It wouldn't be an Arisia without the weather.

According to Channel 7 news this evening, the long range weather forecast.

"Winter returns with a vengeance at the end of next week."

Now what this means they did not elaborate on. It could mean frigid cold, it could mean snow. It could mean absolutely nothing at all this far in advance, as anything that might be coming at us could fizzle out before it gets here.

But so far the Channel 7 weather crew have been pretty good this winter.

Plan accordingly...

Hey, I was snowbound at Arisia a few years ago... It was fun, in our top floor hotel room, listening to the blizzard wind howling outside. And looking out the window and not being able to see the street below because it was snowing so hard. And don't forget the snowman I made with the snow that blew in under the door in the art show.



It wasn't fun to come home to four foot snow drifts that had to be shoveled before we could get in the house.

Snow? What's snow? XD

(I'm flying in from Vegas for this. Yes, I'm certifiably nuts.)

Yeah, seconded. I'll be up from New Orleans.

This "weather" thing is terrifying me. It's 74 out right now...

Oddly enough, the Artist GoH that year was from Texas and his wife (whom he brought along) really wanted to see snow. She got her wish, big time! :-)

Of course, by the time they were ready to fly out, it had all been cleared so it was just a big adventure for them.

Heh, my partner is all juiced about seeing snow again, too. He hasn't gotten his fix in YEARS now:)

I can do without it just fine...

I was beginning to get worried. It's been warmer in Boston the last few days than it's been here in San Francisco. I didn't get snow for Christmas, but I'm glad there is a chance I'll get it for Arisia.

Wow - you come all the way out from San Francisco?? Now THAT'S impressive;)

I did that last year. ^_^ And this year the Fan GoH is doing the same thing. ^____^

I'm a 510 boy, myself

I'm hoping to have flyers for [livejournal.com profile] baycon that will get you a discount. Having transplanted yourself to the SFBay, you should really give [livejournal.com profile] baycon a whirl... ;-D

P.S.: Introduce yourself at-con.
