Congratulations to everyone and thanks for playing!

* Today Neopia is under a

BLIZZARD WARNING!

... in the Month of Swimming?!

* Amidst all of this snow covering Neopia, a few new pets have been seen around the Petpet Puddle and they appear to be made of snow!

* Originus the Plushie Tonu and his owner, anefurrie, have just won themselves the Site Spotlight award with Perfectly Plushie.

* This week's PPL award has been given to the Snow Sludgy. Well done Icky_Goo, The Sludgester, crudbucket, Spunky Brewster, and all the others.

* Watch out! The Better Than You contest might get a little hot with Scordrax as your competition.

* There have been reports of some strange events happening around Happy Valley and Terror Mountain. Maybe you should head over there to see what's going on!

* Even the Art Gallery seems to be snow themed today.

* A new Lenny Conundrum competition has begun. The answer to last week's was 7.91 cm. 497 people guessed the correct answer earning themselves 4025 NP each.

* In the latest Caption Contest, it seems a Tonu isn't getting the weather it expected...

* The new Story Telling competition has started, and it will be extended until next Friday since this week is so short!

"You have great potential, my son, very great potential. The road to the top of the mountain is very long and difficult, however, and there are no shortcuts along the path. If you stray to search for them, you will only become lost."

* As long as all of Neopia is getting snow, why not head to the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop and get some new snow food!

* Congratulations to geena04 for winning the Pirate Cave Of The Week with Crate Jump.

* And finally, why not remember this blizzard with a Background of Mystery Island covered in snow.

I deleted my thread in favor of this one.

So... what's going on at Terror Mountain? I don't see anything new.

[JCMidore]

Woops. I was just about to post saying I was a minute late.
Me either! I looked around hoping for something but.. nothing. D:

[Ellaie]

I looked around too, then I remembered that its technically tomorrow's news, so whatever happens will probably be activated at 12:00 am NST (like the dirt pie at the Symol Hole).

[Officer 1BDI]

You know, I never did get that dirt pie. Or a reply from TNT on my lack of dirt pie.

[Magica]

I just remembered about the winter sidebar. Maybe we might be able to get it tommorow?

Good thinking!. Let's hope it will be that sidebar. Never know. Maybe a oneday Advent Calender prize for "Christmas in July"?.

Could we perhaps be getting our Altador Plot prizes as well!?

[Officer 1BDI]

Actually... when I first read that, I thought they meant more Cup-related prizes, but now that I think of it, that doesn't make much sense at all. The Cup is done, so maybe those "more" prizes are for the plot after all.

*crosses fingers*

Edit: I just realized if I get a Yooyu for a Cup prize, I have no pet to attach it to.

[farside]

There's still the Altador Cup Staff Tournament to be completed in the next day or so.

[bethi]

So . . . is the Ice Cream Cart in Terror Mountain new, or has it just been too long since I went there????

Oh wow. If they release the Yooyu, that'll be great. I'm still in the process of matching
about.. three or so of my pets, so I'll have an option or two atleast. It's a shame I only scored around 13 points though.

It's been too long. When I saw it at first, though, after a long time of not playing Neopets, I had a response, so don't feel bad.

seems to be an animation when you go to the advent calender, but no prize, for me at least.
