I realized that any walk I took could never approach the epicness of an official Jebwalk, so I decided to go for something completely different......a WV version of a Jebwalk on an ATV. I intentionally left off my face mask, so I could appreciate the sandblasting from the cold grit at simulated 30MPH winds, and every time I opened my mouth I was able to ingest copious quantities of the beautiful dendrites being force fed directly into the esophagus. That IS an OFFICIALLY EPIC JEBWALK. Man I LOVE it! lmao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a surprise What was the original expected duration of this event? IIRC we're starting a bit earlier than anticipated, which may be a good sign that this thing has a little more juice than we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Why did this have to happen at 2am? And why am I 41 y/o and still awake to watch an inch of snow fall? lol There has to be a brain malfunction in most on this forum...I guess it's more of a support group.

Jebman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The 8th was a Friday, this storm too started on a Friday night. We might have to start The Friday Rule with snowstorms this low sun season. Its 21 degrees with steady light snow driven by a northeast wind. The road and cartops are steadily whitening due to a steady fall of tiny snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have GOT TO SEE THE SNOW, whether it is 1 inch or 1 foot or an all out historic 34 inches. THAT'S why you are 41 years old and up watching an inch of snow at 2am. I'm 53 and I am up watching a quarter inch of snow fall. I'd be up all night for a car top coating You all think YOU got the Sickness? I watch this Everest movie over and over and over again. I love to watch Beck Weathers come back from the Dead and I love Everest, and I love all that fresh snow and the -30 degree COLD!!!! And that spectacular, REFRESHING, negative 100 degree wind chill up there, in zero visibility! On the Hillary Step, no less! I LOVE THIS! I have seen it over 20 times just in the past WEEK! Sure I'm sick, Rotten to the Core! lmao Man, I yearn to climb that mountain so damn much.............. It would sure be one hell of an EPIC, EPIC jebwalk for the Ages!

Speaking of school, I remember pulling combined study/jebwalk all nighters in undergrad for winter 13/14 and 14/15.

Jebman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 19 degrees and steady snow. Roads and sidewalks, driveways, tops of cars, tops of fences, roofs, all caved in but good. Refreshing weather continues, with a gentle breeze. Good chance of us cooling down a few more degrees. I'd say about a sixteenth to maybe an eighth of an inch of snow so far. I got my cartopper. It looks like this has a chance of overperforming based on my expectations, which was for SnowTV to a cartopper only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I just went on a walk outside. You could for sure call it a Jebwalk. So silent outside, and the snow accompanied by bitter cold is perfect. Glad this storm seems to be overperforming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
