Jim Norman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 SNOW, If you could keep it on the ski slopes, it wouldn't be bad, but over a foot with drifts I don't even slightly like. It costs a fortune. 2/3 of my scheduled work will not get done today and tomorrow will be a disaster as well. Snow just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife keeps saying she wants more snow and I keep saying "you don't have to shovel or drive in it"! If we could get it to fall around roads, driveways, and sidewalks....

JFlowers Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I wonder how many hundreds of people are stuck in airports waiting for this morning to try and fly home after the last two days of cancellations and frustrations? Luckily, I was not flying from Charlotte, NC to Newark, NJ today as I normally do on Monday mornings or it would have been another day of frustration in the ariport followed by the decision to work remotely this week. We drove from Charleston, SC home to Charlotte, NC on Sunday afternoon. Amazingly, the roads were clear and dry all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt22man Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 17 degrees in Louisville this morn. had to get up early, plow snow with the skid steer loader, at least it has a heated cab. Unless you are on the slopes, I agree, snow sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I have found the solution to SNOW... St Pete Beach, FL! I choose to live in paradise, and vacation where it snows... as opposed to the other way around! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillR1 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We're supposed to see 9-18" of snow before Friday morning. Yes, it snows in AZ! Actually, it happens often here at 7000ft. St. Pete sounds great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Jim, just be glad you were a bit north of me. we got about 30 inches. Most of my driveway was a drift about 45" deep. At least it wasn't wet and heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hear that Matt, but I have crews that can't get anywhere near all the places they are supposed to go. There is a humorous bit to this though. People call up for service, "I can't get out to go to work, the roads are too bad to travel, Can you come out today to fix my door?" Seriously! We just shake our heads. Yeah this ties into how I hate snow because so many people just don't get it. Milk, Eggs, Bread and water anyone? How about a snow shovel??

Jimdoe Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I live in Rio Grande Valley TX now and I used to live in Staten Island, NY. Cold weather and snow was few of the reasons we moved here because here in the valley. Well, my wife and I thought we should visit the family over the holidays which we did. Left on Dec 18 and return flight on Dec 26. Well our flight was the first flight cancelled on that day. Didn't get another flight till Wednesday the 29th. I really hated it because I had to shovel the damn snow on my vacation time. Hated it even more when I had to pick up my mom from Brooklyn to Staten Island (which normaly takes 15mins) which took me close to 2 hours because of the darn traffic that the darn snow created. Hated it.. Hated it.. Hated it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - you're in just about the coldest place in the lower 48 - lol we often laugh when you're forecasts are showing. (Not rebutting - I like the snow, I don't like when it thaws and then freezes again, I'd rather it just stay coild and clear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Yep, hating it right now. Tomorrow, no work again. I can drive in it but there is no way I going out in it with the way it is. I'm to worried about the locals hitting me. I had a guy 10-15 feet off my bumper this morning. Seriously, there is 3.5 inches of snow on the street, I think SC has 10 plows in the whole state, get the f*** off my ass.
