~~**-- The Weather Thread --**~~

^ I measured a little while ago and we are up to 7" here.

They still haven't plowed my neighborhood, meaning I ain't goin' nowhere. Either they are too busy keeping the main roads clear, or the Town really got caught with their pants down.

wus ^ It wasn't too bad getting to work today. Getting home might be a problem though.

I wish we had snow, instead its just cold as balls. And by that I mean in the low 30's.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

They cleared my neighborhod around 11 AM. I attempted to head in and made it 5 minutes before turning around. You can't even see pavement on the main roads in my town.

I turned around after 5 minutes because it was such a mess. I don't think they've put any sand/salt down in my town. I was sliding all over the place. I'm kinda tempted to make a complaint to the highway department.

We've got 6 inches up here in MN.

Also, we bought a snowblower over the weekend. I'm one happy guy!!

c'mon, quit being such a pansy. Just ride your bike to work if you are to scared to drive.

It's a balmy 50 degrees here, with nary a cloud in the sky.

I just looked out my window and discovered that the parking lot is empty! It's like someone told everyone to go home because of the weather and forgot to tell me!! The snow is coming down pretty heavy right now.

It's a lovely 78 degrees here with beautiful blue skies...but it is supposed to get down to mid-60's overnight!

How was the ride home? It's pretty much stopped now but it was heavy a while ago. I think they must have finally put some salt down around 2 or so. By around 3 PM I could actually see real asphalt on the state road.

It's been pretty cold around here, too. I had to put on a long-sleeve T-shirt the other night. The thermometer showed 78, but the wind chill probably had it down around 70.

 

[frazil]

^ sounds rough dleg. How do you stand it??

The drive was fine.

 

[Hill William]

Hey DV,

How was your commute last night and this morning?? Took me about 35 minutes (instead of 12) to get home last night. Took my wife an hour to get from downtown Fairmont to my house on Kingmont. Definitely treacharous.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

7 degrees this morning! w00t!

 

[jfusilloPE]

We just went through a cold spell the last couple of days. Tuesday evening, around 8 pm, the wifey and I ran to the store and the thermometer in the Tahoe said it was 59 degrees, and then I woke up Wednesday morning and had to break out the old coat...it must have been about 55 degrees outside and I had to put the furnace on because it was only 73 in the house.

 

[kevo_55]

Damn, it's 2 degrees right now.

I cry because I had Dleg's weather a little over a week ago. :bawling:

 

[Hill William]

7 degrees this morning! w00t!

Damn, you beat us, it was 9 when I left this am.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I leave my thermostat at 62 overnight and when we are out. I'll indulge myself and turn it up to 66 when we are getting ready in the morning and hanging out after work.

 

[MA_PE]

Damn, you beat us, it was 9 when I left this am.

We were up in the teens, like Dleg I had to put on the long-sleeved T-shirt.

 

[cement]

wholly crap am I screwed. We have half a bridge closed for emergency deck repairs, and it snowed a foot last night, with the same for today and tonight. The candy ass contractor doesn't want to put 360 degree deck sealer into the puddles from the ground heaters. :smileyballs:

I'm figuring 6 hour delays with all the ski traffic Saturday morning if this don't get paved.

 

[mudpuppy]

Winter storm warning with 8 - 12" of snow forecasted here today and tonight, with blizzard conditions tomorrow. I'm not griping--I love snow; but, my Bronco picked the worst time to crap out! I'm supposed to go out tongiht and I really don't want to try to get my little Aveo through 8 inches of snow. Guess I'll be in the garage all day trying to fix the Bronco.

At least I should be able to test out my new toy: a 24" two-stage snowblower.
