That's not (just) a grainy photograph, it's just a hurricane blizzard in the evening.

Photograph is from when a massive snowstorm buried my hometown several years ago, with crazy winds, freezing temperatures and icy snow that effectively sandblasted anything not protected.

This tag being featured reminded me of this picture, as it's one of my favourite snaps from back home

Oh by all means, take your sweet effing time, Sampson

And the more we mistreat nature (cough couch climate change cough cough), the less it's going to let us live.

I am convinced the 24/7 light during summers must have bred some pretty ticked off sleep deprived vikings.

eh, you get used to it, besides it's not like you can't block out light while in a building.
