Snow stuff!

So yeah - the UK got hit badly/good with snow today!

I got sent a good email and thought I'd put it on my space to share with you guys

Clicky

 

LOL, one should shovel the snow from the back first! before you rip all the plastic off!

 

OMFG!!!!! Talk about taking a little weight off the back end. When amateurs try too hard...

That's not SNOW! You can still see the road and the tops of trees.

Oh Blimey how I love to see a Limey playing in the snow.

Kinda makes you wonder just why the Auto Manufactors put "Tow" hooks on cars now don't it

 

That ain't England either......license plates and rigs aren't British

 

Ahw Lev you went and ruined my rhyme with FactsLOL LOL

 

Yeah I got hit in the same damm storm on the way into London, and on the way I saw a woman clearing her drive with a magazine, as in using the magazine as a snow shovel, and even by Limey standards this was heavy snow [for Herts].

 

Yep, neither are the accents, and they are on the right (A.K.A. 'Wrong') side of the road.

LoL!. A good example on how NOT get a vehicle free from the snow. If they’d got off their butts a shovelled a bit, or at least gone backwards and forwards, it might have been different.

"Stupid is, as stupid does." I guess he's not worried about driving his car any more, LoL! rolleyes

 

I live in central NY... i dont want to talk about snow. N. Redfield got 12' 2"in under 7 days..... granted here in Syr we didnt see anywhere near that much.

 

Any snow is too much tho. Try walking when people don't shovel the sidewalks.. it sucks

It's still snowing, calltaker! Give me some time!

We've got around 10" here since midnight last night . . . and were under a blizzard condition warning, but it expired a bit ago . . .

I HATE snow . . . had to dig my car out and thaw it to even get to work! I wanna go back to bed!!

 

We were up to about 4" around 2 hrs ago here i'm heading out again in a little bit and will let you know where it's at when I get back in

(Those cigar breaks are actually good for something )

I survived yet another bout of snow-shoveling . . . aarrgghh!

Here is my car (after I dug it out . . . ). I hope we are done with this weather for a bit . . . the temp is still around 12 F and that is with the sun shining!

Off to bed for me . . . zzz

 

What is all that white stuff
--I was in the backyard weed eating the grass yesterday and it was 65 and sunny. That is probably why my property taxes went up again..ahhh California.. rolleyes. I live as close to snow as I can get to the snow (2hrs away) and still not have to deal with it on a daily basis in the winter
Besides you ever see a Californian try to drive anything over a light dusting is absolutely hilarious

 

Seeing anyone that lives south of PA/OH is funny too.

 

Campus actually shut down for today with all this snow. We've got a bit over a foot now, and it's not stopping anytime soon. I'd go jump in a snowbank or something, but it's too windy. The guy in the Bobcat plowed the parking lot 1 1/2 times before giving up.

 

My other half shoveled in front of the house 2 different times today and when I went out to go to work, you could barely tell. This is insane. Even my German Shepard is starting to get lost in the snow in the back yard. The chihuahua won't even go out there because the snow is so deep.

We've got over two feet now. For the last hour I experienced 28 Days Later when digging out cars, jumping off ledges into snowbanks, and making and crushing tunnels. Supposedly campus is shut down until at least noon Thursday, plus we might get another foot! Woohoo!!

 

I kinda was ignoring this thread because the long winter is giving me cabin fever, but I did go out driving around last weekend after I dug myself out.

This last one was taken at 3:00pm.

 

my son gets jealous because he doesn't get 'snow days'!! mind you he gets 'flash flood' days, 'no electric' days, 'road closed' days, and a whole variety of other 'hawaiian' days including things like 'whale watching day'. i dont miss the cold at all. there is no snow on the mountain at the moment, but when there is we can have a 'snow on mauna kea' day. lol. drive carefully all of you.

 

I live in Syracuse too, and it's been a beast...

Meet my bus stop... the worst part was when they cancelled my route, and I didn't find out until I was standing out in it (taking pictures) for an entire hour. Can we say frost bite?

The best part is, I found out later they DID announce it... on the Radio. Do you know who listens to the radio? People driving in CARS that don't need to take the bus!!!!

Here are some others for posterity;

That's about what it looks like here, too, plus 10-foot snowbanks in the campus courtyard where a tractor piled snow from that area.

 

Slushy snow over here in Chicago tonight.

 

30 deg. Celsius, (90.f) and hot, here. Just had a week or so of coolish rainy weather - right in the middle of summer, go figure.

 

Lol . . . well said, Wenchie!

Getting pretty slushy here, too - but it looks like we didn't get near as much as you and Wenchie got!

 

I so hear you on that one Wenchie...... worst part is, I called Centro last Wed evening and was told that they were running on normal schedule and all, then I spend 20 minutes out there waiting before I get a call from work asking if I need a ride cause Centro is on snow routes. What a freaking joke.
