too cold to use the washer fluid. I'm thinking of filling up with magnesium chloride.

I've had the standard stuff freeze up before too. I used that orange shit that was good to like -30 during the winters in VT.

Hey...I think I've seen a video like that...
My gloves I left in the car were frozen from the little bit of moisture that was in them from the day before.

I know! I drive so much better with my skin stuck to the steering wheel. Keeps me from messing with the radio.

-19 in Laramie. so my son decided to drive the 3 blocks to class. he said the bronco shifted like there was molasses in the gear box. he couldn't find a legal spot so he figures maybe the cold keeps the meter maids inside. after class it won't start. D'oh!

They aren't human...they'll find you no matter where you're parked, no matter the time. Eerie, actually.

Here we go Steelers, here we go!
I had no idea it was so nice out today! I guess I really should leave my cube once in a while...
Texas weather is the reason I refuse to eat lunch in the office! When its late January and I can go outside in short sleeves, you bet your bippy I'm going to.

18F currently here. Several inches of snow plus the sleet that fell most of the day yesterday has closed most business and schools.
Glad I have a copy of AutoCAD2007 and a calculator so I don't have to work this weekend.

I really gotta applaud my town for doing a great job with the snow removal. They have convoys of plows going by during and after the storm. They keep the sidewalks clean too.

I really gotta applaud my town for doing absolutely nothing in the face of the first winter storm of the season, even though they had at least 3 days warning that it was coming. We had 5" of snow Monday night, and when I was heading in to work on Tuesday, it didn't even look like the interstates had been salted, much less plowed, and the city streets were almost impassable. All day yesterday, and last night, we had freezing rain and sleet. Now all that powdery snow is covered by about 3/4" of ice. The interstates were better this morning, but the secondary streets were much worse. Now it is basically blizzard conditions, and they are predicting another 3" of snow on top of the ice and snow we already have. The ice is bringing down power lines and trees left and right, and our power company has already reported that 75,000 people are out of power. So far, 53 out of 88 employees at my company have called in saying they aren't driving in this crap, and the ones that are here are basically just standing around talking about the weather. What a useless day.

4" of snow when I got up this morning... plows on the parkway carved a one lane meandering path down a three lane roadway... no one know what lane they were trying to clear.

we got about 4-6 inches. My husband took this new job to be home more, so I didn't end having to shovel all the time, but it never fails, he goes out of town and we get snow deep enough that requires shoveling.
