Default The Ice Storm Cometh!

Getting home today is going to be a blast. We're expecting 1/2 to 1in of ice in my neck of the woods this afternoon. Since I work 30miles from home, getting home will be an adventure!

After tornadoes 10 days ago, I wish Mother Nature would make up her effing mind on whether we're having winter or spring weather 'round here. :curse: Getting sick and tired of this sh*t.

Safe driving you two. We are expecting your storm our way by late evening with a prediction of 3 to 7 inches of snow.

I know. We missed out the last few times <pout> and I love snow. Even with 7 inches of the white stuff will still make it to work and home again tomorrow but love how quiet everything is when it snows.

Oh god no not more snow moving up this way. I am already having trouble seeing over 6 foot high snow banks just to pull out of my drive.

I can still see over the snowbanks either side of my driveway.
Loved the icestorm last week, the trees looked superb on the drive home. Brought down alot of tree branches in the back yard, and the slight thaw caused an ice damn that melted and leaked into the house for a day. That was NICE!
BTW I am in the Lewiston/Auburn area.

Hey just down the road. I don't mind the snow but my drive is already covered in 2 - 3 inches of glare ice. It's also on a slope so I kind slide and pray down to my car.

I myself am really tired of all this snow shit. I'm tired of going out and freezing my ass of in the morning. I hate all that snow and ice crap on the road. Snow this, ice that, windchill this, can all bite me. I'm thinkin' of going to Florida and cop a squat at Ray's crib. I hear he's got this nice pool. To bad he doesn't have alcohol and a proper cabana boy. If he did I'd make like Speedy Gonzales and head that way.

Dammit! :curse:

Aren't they getting floods in Florida now? The good news is it may get above freezing this weekend, looking forward to that! Hmm... where's the sarcastic icon?
