A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Damn Snow!

Well thanks to the DC area snowstorm, we got somewhere around 32″ of snow, which is enough to stop everything in my region of the country.  So if you guys were wondering why there was only one Modblog update Friday, or why there was no BME Girls Calendar entry, the fact the snowstorm killed my  intranet at home is why.

I am back at work today, using the internet here, but most likely I will be snowed in (and possibly with out internet)  tomorrow and the next few days, as we are expecting another foot or so of snow to pile on.

Anyhow, I searched BME high and low for a submission that could possibly sum up how I feel about the snow and the impact it has had on my life recently.  I think I found it, this tattoo may not be amazing, and normally I would probably overlook it for posting to Modblog, but today it just speaks to me.

Another snowman tattoo that speaks to me was already posted, but in case you missed it, or weren’t a reader in 2007, check it out!

Don’t fret Modbloggers, I will be back with a few more post today, including the BME Girls Calendar entry. Hopefully, even if I am stuck at home, my intranet should be working and I can continue posting. If not, I will see you  guys when it warms up, maybe around April?

    here it doesn’t snow (in my city, it snowed twice in 100 years, but now we’re melting. after a whole week without any mark below 27 degrees, and reaching more than 40°C, it started to rain. in 3 days or so, the amount of rains doubled the average for the whole month!!

    Sean are you from MD/DC?? It is so bad here. Since this area isn’t used to this much snow, nothing has been plowed. I do relate to that snowman tattoo! haha.

    I work in Fairfax, right outside of Dc and Live in Winchester, up in the mountains, so I am with you on the snow and lack of plowing.

    As someone snowed in here in Crystal City (Arlington, VA), I wholeheartedly agree. They’ve plowed ONE F’n road in the county over 2 days since the snow ended.
