Snowpocalypse
Snowpocalypse: Tales of the End of the World | Black Mirror Press
22 posts | 2 to read
The calendar says the first day of summer, but a jealous snow wraps the world in a white straightjacket... Winter will not relinquish its throne and the polar vortex is plunging south. Icebergs gleam in the Bermuda Triangle and snow is falling in the Amazon. Blizzards swirl across the Sahara and the world has become a snowglobe from pole to pole. Is this the coming of the next Ice Age? Can anything be done to thaw the Big Freeze? Join seventeen talented authors from around the world on their expeditions into the Snowpocalypse and read the chilliest tales ever written.

The weather reports change multiple times a day for the expected snow we are supposed to get this weekend. This meme popped up on my Facebook feed today and it was perfect. ❄️❄️❄️❄️

LiteraryinLawrence Sooooo accurate lately! 3y
candority I didn‘t realize that this was a meme at first, so I read 0 to 85 inches and was so confused/mad 😂😂😂 3y

Estimated time of power restoration is Monday by 3 pm. In the meantime I‘ll be hanging at my mom and dads.

BookishMarginalia That sucks! I‘m glad you have refuge nearby! Stay safe and warm 💜 3y
CocoReads Luckily for me my parents never lost theirs. I‘m betting because it‘s the one house in our family that‘s got a whole house generator. If we had been prepared, we probably would have been fine. 🤣🤣 3y
CoverToCoverGirl Yikes! You‘ll have time to play cards! We‘re getting this throughout today and overnight. Our first major snowfall of the season. 3y

CocoReads @CoverToCoverGirl we had a foot of snow on Christmas Eve then it melted and then it rained. Yesterday the freezing rain came, then the snow. At one point we had 32k without power. It‘s down to about 24k now. 3y
CoverToCoverGirl Wow! Just what you all needed.. not! Hope power is restored ASAP.. what a miserable mess.. be safe, if you need to get out to work drive safe. I hope we‘re not in for the same mess, it‘s coming pretty hard right now but no freezing rain yet. 3y
CocoReads I don‘t work til Monday so I‘m in good shape. Oldest has to work tomorrow but it warmed up just enough that we‘re slush 3y

1. Yay (the pretty and soft version that doesn‘t stick to the roads)
2. Yes
3. Sleep, eat, read, veg out
4. Been looking forward to playing in the snow with my boys. Haven‘t had a decent snow day where everyone was healthy and could enjoy it. Hopefully we‘ll break in the brand new, 2 year old sleds this year!

1/ mostly nay but occasionally yay.
2/ about once every 5 years or so.
3/ stay inside and read and drink tea.
4/ see number 3.😄 Seriously, when it does snow here, it‘s enough to shut us down but it‘s not enough to make snowmen or to any other kind of snow activity.

BethM It's hard to imagine that little of snow! 5y
KathyWheeler @BethM As an adult, I‘ve only lived one place where it snowed regularly — Manhattan, KS — and that was only for a year. 5y

1) In reasonable amounts at reasonable times of the year, then yes; but I've never found Mother Nature all that reasonable.
2) Yes. I live in Minnesota, so very much yes.
3) Nothing.
4) Drinking cocoa

1. Nay! I hate being cold ❄☃️ I do love how pretty snow looks when it's not been trampled thru yet though. All glittery and stuff
2. Yes. I'm in Pennsylvania so it snows very, very much!
3. Drink some hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and read.
4. Sled riding with my kids ❤

1) Nay! I admit that it can be pretty, but the first snow of the year always bums me out. I just don't really like winter.
2) Yes!
3) Stay in & curl up with a book & warm drink or watch a holiday movie. Maybe baking or a hot bath...really any indoor activity. 😊
4) Sledding! As a kid I also liked ice skating and playing King of the Mountain on massive snow hills. Weird how winter never seemed that cold as a kid.

❄️ Meh. Pretty, but so many people are bad at driving in it.
❄️ Oh, yes. 3-5 inches expected today.
❄️ Stay inside under a blanket, with a book or a craft project if the wind chill is bad. A little outside time with the kiddo and the dog if it‘s not.
❄️A walk in the park.

I guess it‘s time to pack up my outdoor reading spot. I feel like I hardly used it this year. And now I‘m curious about the tagged book.

MicheleinPhilly Wait, what???? Where the heck do you live??? 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Yup. It snowed here too yesterday. We probably live in the same place. 😆 6y
JacqMac @MicheleinPhilly I live in Alberta. On the wrong side of the wall, with the White Walkers. Lol 6y
JacqMac @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego We probably do, because where else would it snow in September. I always hope for a mild winter, but not this year I guess. 6y

After brushing about a foot of snow off my car, I decided I deserved a treat. I also broke down and got a kindle. Next up audiobooks.

Sorry I haven't posted yet. I drove through 100 miles of this today. Actually, most of the trek was much worse, this was a spot I was finally comfortable with snapping a quick shot of. Steep inclines, severely meandering roads, massive ice patches, completely unplowed roads with drift walls, downed trees & limbs, passing by stuck trucks & even snow plows, it was one helluva drive! 😂👏🏻 Now, on to your regularly scheduled program...

KarenUK Be safe! Looks treacherous 😬 7y

Donna_sBookMinute Too bad your trip couldn't be postponed. On a positive note, you didn't have to worry about traffic. Safe travels. 7y
KarouBlue Wish I were there! I love ❄️! 7y
Soubhiville Scary! I learned to drive in that- no joke- my dad taught me to drive during the winter in the snow. He figured if I could do that, I'd be safe in anything 🤣. The funniest thing is, now that I live in TX, if there's any snow or ice at all, I won't leave the house. Because the other drivers terrify me! 7y

Montreal people rarely have snow days because they refuse to admit they've been beaten by the weather. But I think this guy might have a hard time with the car tomorrow...

UPDATE: they got it out! Montreal resilience strikes again!

And it is STILL SNOWING!!! This is a fair amount of snow, even for here, so thankfully my school called a snow day today. That means I can get caught up on some marking, and then that stack of books that has been eyeing me... Yay!!!
