Somebody tell me again why I live in the NorthEast?

Dec 11, 2008
It's 05:25.
We're having an ice storm & they say it is going to snow later.
The power has been out for hours (I'm at work, & we're on auxilary/generator)
Estimated time for restoration of power - to be determined.
All I wanted to do when I get home is go to bed - now, I have to make sure the critters are warm.
Crap.
Did I mention that I hate winter?


btw - the phones are out too, not that I care, since I leave mine off anyway.

Looks like you will be snuggling with some snakes when you get home!!! I feel your pain Harald. We have been getting pounded with snow here in the Midwest.....

Harald

I spent some childhood years in New York. I agree that winter storms are miserable and disheartening. I hope that you and the critters get warm soon.

I'm in PA, I hated that storm, I was suppose to have a snake shipped out that day! Screwed up my whole start of the breeding season :/
And what about the snow we got in Novemeber?!
I have lived here 18 years and I can't ever remember having snow in Novemeber!
It usually doesn't snow until late January!
I want to be warm

Maybe I'm misreading this, but are you planning to breed an animal that you are just getting shipped? I noticed you buying a lot of animals, do you practice quarantine? You might want to do some research on quarantine and the dangers involved in failing to do so.

I really wonder sometimes why I live in Iowa. I'm really starting to hate winter, it was fun as a kid. Most people around here are expecting one of the worst winters we've had in a long time. It doesn't help with the fact I'm stuck with a cast on my foot and crutches, little slippery for me to try to go out.

That's what I meant.. In getting her shipped out later, It is taking me longer to quarentine. Thus backing me up, not long, but backing up none the less.

Here is some interesting info, it's a good idea for everyone with reptiles to read.
