Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

I'd have to say my two and a half block walk to class and back has to be one of, if not the shortest commute for anyone. Plus we only got maybe 2" of snow.

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

Still at work, 15 hours and counting. I will be here all night probably, I will just go to my room and sleep for awhile and trade off with one of my techs for the whole night. Good thing is that I am on the clock and its all overtime. I will most likely end up working 32 hours straight. 32x50=1600 dollars in one shift.

I gave all my guys that stayed food comps to use at all the restaraunts for the whole shift if they choose to and everybody has free hotel rooms to clean up in. Its not so bad, everything is super funny for some reason. Probably because we are all so tired. Well I am taking a nap in my office now.

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

Pretty much every class at my school was cancelled today. Well except mine of course. My professor was the only one willing to risk his students lives for his vacation time. I didn't go though. Well to be honest I slept through it but it wouldn't have matter because when I got up I went and looked at my car. Here's what I saw:



Then the plow came by right after that. I won't be going anywhere today.

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

I was at our tech shop today helping them pack to move to a new building, I got to walk to work. Saw the aftermath of two accidents both happening in the same spot outside the building, and a V6 Mustang that got stuck trying to make it up a slight hill on Hamline Ave.

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

damn thats a big pic... and your usually suppost to open your eyes for a pic.

it was 80 here today and my school takes 2 days to switch from heat to AC so they won't switch for a while. It was like a sauna inside.

sounds like fun and like you got some wet snow like we always get down here. Snow you can actually compact for snowballs and snowmen and such, though it is a pain on the roads.
have fun,
Stuart

You'd think so. I tried making a snow man and it turned out more like a snow turtle.

SlowWhite - I hope you plan on staying in FL for an extended period of time. I'm pretty sure some cold, frustrated members want to see you dead........

Seeing a snow plow in the ditch is like seeing fire burning on top of water. It's just not right.

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

we only got 10-12. So i plowed my way to work with broken coil springs :-D

then I got a neon sxt loaner that gets stuck if it's going against a strong wind.

i've seen at least 2 dozen vechiles in the ditch, or have seen a few in the process of going in the ditch.
today is a skating rink

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

I HATE SNOW!!!!! I hate it sooo much... it only gets in the way and makes cars dirty.... What's wrong with this state that it can be 50 degrees one day, then two days later, there's 10" of snow on the ground?? I HATE IT!!!

Re: The Blizzard is here literally!

i drove all day sunday from laramie, WY only to get as far as Rapid city, SD before running into the storm on I90, so we stayed at the hotel for the night. Monday set out at 9am get home 7pm. A couple of food stops and driving maybe 50mph max for most of it. My friends and I counted about 40 cars in the ditch once we hit MN, 3 semi's were rolled, one looked like it had exploded open. I HATE snow. Oh yeah on the drive there was so much snow/ice crap on the road that it is wedged all between my springs so when i hit a bump you can here it all grinding and shit. And it managed to get in my bumper and pull one side down about 2 inches. F*** snow.
