More snow....

[choptop]

Oh yeah, well I had to take my coat off at lunch today. Got too hot

[Irish_Alley]

finally someone hates it like me, you know when i was a kid snow meant no school now snow means risking your life or truck just to get to work cause you work for the state and your mandatory.

When we were kids growing up in west Germany the buses always got stuck when it snowed so the Barracks would send a 4' ton military troop carrier out for us..made our day...ha ha
Its ok to look at but its just glorified rain at the end of the day..

Its ok to look at but its just glorified rain at the end of the day..

the thing about snow, if you are prepared for it and have the equipment to shovel it, and the state/county has the correct number of snow plows to clear the road, etc... then it is no problem.

When you see two snow storms of 12" and 14" just weeks apart in a southern city, at which place, the last time this place has seen 12" at one time was in 1996, it kind of throws everything out of wack. 

My back still hurts from shovelling my driveway and now I must shovel at my mother in laws.  The reason i have no snow plow for my ATV you ask?  These storms are supposed to be very, very infrequent. 

They are calling for our third major dumping this friday night yet again!!!  Where is Al Gore?

[Lt.Del]

Our third snow storm in 6 weeks w/ over a foot of snow is underway.  There is a reason i don't live in Alaska.  Gettin' tired of the white stuff. Calling for 6 inches today, then another 6" Saturday, sleet in between. Washington D.C. , Fredericksburg, and Charlotesville to get 2 feet!! I took the day off--I don't wanna mess w/ this stuff.

There's yet another storm Brewing for Tues/Wed this week, but, New England will get hit worse than us this time.  And, there will be a President's Day strom to show up in about 9 days in the long range forecast.

well i just had to drive to work it was about 4-6" when i left work in Maryland had to drive into 2' drifts fun let me tell ya. by time i got to Del its was still about 6" but had a city worker run a red light well not run it he had a plow and flashing yellow lights on he stops for the light then goes into the intersection and stops to do a u turn lets just say i had to lock up the brakes i was only going about 25 stalled my truck and just missed him once i got it started again i just floored it in the middle of the intersection where he still was and had my truck side ways needless to say i piped him lol.

[Lt.Del]

We got 5" yesterday.  Then it changed to rain overnight.  Then before dawn, it began snowing again and continues to snow here in Richmond.  We may get another 4-8" today.  

I wish I could be as vague at my job than that of meteorologists.  I can see myself now..."well for our next  fiscal year, we will have in our budget between $5.00 and $5 million we can spend. "  

Or, in policy, "to serve that warrant, you can serve the defendant or, perhaps, a friend of the nieghbor's---doesn't really matter.".

[frogman68]

we are in about 30 inches the pups wont even go out the front door if i open it lol

[slammed79]

Would this be an inappropriate time to mention I'm wearing shorts and a tshirt on while enjoying 70 degree weather?

[mean79]

i know im right down the street from brook road, and the only thing that can get out of my driveway, its a hellacious slope is the good ol 79 k10

[Lt.Del]

Snow, Snow, wish it would go.  Used to feel glad, now it makes me feel mad.  Shovelled all my land, blisters on my hands.  Blacktop driveway is not too black, but my muscles are rebelling in my back.  Summer can't be here soon enough, for this winter, she's been tough. 6 inches here yesterday, another 7+ this day, when will it go away? This white stuff is making me delerious, I'd hate for someone to start taking me serious.

I have to keep on wishin' for the day I'll be at the river house fishin'. 

[Irish_Alley]

well here it is almost 24 hours after getting to work let me just say "take this job and shove it" lol not really at least i have a job but I'm "frozen" here till someone wants to come it but on the good side of it its time and half plus hour for hour vacation time that means i work for 20 hrs in a state of emergency i get 20 hours vac time plus i get time&.5, win win but they made me take a four hour break to "sleep" at 1800 hrs lol yeah that hapend so i left work to go to royal farms to get everyone some food in my building the staff that is and on my way back my front drive shaft makes a funny clunk then i take a turn going pretty slow and it snaps at the knuckle at the t case smacks my truck some were no oil on the ground so i unlocked my hub and drove back to work now once i get off i will have to change it lucky i have one just laying an 2' of snow some were in my bed of my truck lol what a day

[Lt.Del]

yeah, you guys got much more than we did.  I'm still trying to find out if Wash. D.C. got over 30 inches.  I'll find out tomorrow when i download the sunday Washington Post on my kindle i guess.

I don't want anymore.  3 storms for Richmond is enough!  BTW, we got another coming Tuesday night.

[Irish_Alley]

BTW, we got another coming Tuesday night.

[mean79]
