View Full Version : Snowpocalypse 2011
This shit is insane out here. I pulled in with a clean car to get gas, went in, paid, 5 minutes later the car is covered. Cleaning windows, and by the time I get back to the side I started, it's covered again!
its about time, we had to wait long enough to get some decent snow in the front range area.

HAHAHAHAHA.[ROFL1] only because I did the same thing this morning before church. Cleared it off and started engine. Went in to get wife and kids. Came out 5 mins later covered again.[Bang] I love the snow just hate cleaning cars off.
Great, can't wait to drive around in it for hours tonight for work. :/

do what all of the Californians do:
Get in, start it, go back in the house for an hour, come out, get in and drive away causing a white-out behind them as all of the snow blows off.

I just about pulled my backpacking stove out to make hot chocolate in it.

Poor Stu [ROFL1]
[ROFL2]. I can see Stu driving a stretched limo full of strippers. That kind of job would fit him perfect. Driver/Pimp
That's basically it mx'r. Only instead of strippers, they are pizzas. My car smells the same at the end of the night either way.

If I left right now I could probably get it to you on time. You wouldn't like the price or the taste though. [Coffee]

Meh, I'm a maintenance tech for a telecom company. I take care of fifteen repeater sites, from Denver to Grand Junction, to Raton, NM, and to Norton, KS. I'm on call 24/7/365. Something breaks, I go fix. Day or night, rain or shine. Usually at night, and frequently in snowstorms. I hate snow.
I actually really enjoy delivering in the snow. It's just the part where I'll be doing it all night tonight, only to go to sleep immediately after getting home and having to be out the door by 6 am tomorrow that is ruining it for me.
Perry terrible day went get the rest of my AR from RAR and on the way home took out a stop sign called the cops because would trainer that than a hit and run. Any way theywere cool because I called. But 3 points and 126 dolar ticket get lowered to one point when I pay it. Damn snow

Huh? I am not trying to be a grammar Nazi, but This makes my head hurt.
I am going to risk a translation here:
I had a very terrible day. I went get the rest of my AR from RAR and on the way home I took out a stop sign. I called the cops because would rather do that than risk a hit and run. Any way they were cool because I had called. But 3 points and 126 dolar ticket get lowered to one point when I pay it. Damn snow.Just a guess, but this makes much more sense.

I dunno. I always heard pizza was like sex. Even when it's bad it's not that bad.

I've got a $100 bill here that says you can't have a pizza here in memphis by 8:00...central[Beer]
Wow I just read that, that was bad
yeah it was!
sorry you took out a stop sign.
it sucks they always get your with a ticket, even for doing the right thing.
Mmmm, Pizza. Mmmm, pepperoni strippers...
except with those strippers and pizza, you never know if the smell of anchovies was really from anchovies.

like Aflockalypse,
the OP will get a get out of jail free card today, other infractions will result in being put in the corn field.

Good thing I had my pizza before sniper got to things....and why does it always have to snow over the friggin' weekend?!? Monday would've been a good start, then Tuesday and maybe Wednesday would have been quiet. Maybe it'll keep snowing all day tomorrow, and it'll still work...[Coffee]
13" and counting up here on top.
Well, I drove 65 miles in the snow tonight. A few of our drivers crashed. The closing driver hit a curb and blew his tire. The driver that went to pick him up hit the same curb and was afraid to drive for the rest of the night. I ended up working a few hours extra and closing. The closing driver's windshield wiper motor went out earlier in the night and I initially told him "NO! I start my new job tomorrow morning!" but after seeing his wipers not working I relented. I came back to tell him that I'd cover him, but by then he already had a flat so I was stuck covering him anyway. He didn't have to leave immediately (walked home actually) and leave me with both mine AND his side work though. Fortunately, someone else came in and the other driver stayed late to clean the store, so I didn't have to do anything. It was actually a good night for me. I did hit a curb fairly hard once, and it could have been prevented, but no damage.

Here is a crappy cell phone pict of the DIA bus roll over at the rental car exit earlier today. 12 people were injured - nothing serious from what I heard...

Im glad no one was killed, there usually isnt any seat belts on those suckas.
we got more snow on the way here in ny wendsday-severe wheather watch-heavy snow
we'll see-not looking foward to it!
first the storms during Christmas and then one when we got back-now this one
its starting to affect my paychecks!![Rant2]
I called in this morning...snow is up to my car's bumpers, and I hear the roads are treacherous as all hell...
we didn't get all that much snow in the springs, but the roads deceptively bad.
really slick, but with a nice layer on top. makes it easy to walk on and fools the unwashed into thinking they can just drive like normal.
This is crazy, I left Denver around 5am to go fishing. No snow at tarryall just wind then i leave around 430 from there, Get to 285 by Bailey and its a shit storm. Wish i could call in.
I'm torn between getting snow, or having the negative and low single digit temps here like we have had the last few weeks. We wouldn't have the same problems here in this tiny town compared to you guys on the eastern slope that have to travel to get to work. Here in the middle of the day, it gets to eight degrees or so. At least when it snows it is around 30 to 35.
It's 3 degrees right now here :)

What's it like in GJ ?
Well, it's a sweltering 9* here at the shop in Golden...gonna have to have a word with the plow guy. He didn't clear any of the parking spaces, just the driveway. I drove the same plow for the landlord several years back, so I know of what I speak....[Rant1][Mad][LOL]
I just had to run the snow blower to get a place to park....
What's it like in GJ ?
Small patches of snow still left from Friday, just cold as shit. No new stuff. It went from 2 earlier when I was posting to 18. Shit, that was a fast climb.

01-10-2011, 11:26
It was 6 when I went out to shovel and it's 11 now and the thermometer is in the shade.
It is having to shovel and salt and crap like that makes me glad I am renting an appartment.
WFH here. Technology is a wonderful tool.
And thanks to my dad for the 24" snowblower. Awesome doesn't describe it enough.

For next time...
The symbol for degree (°) is ALT+248
Hold the ALT key and use the number pad w/ num loc on to do this....
(BTW _ different for laptops...)
As in... "It's like a freakin zillion °'s"

What I love are the idiots who can't be bothered to clear the vehicles they parked outside. I have to park my truck outside, as it's too long to fit in my garage. But I clear almost all the snow off, and make sure all my glass is clear. I was taking my daughter to school this morning and this jackwagon in a Ford Explorer pull out of a side street with about a 1 square foot spot cleared off his windshield right in front of his face. He didn't clear any of the snow off the rest of his windshield, never mind his vehicle. He still had 6+ inches of snow on the rest of his windshield and his side windows were totally obscured along with his mirrors. He couldn't see where he was going, kept wandering all over two lanes and nearly got me when I got tired of his giant slalom course and passed him.

Look down in the lower left hand corner of your keyboard, Marlin. Should be a function key there. Mine is labeled fn, but on a PC I think they're either "func" or "function". √ and see....
I may have to "test ride" a customer's ATV outside.....[Muaha]
Now, if only it had a blade on the front...

On a laptop computer, there usually is no numeric keypad. So, instead, depress the Fn (function) key, then the Alt key, then the numerical code sequence. The numbers are on the fronts of certain keyboard keys: M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3, U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, and 9=9.

My favorite rant this time of year. WTF runs through their minds about about being able to see ? [Bang]
