n_maher Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 It hadn't snowed for over 2hrs so I decided to take care of clearing the driveway. I've been inside for 10 minutes, it's now snowing like a bastard again. Quote
voodoochile Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I've been up since 4:30am, and it still hasn't snowed yet, so hurray for that. We got a bit less than a foot from thursday through monday, so it wasn't nearly as 'epic' as forecast. I was expecting to have to tunnel out. Quote
Grahame Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 Just in case you don't check out the slow forum UK Covered in Snow (kindly rehosted by 'stretch) (scaled) Satellite image of the UK covered in snow. Like a scene from ... on Twitpic (fullsize) Satellite image of the UK covered in snow. Like a scene from ... on Twitpic Quote
The Monkey Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 Ah, the Ring of Kerry looks lovely and green. Quote
grawk Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 I didn't shovel this morning, and almost died going down my driveway. I just got back home, and my driveway had melted. Since I survived, I made the right call Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 I didn't shovel neither, but I doubt it's going to melt, I didn't leave the house 'til after noon, and it didn't look like it was going anywhere. But since it's just a dusting, I'm not going to worry about it. Quote
mrarroyo Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 I was in Naples and I saw frost on the ground! They are predicting snow for Tampa. Quote
mypasswordis Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 F**king snow always ruins my plans. And somehow manages to pick the days it can most screw me over. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 Not me, I didn't really want to spend > 3 hours on the road today (Emmitsburg, MD), so was glad to have an excuse. Quote
mypasswordis Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 Good excuse, traffic + any precipitation drives me nuts. I can't stop picturing a colon between the > and 3. >:3 "My" car broke down two weeks ago and my parents haven't bothered getting it fixed so I'm not able to easily commute, anyway. Quote
MomijiTMO Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 How much longer do you guys have to put up with this? Can't be too much longer can it? Quote
mypasswordis Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 It's only the beginning of February. We've had freak snows in April before, and we're not exactly very far north. Thankfully it only ended up being 3-4" or so, so shoveling this time around was reasonably quick. Quote
cetoole Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Yup, spent 45 minutes shoveling the drive today, 6-8" but it was a nice, light powder. Quote
grawk Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 But it's not supposed to warm up again until next weekend, and is supposed to snow off and on all week. Quote
cetoole Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Ouch. Might make the drive north very interesting, hope not. Quote
Beefy Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 And in the freshly paid-off car too...... Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 But it's not supposed to warm up again until next weekend, and is supposed to snow off and on all week.This, coming from someone who prides himself on not knowing the weather more than 4 hours in advance. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) So, DC area head-casers...Friday, huh? Edited February 4, 2010 by Dusty Chalk Quote
Dreadhead Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 yeah I'm getting tired of Mother Nature taking a shit on my weekend riding plans. Here's hoping that she doesn't fuck up next weekend, I have my first race on valentines day. Quote
cetoole Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 And in the freshly paid-off car too...... Didnt actually use my car for the drive, flew into Montgomery, AL Sunday and drove my grandmother's buick. Wish I had my car. Did get into a bit of snow in VA on Tuesday, but not too bad before we pulled off for the night. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 I'm probably just going to make an appearance at work, then I'm gone. Sick of this shit. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 we're fuckedI went to weather.com, posted 22209 (where I work), clicked over to hour-by-hour, and when I got to tomorrow, sometime between 10am and later, this is exactly what it said. And then I turned on WTOP, Announcer: What do you have for us, Doug Hill? Doug Hill: Oh, we're fucked, Dean Lane. It's going to drop on us like a diarrheal flying cow that just ate the whole pasture.

Dreadhead Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 I'm working from home. Around here people don't know now to drive in snow and it scares the shit of out me on the road at times. I was just thinking back to doing a 45min drive in a Michigan blizzard once, felt safer than I do around here when it's raining much less snowing. There, people know how to drive in snow! Quote
aardvark baguette Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 Around here, people don't know how to drive when its 80 degrees and partly sunny. Quote
