HS101 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Snow day! Everything in the north half of Georgia is shut down, so... RELOADING TIME!!! Made 1000 40 and 1000 9, would have made 223 but I am out of H335.... I might even switch the 550 over to large primers and load up 45 tonight, too.... Always take the time to make the best out of a bad situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was nice to get out of bed @ 7:59 and walk to the office in my spare bedroom for hard day of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh you can sell those from home. You just might get a little vist from the DEA and an all expenses paid trip to the Big House! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Lord Gomer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was one of 3 people who made it in to work yesterday in a 23 story building. most of those floors are empty, but I was still surprised that almost no one else came in yesterday in Augusta, GA.

Modoc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 No snow here, and like Sarge snow just means extra work. Enjoy it while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 some snow here in northern IN, but not near enough to shut anything down. too bad, bc I need to clean/rearrange my reloading room and get to work cranking out some rounds myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS101 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Another day snowed in.... 1000 45 down.. I am running out of things to reload - hope the weather breaks soon ! Otherwise I might need to start cleaning my guns or even worse, brass prep Edited January 11, 2011 by HS101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Spoke to soon !!! Got 4 or 5 inch's today but everything still goes. Maybe a little slower though. Curious how much of snow or ice dose it take to shut everything down in the south? I haven't missed work ever because of snow or ice in northern Indiana. But it hasn't snowed a lot( like over a foot) for a long time. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it hasn't snowed a lot( like over a foot) for a long time. Brent 1/2-3/4" of ice is enough. We only have such episodes every 3-8 years, so it makes no sense to invest big tax dollars in equipment to deal with it. Some local moron truck driver was bitching at the Governor on tonight's news; urging him to "go find more money for equipment". I guess it never occurred to him that HE would be footing the bill. Most of us would rather spend our money on a new BBQ smoker since we'd get a hellava lot more use from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Stepped out of the office at 4:30P and the air smelled of snow Be interesting to see if tonight's rain actually comes in as snow at 500' elev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the snowed at home too.But my work will just hunt me down. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah, I love this time of year. It's when we generally have folks from up north tell us, "the problem is, you just don't know how to drive in snow". Of course we do. Snow isn't a problem. Ice is. As I told my friend from upstate New York.... "If you say you're from New York and you know how to safely drive in the snow, I believe you know how to drive in the snow. If you say you're from New York and you know how to safely drive on ice, I believe you're an idiot". I hate that the guy in the BMW was an idiot (my apologies if that seems redundant). I don't know where he comes from, but there likely aren't too many smart people in his gene pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 My son spent a year in Atlanta completing his Masters in EE. He is used to snow but was just awed at the ice storms. Everything is covered with a consistent layer of ice. Everything! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Oh, yes! It starts with an inch or two of snow, and it's beautiful! We love it! Then it turns to sleet and then an icy rain. Later that night it gets really cold and makes it a solid sheet of slippery. We don't love that as much. Many places deal with the same conditions but have infrastructure to address the roads. We don't. *I'm pretty sure it's a state law that at the first forecast of winter precipitation you are required to go to the grocery store and purchase bread, alcohol, and milk. Lactose intolerance is not a defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
