Title: snowed in
Post by: jrizz on December 20, 2006, 04:58:14 PM: Dont try to fly through Denver for the next few days. My flights home were shut down :( so I am stuck in Iowa for 3 more days with no broadband, no laptop, no Layo :(. Wren has some CNR for a few of you, it will have to wait a bit. See you all in a few days.

Post by: Zelda1 on December 20, 2006, 06:33:17 PM: I hate snow... It was 70F here on Tuesday. I'd tell you to fly to here but I'm either not home or passed out these days. *shifts eyes* or on Layo.

Aaaaand... you can always talk to me on myspace. 8)

Post by: Vyris on December 20, 2006, 08:03:20 PM: I wish some would fall in Montana. It's cold enough here the squirrels freeze themselves to the ground when they pee (really, I am not kidding.. made the local news, yes, it is THAT sad of a news day here) But barely a skiff of snow. The ground is like concrete and all these out of state people driving around on the ice need to hurry up and become traffic fatalities so I can not have to dodge them on the way to school and back :P

Seriously, if it's slick out, lay off the gas, and brake gently well in advance of where you need to stop.
there should be an IQ test before you're issued a license of any sort :P

Post by: dadunmir on December 20, 2006, 09:07:46 PM: Aw crud! I am really hoping to miss this storm when I travel this weekend. I've been watching it closely and hope to get lucky. I'm concerned as it does not sound likely. I'll cross the fingers anyways. I hope those of you hit by it find ways to manage and you have my condolences, nonetheless.

What can I say, when it comes to storms and the chaotic forces of nature, I certainly don't have my character's perspective on the matters. I like them both predictable and manageable.

Post by: CHAzz on December 20, 2006, 09:38:33 PM: I'm in the middle of it as well, and I'll be flying back into it for the holidays if it lasts that long.

Yesterday was a nice hot day (32C), was swimming with the kids till like 9pm :)

I do despise you with a passion, twidget. I hope you know that. :P I think I might plan a vacation to Hawaii just to bug you one of these days.

Post by: merlin34baseball on December 28, 2006, 05:25:24 PM: HERE WE GO AGAIN! 6 to 12 inches tonight, small break tomorow afternoon and a possibility of 10 to 20 more Friday and Saturday. Guess I'll be playing alot of Layo, specially since theres no where to put this snow since last weeks hasn't melted yet! *puts the truck in 4x4 and goes to the store while the getting is good*

Post by: trillex on December 29, 2006, 03:06:42 AM: I want snow. :(
Title: Re: snowed in
Post by: lonnarin on December 29, 2006, 04:48:37 PM: It certainly beats Orlando. Just turned on the AC today as it was 81 degrees less than a week before January. Anybody doubting global warming at this point is likely a nihilist.
Title: Re: snowed in
Post by: hawklen on December 29, 2006, 06:28:31 PM: Its just a trend. in a couple years we'll be back to deep snow.

anyways, enjoying my green grass still, and temps above 0C
