I for one don't want it because I have a very important court date Monday about visitation w/ my kids.

Posted by: zymurgist Jan 29 2010, 09:03 AM

They can have it. I need to make a run to the dump, and do some dog sitting this weekend. Both of these tasks are a lot easier without the complication of precipitation.

Posted by: dlee6204 Jan 29 2010, 09:29 AM

We had a high in the 60s yesterday. It was a great day for a topless drive. Now tomorrow we are suppose to have a high of 25 with snow. How am I suppose to work on the teener in that? I'd be happy to give you your snow back just find me my warm weather.

Posted by: blitZ Jan 29 2010, 09:45 AM

If we get any, I'll send it back to you.

Posted by: pcar916 Jan 29 2010, 10:48 AM

By all means take it back... NOW! My kids are delighted however since we don't have a good snow-removal infrasructure.

Still it's the only time I can teach them how to drive in it safely. You know... parking lot skid-pad lessons!!!!

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jan 29 2010, 10:53 AM

Keep that nasty white crap up north where it belongs. We sure as hell don't want it here.

Yep.. Looks like I'll be driving the Pinzgauer home tonight! Thank god for locking diffs!
Calling for 5 inches here.

Very nice Zach. I had NO IDEA that you were so prejudice!!!


At least our 914s don't rust down here, our women are more beautiful and polite, and we have the longest driving season and the best roads.
And if we had a few more supplies a few years ago, you, today, would be living in the good ol' CSA!

George, I've seen some of your rust buckets, my ex lives in Atlanta, and while beautiful, is anything but polite. I've seen it snow alot there too, ( I was stuck there once cause of it), the only accumilation of the white stuff we have here is the stuff people snort. And don't get me started about the Crackers.

In short, I moved here to escape the cold & snow. We have the longest driving season. Sorry Kali, we don't have mudslides & earthquakes

You haven't seen the driveway to my shop.. Its on top of a mountain.

When we get any snow, even the Pinz needs to be locked on all 4 corners to make it to the top.

Nothing but a sheet of ice in Memphis this AM....

6 inches of snow here plus lots of sleet

Posted by: zymurgist Jan 30 2010, 11:39 AM

It started around 11:15 here in western Maryland. It's cold so it should be powdery and easy to blow off my car. I love having compressed air. smile.gif

Posted by: stepuptotheMike Jan 30 2010, 12:32 PM

we've basically got about an inch and a half of sleet......sorta looks like snow. It's 28 out and not supposed to go higher than that. Temp should plummet tonight. Going to be one nice sheet of ice. I've got all my home improvement supplies so it's nothing but honey do list this weekend.

Ya, earth quake season is a bitch in CA rolleyes.gif As for mud slides, just stay away from the denuded hill sides when it rains. You have HURRICANES, and they have a season. And humidity. And giant bugs. In CA, it is not the weather, its the cost of living.

I was driving home today on Rt 15 after picking up a tranny from Dr. Evil. Noticed that the snow accumulated right about where the Mason-Dixon is. I guess the South will never forget.

I'll be happy if we get crushed with snow this weekend. But I think that storm is supposed to stay south again, mostly.

Everything we got Tuesday night was gone by 1 in the afternoon. Where is the fun in that?

If I wanted to look at several feet of snow for months at a time, I would live in Minnesota or Alaska or some place where they know how to deal with it. As it is, all it does for me is provide an excuse to set up some new hardware and to watch movies with my friends across the street.

Seriously, I had the same problem when I lived in Northern Maine. Dog usually went in the shoveled areas as the snow was over my head at times.

Never forget when I put her on the snow crust at 30 below to do her thing. Poor thing's paws broke through the crust and her unprotected belly landed on the snow....

All four paws kicked into overdrive, but she was unable to get traction in the powder below. Thee poor hound went nowhere....

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 6 2010, 01:34 PM

very pleased, yes. between 26 and 23 inches, depending on where I measured. Over 4 feet in some of the drifts.

A good bit of the drive is already plowed out, and the streets around me are passable. But, there is a 4 foot snowdrift between me and the bus, that I have not even attempted to move yet.

I am thinking about turning on the 70KBTU heater against the drift and waiting to see how fast it can melt a path through it. Whatever I do, I am waiting for the wind to die down. VERY windy!

Then we got another 4 or so last night and I shoveled again today,

And now that work is covered again...

I ran the 'borrowed' snow blower this morning at 8:00 am. There was 9 inches worth then, four more by the time I quit at 9:30. All our deck furniture is covered. The gas grill w/cover looks like a buffalo!

I am SOOOOOO glad I am in Texas!!!!

It is cold here, but no snow. Well, at least not now. They are predicting some for tonight/tomorrow. I may have to take the train to work, instead of the 914-6.

Good day for pig hunting, 40 degrees and overcast if it just wasn't so muddy. It's a pain to wash a muddy hog off in 40 degree cloudy weather.

This storm is ridiculous. We have already gotten as much snow as we did last Friday. At times it is total whiteout. Awesome!

Hope the firewood is dry. Imagine what it would be like without global warming happening.

You know you love me.

Its all quiet here now, except for the plows. Got 20+ today, but our roads are cleared to blacktop.

Where the two green planters sticks are is a huge barrel planter.

This area was bald of snow due to heavy winds during the last storm. Not so much any more.

Then stop your bitching! I have 42 inches here in Blue Bell that you can have right now.

When will the trucks arrive?

Hey guys, I will take all of your snow!!!! Have you ever been on 275 horsepower that only weights 500 lbs full of fuel. Here is what it looks like and it is one of the most excieting things on this planet, IMO biggrin.gif It is built for hill climbing here in the steep and deep of Utah.

And I am sitting by my pool soaking up the sun and giving tech advice over the phone.

Posted by: charliew Feb 11 2010, 11:18 AM

DR. If your outside try that tomorrow, it's snowing in dallas and the overnight temps will be around 24 and I think atlanta is further north than dallas. Good luck with the upcoming sale, I can't think of anything big I need right now.

Looks like we were lucky enough to miss this one too.
It tracked a little too far south to do much damage here. I'm not complaining though.. Have had more than my fill of snow over the years. We have bare ground here in Northern Massachusetts and I'm glad we do. Here is what my driveway looked like last year. Dodge Diesel had so much snow under the hood all I saw when I opened it was the imprint of the sound deadening material. It still started and ran. Wind is generally so bad that there is bare ground in places and 6' drifts right next to it.

If it gets too bad, I can show you all where Zach lives and we can beat his ass stick.gif tongue.gif

Best not do that. I'll hide in your bus. The mob will have to go through it to get to me.

Zach,
I am going to fly up there and help beat your ass.... we had a FOOT of that nasty white stuff here in DFW. It is a record for us. and I can't even go to work because the 914 is too low to make it through the snow.


Bastard..... Stop wishing for this stromberg.gif



Posted by: ClayPerrine Feb 12 2010, 10:41 AM

Oh... a weather forecaster from NOAA is predicting that there will be snow on the ground in all 50 states at once.. even Hawaii. Never happened before in recorded history!!!!

Back in Jan of 96 when the weather was similar in the East and DFW, I got snowed in at the DFW airport on my way to NC.

Yea.. but usually the snow here is a max of 1/2 inch, and is gone by the afternoon.

We have 12 inches on the ground right now. And if you ever get stuck in DFW airport and have to stay overnight, just call me. I will come get you and give you a place to sleep that is not a bench in the airport.
