not heavy. only a few inches. but it hit right at rush hour on friday so there were tons of cars on the road which made for lots of traffic jams, fender benders, impatient drivers etc... and im pretty sure charlotte has like one snow plow for the entire city.

Could the winter olympics have started any worse or more tragically?

Sad. Watched a vid about it on ESPN. I was also watching some of a documentary someone posted in a thread on the gb about the crap residents of Vancouver and Whistler have been dealing with in being an Olympic city. Bad day for the Olympics in my world.

From what I read Vancouver olypics looks more and more like a fail. What a pity.

R.I.P. Very bad designed track, the video of the crash is just brutal.

Survivor Spoiler Weekly vol.2

***It was only matter of time till clash of egoes on the Heroes tribe. Too much cobntrol freaks. Prime example of control freak is Stephanie, however JT failed ot lead them in the challenge and many people spoked up not just JT and Steph. James was unbelievable and probably will be even worse. I like Tom Westman trying to keep it cool, I like him on this season so far. I think Rupert havent done abnthing useful for his tribe yet, nor in camp nor in challenges (except grabing Rob in the first one).

On the other hand , Villains work like well oiled machine - only in challenges. Otherwiase they just dont care and just joke around. Happy to see Boston Rob being OK after last preview. All that King Russell stuff trumphing Rob with a chicken over clam...this has to to lead to something hilarious soooner or later. Dont miss that Coach and Jerri went for a crate in one pair...still I cant see them controlling the game Rob and Amber style, lol.

all the big egos will get voted off quickly, i think. and you will be left with a group of people who flew under the radar, kept their mouth shut and worked hard.
