***SNOWPOCALYPSE 2013***

Really, March? Really? Is this the best you can do?

 

This place was featured in a famous Thief fan mission. It is covered by snow now.

A trellis. Snow has buried it. The pine tree doesn't seem to like the snow either.

"The City of Mediterranean Impressions" (no kidding, that's our marketing slogan), main street. If the picture appears blurry, it is because there is a snowstorm going on. Snow is sometimes falling upwards due to the wind tunnel effect.

...and Yours Truly after some shoveling, and before a whole lot of tea:

What I meant to say, there is a lot of snow around here today.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Not around here, at least nothing this severe.

Thanks for sharing. =)

 

By my country's standards that isn't very much of snow. At present there is easily knee deep snow layer in areas that have not been cleared. And the snow has been melting and compacting a bit during the last weeks.

What surprises me the most is that you look absolutely NOTHING like I imagined :blink:

Most people here will not look like their avatars. :P (In your case I really hope so :D )

In your case it was funny for me to think about you sitting in front of your keyboard constantly laughing totally mad while typing your messages in! :laugh:

LOL That's my mental image of Obsttorte as well.

 

And I don't look like my avatar anymore, since I filed my horns a little

Okay, it's hard to compete with SeriousToni's picture (and anyone from Finland would probably win over that). Actually, it's not the amount of snow that surprised me (it happens, although it's not common), but the storm itself. I took the pictures in a relatively calm period; when I was going home from work, visibility was way lower.

 

Also, I am now starting to wonder how people pictured me. Probably nothing like my old avatar (which is a Hammerite icon).

Hah! I instantly recognized that first picture! :D

Well, we have the same stuff here in France, but since I live 2 kilometers from the Mediterranean we still have the sun, but lots of wind lately. However some of my friends living further north don't even have power in their homes and the snow has been a pain in the ass for a lot of people.

Here in the middle of Canada we've already had our average (110 cm) and we still have another month or so to go :( . Were suppose to get more again this weekend. So tired of it. Oh well, we at least know that someday it will melt and sweet glorious summer will put in an all to brief appearance but long enough to get us through the next winter. (One can hope :smile: ). Having some trouble posting and wanted to add that my avatar does look like me in fact when I see myself in a mirror during a mission I have to stop and wonder who that is. :laugh:

Funny thing is, I *do* look like my avatar :D

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
