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

Normally I put my Charger in the garage when it snows so I only have to clean off two cars instead of three... teaches me to be lazy last night... I only bothered to clean off the Jeep and my wife's car this morning.

Come on rain, time to switch over and clear off the driveway for me!!!

Yeah, I live in one of those states. We got 1" of snow this morning and it caused a bunch of schools to close and snarled traffic. Ah, to live in one of those states where people know how to drive in the snow and where the municipalities have adequate snow removal equipment.

Here in MA they're equipped to handle the snow and SOME people know how to drive in it. Unfortunately those woh don't impede any progress by thios eof us who do.

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.

Yeah. especially when most of the snowstorms/plowing is on weekends/holiday --->OT!!!! Our local paper already has stories about the city crying about the snow budget (or lack of) and how the OT is doubling the cost of snow removal. We still have 6-8 weeks to go minimum and one year we had ~12 in. on April's Fool 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.

Fatigue and "other factors" start to come into play when these guys work 24 hours straight to get thier double and triple time rates for working 24 hours straight. Of course the the straight time is opften sittin around waiting for that first flake to driop and then sparking up the blades plowing 1/4 in. snow.

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.

Time to invest in a snowblower.

I should be so lucky. I just have dyslexic fingers.

Are you talking about my crappy weather post or my are you drunk post?

Gravel drive way...just a tad bit concerned about a rock ending up through my front window

It's 52 degrees. I think it's time to break out the motorcycle!

It's mid-60s here today. Playing golf after lunch tomorrow.

 

[Supe]

80 here, and I'm too pissed off to even enjoy it.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

18 yesterday morning, going to 72 this afternoon. no wonder everyone is getting sick...

 

[Chucktown PE]

78 down here tomorrow and not a cloud in the sky. Trying to think of something fun to do with the kids this weekend.

It was 65 yesterday...and 30 something today with freezing fog this morning.

Yikes!

Was in the 70's when I left this morning, supposed to be in the mid 80's today. I love being able to drive to work with the windows down, even though the office is just down the street.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

It can't decide if it wants to be winter or spring around here.

Yesterday I ran in shorts, this morning I was clearing snow off the car.

 

[MA_PE]

The only consolation is that today's snow won't be around for very long.

At least we got to open windows and air out the house the yesterday.

This seems like the winter that won't go away.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ Just give me one or the other. I love the snow, but I also enjoy things starting to green up as spring rolls around.

I'm sick of this muddy purgatory!

My backyard looks like a fishing hole.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Went up to the eighties this weekend, and it looks to do the same today.
