Pulverized in Michigan....

[trapin]

About 10 inches today and it's still blowing. I pulled out the Craftsman this morning and all that cleared driveway is already covered up again. You people down in Florida and SoCal better hug a palm tree. Anyone else get hammered up in the north?

About a 40 minute drive on the way back got cought in a white out. Took four hrs driving an H2 and trying to pass 10mph cars on the divided highways. If you dont have 4 wheel drive STAY HOME

[vintageracer]

Michigan is an EXCELENT location for all that snow!

[trapin]

What a crappy day. Mother Nature dumps a load on us and the Lions got absolutely obliterated by San Diego.

...think I'll go to bed early.

[Restomod]

Be glad its not ice!!

[67velle]

I miss my car so much (its over my dads in the heated basement) I spent the day shoveling ,then I went to my mom,s and cleaned up her,s got done at 6 oclock wasted the whole day!!!! I gotta move to a warm state............:crying: :crying:

[Black-Jacket]

move to canada then you can complian about snow

its was -15 out today, had 4 good games of street hockey with the boys

[Project69]

Lucky you, i swear this heat is killing me. Im all sweaty DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN since my car has no a/c
hahahaha

[chicane67]

10 inches ?? Please...

Complain when you get 72+ inches. Every one has become complacent. Throw your memory back to the days of the storms we had in the early to mid 80's. Those were storms... 10 inches is a mere dusting.

[Beige]

move to canada then you can complian about snow

Yeah, but it's a dry snow.

[OHCbird]

Seeing as how I'm now banished to Maine,... yeah, we got some (still getting it). The report says we got 10-12 inches... so add about 6 to that photo (it's from Saturday).

[parsonsj]

72 inches? 6 feet?

I think that would close down Washington DC for a month!!

jp

[chicane67]

The storm of '82... my 220ft driveway was 9ft from end to end... in 72 hours.

I had to go out the roll up garage door to get out of the house. And if I remember correctly... it was 68 below zero for a week and we didnt see a snow plows for 8 days. Hell... that was common back then.

[parsonsj]

Did you have to go uphill to go to work? And then uphill home too? :)

jp

[parsonsj]

Well, I gotta admit the front hit us here in Florida too. The overnight low was 39!! I gotta wear long pants today.

My palm trees are most definitely not happy. :)

[ponchopwr70]

Up here in RI we got 12" on Thursday. The storm started at noon and people left early, what a mistake. There was too many people on the road, the plow trucks couldn't plow. Traffic was stopped, 95 would not move. My commute is about 35 to 45min, it took me 3.5hours to get home and I went all backroads. I was in my 94 2wd silverado which totally sucks in the snow. My boss was able to plow us out. Yesturday morning we got another 10" and we got plowed out again, but now its all frozen solid. I think its 19 out right now. So you guys should hug your palm trees!

[trapin]

Hey Parsons...one more comment out of you and I'm flyin' down to take a chain saw to your palm trees. :evil:

Chicane67....where were you living in '82 where 9ft of snow was the norm? I can't remember Michigan being THAT bad but I do remember us getting more snow days in the 80's then we do today. It doesn't matter to me. We get 5 millimeters of snow and I get in a bad mood. I was born in the wrong climate. I am definitely a warm weathered person.

[Bow Tie 67]

We have enough to seal up the drafts in the garage, the blowing and drifting snow really helped with that. Last night I was in the garage having a smoke, looking at the project and dreaming of the holidays being over so I can get back at it. Thats when I realized the garage seemed warm, I looked at the thermometer and it said 30*f, yes when the wind-chill outside is single digits the garage is a nice shelter even at 30*f.

[1FstChevy]

Man hopefully the snow lets up in the northern Camaro regions.

I know here in southern Ohio, a few small townships had actually declared a SNOW EMERGENCY yesterday, and it hasn't snowed for 2 days!!!! you'd think it never snowed around here by the way people act and drive when the "white death" falls from the sky. Of course I know we've got it easy :) compared to you Michigan folks!

[Damn True]

Tony,

I suggest you send a Christmas card to Al Gore.

[shmoov69]

Tony,

I was thinking the same thing! LOL!:hammer:

[derekf]

I was thinking to go pick up a heater for the garage this week -- it's supposed to only get up to 68 tomorrow.

[96Z28SS]

In 1978 we got over 5ft of snow in 2 days in New England.

[sunkistcamaro]

We got about 10" on Friday and about 4" on Sunday which turned to freezing rain. Now its about a 1/4" of ice on the lawn. Got to love CT. I remember when I was a kid... Yah the snow storms were really bad. I used to jump out a window just to shovel infront of the doors! It was fun then, I would hate doing it now!
If you guys down south would like to play in the snow you can stay at my place and shovel a path to my shed...

[Young Gun]

it was 75 here in houston today...ahhh global warming hahah

[6'9"Witha69]

I feel like ice cream for dessert. Anyone else? :poke:

[aonghus]

It was 60F in downtown San Diego today, I put on a hoody.

If it drops another couple degrees I might consider pants.

[CarlC]

I had a Slurpee with my two boys today. I almost had to roll down my long sleeve shirt.

[Damn True]

It was just miserable here today. It rained a bunch and it must have been in the low 60's. I wore a sweater.

[sunkistcamaro]

You guys just love to rub it in dont you. :moon:

[Damn True]

Trust me, we pay for the privledge. Every time the note is due on the house we pay and pay and pay.

[sunkistcamaro]

I dont know, CT is named the tax you to death state.
They also want us to register our quads but dont allow you to ride them legally. But I can legally cross a road at a 90 deg. angle... yippy!
Whats the mill rate where you live?

[6'9"Witha69]

Trust me, we pay for the privledge. Every time the note is due on the house we pay and pay and pay.Definitely. Opportunity cost.

Someone my wife works with called California the Disneyland of natural disasters. Fires, mudslides, earthquakes, gail force winds . . .

[trapin]

January and Febuary are the two longest months of the year here in Michigan. Nothing but bitter cold, grey skys, and dampness mixed with snow. Every day...ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly. Your vehicles goes weeks covered in salt residue and dirt. And the garbage...all the damn garbage all over our pot-holed highways and decaying streets, it's pathetic. And it just wears on you and drags you down. March offers no relief and April does nothing but tease you incessantly with breif days of sunshine. Couple that with our depressing economy. This is a tough place to live. I hate it....I hate this God forsaken state so much it's sickening.

[jilge71]

i live in norman ok and we had crappy ice that knocked all the trees down...right along with the power...4 days before it was back on and now my fish are dead and my fridge smells like like a city trash truck. the roads where fine but the trees didnt do so well

[chicane67]

Did you have to go uphill to go to work? And then uphill home too? :)

Well... actually, I lived just down from the top of the hill. So, I guess it all depends on how you look at it.


Chicane67....where were you living in '82 where 9ft of snow was the norm? I can't remember Michigan being THAT bad but I do remember us getting more snow days in the 80's then we do today.

Black Forest Colorado. The land of record snow fall...

And just think... today as I was leaving work I was in -4* temperatures, white out conditions and we got 2 inches of snow in 20 minutes. Then I got to sit for two hours waiting for the minimum celing to get better before we could leave. How's that for the last day of work before a long vacation !?!!

[BuddyP]

Oh yeah! about a foot of snow over our way here too Tony... I was out Braaaaapin it up in Sunday afternoon....

Adding insult to injury....Got home from work early today, sun was out after raining most of the week so I went for a cruise :poke:

[BuddyP]

I'll take as much snow as mother nature can throw at us.
