Seems you are in for a bit more winter weather. So stay safe. Good time to hit the bench me thinks.
James
 
Thanks James . Good advice :good:

To be honest it's hard not to since we have not snow removal equipment . I've never been stuck due to snow till I moved here. Can't even get out of neighborhood :smack

The bench sounds good if the power stays on :rotf Hard to model by candle light . :idonno

Cheers, Christian B)
 
'Round here, folks stocks up up bread-n-milk and hunkers down. Lessen' ya gots a foh by foh, den you goes out and tries to get it stuck. :D

Seriously, we went to the store yesterday to get out groceries like normal, parking lot full, bread and milk GONE!



:blink
 
...here ...Rio de Janeiro... the summer is terrible :vmad ... The bench time is almost impossible :facepalm

Best regars for all!

Trust me, you wouldn't want one of those in the hands of local rednecks. :laugh:
 
It's strange storm, I have never seen it snow so much and not accumulate. We have a muddy snow more than anything else. Temps are suppose to dip below freezing tonight and stay that way tomorrow. They have already planned on shutting down the plant tomorrow so I'm taking snow day. Might be able to get to the bench afterall.

Around here, they are heeding the warning and already have the roads prepped.


Chris, Snow removal stuff. Why would we need it???
 
Strange indeed. The system is moving to the NE from the SW and yet the snow has been falling out of the east most of the day. :idonno It has slacked off and warmed up, what had fallen is gone. Guess Round Two is just down the block. :blink

Could be used as an RRV - redneck repellant vehicle :rotf

A 14.5 mm machine gun like that if you fire one shot at close distance in a crowd it goes through 75 people just like that. Pretty big babies, played with them in the army. The tanks had a .50 cal machine gun, these APC's had twin 14.5 & 7.62 MG's :coolio

If it would get me out of this hole I live in it would be enough for me Bob :bang head . I could manage from there.
 
I'd rather face two feet of snow than a tenth of inch of ice any day. Even if you have 4 or AWD, you still have to stop.

What I don't understand is why is always a run on milk, eggs and bread? 'Storm comin', must make french toast!'

I'll stick to Guinness and beans. I can get through any storm with those. ;)
 
Stay safe everyone...I'm 30 minutes north of Albany, NY so it looks like we are above the northern edge of things for now-- but then again we are sort of used to it...wouldn't mind another day to add to next week's winter break ;)
 
Today i drove from Columbia Sc to Chapin (27 miles) Then left Chapin and drove to Greenwood, another 60 or so and back. The main accumulation that I saw was in Newberry. They had a nice covering and heavy snow greeted me for my entire drive to Greenwood. When I got back to Chapin it was still snowing though it did slack up a bit and then stopped around 3 pm.

This is a weird storm, heavy snowfall with good covering early but it melted away by afternoon. Tomorrow is still open.
 
I'm not too incredibly worried where I'm at, since hopefully we'll get all snow. But southeast of here, they are forecasting the possibility of an inch of ice, which is just downright scary. They're forecasting as much as 12+" of snow here, w/ maybe .1" of ice on top of it.

I'm going to see how things are looking at lunch time tomorrow, and decide whether to leave early. I'm already planning on taking a vacation day on Thursday if they dont offer some kind of snow day, just so I dont have to worry about being out in it. May even take Friday too, since none of this crap will melt off before Saturday.
 
Been up for an hour and it's sleeting in Columbia SC- parking lot is a layer of thin hard ice. This old man with 20 years exp in commercial plumbing almost busted his butt walking out into the parking lot with a new pair of boots! And i thought i was used to such things- we are on the very edge of the rain/ice line. You guys up northwest and NE of us be wary. CR
