We’re getting pelted with another big snowstorm in Blacksburg.  We’re supposed to get about 15 inches of snow… whereas Northern Virginia and the D.C. area are supposed to get somewhere around 30 inches… wow.

I think we’ve had more snow in the past two months than I have ever seen in my past 4 years in Blacksburg.  Kyle Nette and I drove around Blacksburg looking for some nice hills to snowboard down or something… managed to find a really nice long run down Clay Street in downtown Blacksburg.  Night’s not over yet though… the snowball fight on the drillfield will probably start within the next hour or so… I think I’ll sit this one out.

Macbook owners know that these little babies can get hot enough to cook an egg on sometimes, but I’ve never had my laptop get as hot as it did the other night… the CPU was measuring at a scorching 196 degrees fahrenheit!  I managed to figure out a nifty little way to cool it down though.

Made my first trip ever to Snowshoe, WV for a great Saturday of snowboarding. I brought my D90 along with my Flip Ultra HD to get some footage of us on the slopes. I also picked up an Opteka Camera handle off amazon for some following shots… D90 video isn’t great but I managed to put a bit of footage together:

It’s really cold here in Blacksburg… the Duck Pond is almost completely frozen over:
