That is hillarious, Veloise! haha

I'm longing for a dumping on this side of the state. I LOVE massive snow storms!

^Ditto, but the cold has one good effect. Apparently with it being this cold, they have a really hard time getting busses started in the morning, therefore, i didnt have to go to school today, and i dont have to go tomorrow. Yay!

Well, I ended up helping three people who got stuck in the snow yesterday and today. One of them was a driver delivering pizza to one of my neighbors. I couldn't believe that they would request pizza delivery knowing that our street had not been plowed with over a foot of snow. Then of course the next morning their daughter gets stuck trying to drive through the hill of snow at the end of the driveway, created by the snow plow.

Shoveling was fun. I could barely lift my arms this morning.

my sister sent me a few pictures over the weekend. Here's one from my parents' house in Belmont.

So... all this snow came in one night???

I think part of the problem was that it was so cold the salt and sand wasn't helping to melt the snow, and the snow caked up on the roads turned to ice. The roads still aren't very good.

Ok, first, all you southerners stop bragging about your warm, sunny temps!

Second, there is a reason people are going slower on the roads, ICE makes things SLIPPERY. I am so sick of idiots flying up behind me and then around me (thanks for driving in an uncleared lane b/c now I can't see b/c of the snow flying in my face) 2 miles up the road there you are in the ditch. I bet anyone in law enforcement gets so irritated w/ moronic drivers this time of year. SLOW DOWN. (sorry to vent to those who don't drive like this)

heh for some reason I figured you were older then school age

Your correct on what happened. The Road Commission is out today on the freeways with tanker trucks putting down lots of liquid calcium chloride (freeze point -25 degrees F) and spreading salt (sodium chloride) on top of it - the ice is going away:yahoo:. They have 2500 miles of roads to maintain so it might take a while for them to get everything ice free if the weather doesn't warm up

[NorthEnder]

I heard they were using serrated blades to try and add some traction to the packed snow-turned ice on the roads as well. It is slippery out, and we haven't had any new snow in a couple of days now.

Thats quite a bit of snow!

Hope you stayed warm out there walking(maybe riding one of your many bikes, IDK)

I like to ride my bike in the snow sometimes. Its got some decent off road tires on it, so i dont usually get stuck. Plus, doing skids is always fun...

Anyway, 5 miles in snow like that! Your braver than i am. I walked about 3 miles in the snow once, but it was really horrible because there wasnt any sidewalks, in turn my pant legs got wet, which then froze. LOL, not a good time.

Poor cold motorcycle!
