Snow Call!
I just got done with round #1 on the driveway, snow up to the windows on my car say 30+ inches. 'Course, the durned plow keeps coming by and, yeppers you guessed it, "refilling" the entry way to the driveway............:rofl:

Even though you didn't ask I'll tell you anyway. I spent 25 minutes this morning just trying to get my car shoveled out since Heather didn't have to work today. Then a 20 minute drive took 45 minutes. I fell in a pile of snow I've been building so far this winter. :soapbox: My drift is over 5' tall I just got a little too close when trying to throw the snow over the pile.:mad: Anyway it's a littler warmer today (22 right now)but it's still snowing like a *****.:mad: :mad: I hate this weather!!!!!!

Just thought I would checkin from Pitt. We have a lot of snow here!
It is kind of nice though. It slows things down here in the city. Just a day of relaxing and watching some good Kenpo videos :)
Hope everyone is safe and warm. Good journey!

Round 1 was yesterday.. alot easier to deal with being light and fluffy.. I still think a blow torch woulda made the job alot easier.. and me without a pair of boots to my name..sneakers get wet and cold fast.. we were all out for a few hours yesterday.. with 5 vehicles in the driveway.. figured we would knock down some of the damage and make it easier on Round 2.. which Seig just came in from.. he's been out there with a very unruly snowblower that runs for approximately 1 foot.. then dies.. restart the beast.. another foot done.. oh it is not good for someone without patience.. and he just had it in for service last fall.. just for days like today~!! I came in when my 2nd pair of sneakers were sloshing around my feet.. made a huge pot of homemade soup ready for the guys when they came in.. their hunting overalls were literally frozen zipper wise.. but they are in and the vehicles have been jockeyed around according to use.. He's got The 3/4 Ton Pickup ready and waiting for him to head to work tonight.. I suggested a nap.. but got a reply.. *If I need a nap.. I'll take one"* Fine.. I said.. *G* Men~!!!
Keep warm all.. Jason.. I sure commiserate with ya.. You can get lost in those snowpiles~!!!
Pete.. I know I don't have to say it.. But Drive careful tomorrow.. we cancelled class tonight.. much to Seig's chagrin.. ~!!
Josh.. Keep things going up north for us.. Be safe and keep warm ~!!
Tess.. MOooooooooooooo.. warm :)
As I type this, my next door neighbor is mowing his lawn! :D
Sorry .. nothin' but love for y'all! :)
I'm with Tess though .... why don't they just hand out flame

Will you guys PLEASE QUIT STEALING OUR SNOW! We are in a big time drought here. We've had only about 3 storms so far this year that left snow on the ground and that melted within two days each time. Our snowpac is 32'' below absolut critical minimum. Our reservoirs were 30% below normal before the start of winter. Most of this winter has been shirtsleeve weather. We're going to be takeing dirt baths this summer.

This is kinda like telling Africans to move where the food is LOL. You guys should really think about about a change in Latitude. I'll pay some of the highest taxes in the country for a state and put up with alot of the BS that goes on here in California just for the oppurtunity of having this great weather. The last time I shoveled snow was in Rantoul IL., Dec 14th, 1981, but I did it for work, not to get to work LOL.
Have a great Kenpo day

I'm tired, sick, and fed up. :wah:
Yesterday I departed for work at 6am, and the storm barely began. By 2pm, I heard the evening nurse was in a car wreck, and I could leave when a replacement showed. By that time I realized driving 30 miles home, to return the next am, after shoveling with bronchitis, was going to be unfun. I arranged to shack up with a local colleague- and called my hubby to feed the cat for the night.
My replacement got in by 5pm, not too bad, and I went home with Nicole, the local nurse. Her husband has a snowblower, so we were in luck. (Also a hot wood stove- and lots of cold beer).
5am this morning we're clearing the foot of snow that fell after the foot we'd cleared last night. (27" here). I went to work in the same clothes :rolleyes: which amused the patients (hey at least they were laundered).
I left work this afternoon sick, but fairly unscathed by events. On the way home, a huge chunk of either ice or concrete fell from a highway overpass onto my car roof, huge dent in the roof and a shattered winshield! Scared the bejeezus out of me. Thankfully it hit the roof- if it was 6" or one second earlier I'd be dead.
So now the car's out of commission. The first appointment for an estimate of damage is thursday. (Lots of business it seems).
It's always something. On the plus side- I'm forced to stay in tomorrow and rest & heal.
So here's hoping everyone here is safe & sheltered. :cheers:

Pfff, at least you have a good reason to be fed up with snow. But I was stuck yesterday in a traffic jam caused by..... drumroll here.... 2cm of snow. :eek: Yes, you've read it right, less than an inch of snow.
And some ******* with a truck or something slide in the road and got stuck in the middle of it, so they close the road. :mad: :mad:

Well this morning I dug out again:rolleyes: . I had to make 3 stops in to work this morning just to beat the ice off of the wipers so I could see:mad: . Anyway during 1 of my stops (the 2nd) I slipped on some black ice at the dr. office I stopped at. I ended up ripping the s*** out of my hand blood oozing everywhere :soapbox: . Still needed to drive the other 13 miles to work in this crap. Anyhow now the sun is out and waiting for the next barrage of snow to come through. It should actually be thursday or friday.:( I hate winter!!!!:soapbox:

Well here on the lovely left cost of Canada it's sunny and the flowers are blooming. We did not get a single flake of snow here on the Island this winter, although the temperature did make it below freezing a few times. When the Olympic Bid Committee shows up in Vancouver this week to inspect the city for the 2010 Winter Olympics and sees all the spring flowers rather than snow, it will be rather hard to convince them to hold the Winter Games here. They'll probly think they flew too far and landed in Hawaii!
We would have been happy if you Americans would have shared the snow around a bit! Now we will end up with a summer water shortage due to low mountain snow pack!
Someone must really have pist off 'Old Man Winter' this year, cuz he's sure playing mean jokes on us all! :(
We actually got freezing rain here. All highways have been shut
down, and the city is practically at a stand still. I had to take 2
hours to get into work, because God forbid, some criminal might
have to wait an extra hour or two before getting released.:shrug:
