesn't turn up tomorrow.
WoW Moviewatch: WOW Snow MiserFiled under: Machinima, Humor, WoW Moviewatchrocko1016 must be feeling nostalgic. He put together a machinima based on a character, Snow Miser, from the 1974 Christmas movie, The Year Without Santa Claus. In the movie, Snow Miser has the ability to control the weather to make it cold all over Earth, but in the machinima, he can control it in Azeroth. The video itself doesn't consist of much, but the timing and animations are great!

I downloaded this last year and had the happiest time with it! It's Desktop Snow for Windows. It's a "free trial" program (the program costs $10). It has no limitations but it does have a nag screen. It is customizable-- you can have light snow or blizzard snow. You can choose the have the snow build up on the bottom of your desktop, and have the wind blow it away. It really is adorable.I had it on a computer with barely enough memory, and the program ran OK. But when I had several big programs open (like Firefox, OpenOffice.org, and a media player), the snow stuttered a lot. You can shut it off or turn it on at will. Whoever made this program did a really good job. Fun!

I just saw the commercial for that goofy Christmas Shoes movie. As IF the whole song wasn't bad enough, those shoes are FREAKING HIDEOUS!! Enough to put any sick person over the edge...You know the commercial that grabs my ass? The Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage ad where the Sun is making breakfast for his wife and kids. Not the Moon and the Stars, mind you, we're talking human family. They're rushing off to school and his wife is rushing off to work before he reminds them that he will be lighting up the entire East Coast in a few minutes. Now I'm wondering how one would even meet the Sun, let alone start dating him? And how could one have sex with the Sun...you know without burning up on contact? Sometimes you just cannot suspend disbelief, no matter how hard you try. The boss had The Today Show on while she was eating breakfast, and Ann Curry was kissing Brad Pitt's ass. He's decided to build homes in New Orleans for the hurricane victims, and the announcement was so astounding that h
The stomach is a favorite storage place for fat. In fact, when your stomach has an overabundance of stored fat, it can look like the round belly of a snowman - especially the lower part where most of us really carry "the ball." If you can relate, don't worry, there is some good news! If you work consistently and keep changing your ab exercise routine, you can melt that snowman stomach faster than you can imagine. Here are 3 exercises to start you off. But don't forget that, ideally, you would do a different routine on every ab workout day within a given week. 1. Lying Lower-Ab Lift Belly Melt (melts your lower-ab "pooch") Position: Lie flat on your back, with your feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Put your hands behind your head for support (not to use to pull you up). Movement: Keeping your shoulders flat on the floor and lifting only your hip-butt area from the floor, flex your lower abs as hard as possible. (You can also flex your upper abs, too.) Return to start and repeat un

Ah, a theme I can't resist revisiting on occasion. The weather.The bottom fell out on fall temperatures two weeks ago, leading to an early, and hopefully, temporary onslaught of winter. Yet, it has been two weeks now, so who knows?The first week bought some light flurries several days, followed by an early snow storm. In fact, this was the biggest one day snow since I've been here. This was followed by another day or two of light flurries, followed by a steadier and heavier snow last Friday.But there are positives to it. Just look at this picture I took last Friday.Technorati Tags: winter, Kiev Photos, Kiev Weather, Kyiv, Kiev
