Snow Filled Saturday/Sunday
« on: January 02, 2010, 08:47:45 AM »
Weekend thread.

Snow sucks.  More coming, along with 35 mph wind and 50 mph gusts.  Weather forecast calls for anywhere from 4 inches to 2 feet between now and Monday.  Thanks, guys.

Laddie ripped one of his front claws off Thursday and it's been hell trying to keep it clean and keep him from licking/biting at it.  Next stop: the "cone of shame."

Time for some bacon and eggs, then get the first layer of "global warming" out of my driveway.

Many beers will die at my hand today and tomorrow.  Steak defrosting, no need to go anywhere in this crap for nearly 48 hours.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty sick of it.

One of the advantages of being unemployed is not having to worry about it too much. But I may be returning to work quite soon, so it will become a daily pain in the butt again.

Wind kicking up, and again sounds like a freight train rolling through the yard.  Plowed out the driveway this afternoon but will have to do it again tomorrow.  Figured a couple of "little" jobs easier than one big one.

I must admit; I DO NOT MISS moving snow around, regardless of equipment.

Zero degrees this morning with a minus 13 wind chill. Only a half day or so at work today.  I'd much rather crawl back under the covers this morning.

I have had enough of this perpetual snow fall also.  The wind is not making it any better.

It is coooooold outside! :censored: :brrr:

Low of 13 last night and its supposed to stay like this all week.  We actually have snow "showers" in the forecast for Thursday.  Damn.

Looks like we got 5-6 inches.  Hard to tell with the wind having blown everything into drifts.  We'll see when I get off my duff and plow the driveway and shovel off the porches.
