I'd rather that than the pure ice we have here. I could literally skate all the way down my driveways.

Yes, but the tables are turned, when they're enjoying a nice mild summer and we're suffering through sweltering 100° highs with 100% humidity, LOL.

I'll take heat over cold any day.

Post by: eventhorizon66 on January 30, 2009, 12:26:46 pm
A dry heat, definitely.  It's the humidity that makes it so miserable.  LOL, like I live in the Amazon or something - I'm such a whiner when it comes to weather.

Well I would say that should get the job done. To bad you ain't closer I hate cleaning my driveway. But it builds character for my sons.

That's why they invented air conditioning. But I'd have to agree with JR, I'd take hot over cold anyday. The only downside to that is where I live and work. It might only be 102°F and 85% humidity, but out on the flightline it'll be 125°F and 85% humidity.

You can always put more layers on, or go in where its warm. When its hot you can only take so much off legally in public. And only so much period!!!
 No its the size of the plow. No matter how good you use it a 9'er will clear and area in half the half or less the time a 7.5'er will.

Yeah but when your working on something in the cold and sloppy slush it stinks at least if its hot out its a whole lot easier. I recently had to dig up a gas line going to my house in the snow-rain-cold-mud basically had it been hot out it would have been much easier the ground wouldn't have been froze. Anyway bring on the SUN!!

My thoughts exactly!  but even if you get naked you'll still be hot plus you'll get sun-burned on your naughty bits....

*******   NEWS FLASH   ********

England had 4-10 inches of snow last night and the southern part of the country has come to a standstill. Pathetic really!!

When we do have good sunshine for more than 3 days they put a hosepipe ban in operation- how can this be, we're on an island!!

I'll have 70degs plus over this nasty snow / ice. You wait, it'll thaw and we'll be on flood alert too!

Bitzer, clarify a hosepipe for us?

Blazin- i'll give you a clue, its not down yr trousers/pants ;D

I know we have some strange terms to you but....................... surely a wind up?

Hosepipe- plastic pipe that water travels down from a tap. Can be used for irrigation, washing or playing silly buggers with  ;)

We have hose pipes around these parts, too. Most the rest of the country calls them garden hoses.

Blazin, man, watch out going in your front door, those icesicles look like they could do some damage!
Title: Re: Snow
Post by: Blazin on February 02, 2009, 06:16:56 pm
ccz45a, Might want to take a better look at the pic! Been a while since that door was used, note the but high snow up to the steps, and on the steps ;D  ::). I use the side, and back doors. I keep the icicles bashed off the back side of the roof.
Bitzer I thought maybe it was a garden hose but ya neva know!
