X2, loved it in my younger days.

I don't mind actual snow, its the ugly, salty, slushy, slop........

Too much snow, there's no where to put it. We lost 3-4 feet of street on each side, basically one driving lane now. I don't know what's going to happen if it snows more. My boss plows, 2 Bobcats, 4 power stroke 1 tons with 9 foot Leo plows and a ex DOT Ford dump truck with a BIG plow. Got to work this morning and the shop was full of busted trucks. No room to fix cars, spent the day working on plow trucks, maybe I can do some body work tomorrow.

This was our house last year on Christmas Eve, we don't see snow very often.

We got our share Saturday. Problem is all the drifting and windchill. If not for that it wouldnt be bad. Momma stayed home tonight. The roads are sheer ice, plus the kids have had no school today and for tomorrow.

X3 Harold it was ugly here in Northeast,Ohio Monday must have snowed at least 10 inches and blowing like crazy.The one time i was driving Monday i thought my windshield was fogged up that's how bad the visibility was couldn't see 50 feet in front of you.I'm glad i have a 4X4 truck or i wouldn't have been out there at all.I seen a bunch of front wheel drive car spinning and sliding all over the place.After 2 weekends in a row of snow i'm already waiting for spring to get here.

Later Mark.

another 2-3 inches in Monreal......

Our little part of the world has been closed for a couple days, every road shut-down. First time in 20 years I can't get to work with the roads closed. Not a great time for the crew stuck at the plant, coming on 48hrs on duty .

We've got about 3" here and a temp of zero this morning....It's COLD!!!

Its colder there than here! I always thought KY was a hot state 9* in the morning with a 5* windchill. Wnder why its colder there than here?

-25 here and a lot of wind. not sure how much snow, at least a foot but its blowing around a lot. Getting tired of plowing already.

heck it was warm this am 17 below.....got up to 8.... worked anyway>two doors and a opener in. course i was like an old woman backed up to the torpedo heater all day..lol, bobn

it was only 23* here this morning with a wind chill of 11* that is cold down here in south goergia

I saw on a national weather report today that it was warmer in Bangor, Maine that it was in Jacksonville, Florida - that's certainly upside-down.

Ive been living in Wisconsin for 35 years. I'm realllllly sick of snow. I'm sick of cold weather all together. Snow was fun when we were kids,
now its just a pain in the ass. I wanna move south so i can drive my old lincoln more.

Damn snow i'm already tired of it got about 16 to 18 inches Monday thru Tuesday afternoon.I went to work after 3:00 pm Tuesday came home Tuesday night at 11:30 PM must have had another 6 inches of the crap.

Later Mark.

I'm amazed this year... we had a really good summer, warm & dry for the most part after last year's sub-standard winter where the snowblower only came out once

All this current activity and we've had a couple dustings at best

01085, btw Weather.gov

We have about 2' here and lotsa wind to move it around. The major highway from Buffalo to London has been closed for two days, cars, trucks, even plows in the ditch. So much stuck in the road the plows can't get through. They called in the army to get it cleaned up. Wonder if they will just blow it all up???

Was trucking up north of North Bay this weekend and got layed over for a day due to roads closed up there. -30* with the wind chill. It was raining in the morning before we got there, turned to snow and dropped about 25*.

I hate snow.

Well, we are looking at a record 80° here today, and then possible dusting of snow on Friday morning.
Sure was nice yesterday though!

Warmed up today it was up to around 0 F. Damn wind could go away anyday now. I'm not liking the outside work right now, seems thats all i got at the moment.

Delivered into Temiskaming (sp?) just into Quebec. Went into North Bay and then took 63 east. Going to be running up there quite a bit.

It's pretty hard to dress for that wind, its harder to work with wires with big furry mitts on too!!

Nice cottage country there. temiskaming, latchford area. The road has been fixed too for the most part.

It is, but I learned early on in my career to learn to manage with gloves on. The other donkey i've been working with takes his gloves off for everything he does. He'll have arthritis for sure.

This is at my mom and dads in Edmonton. We will be there next week. Brrrrrrr.
