Patrick Hand Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 First snow of the season, and I hate it already..... Cold icky nasty wet sh***** ergh.... stuff....
Lily Alexander Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Agreed We had snow on the ground before Thanksgiving and there was snow when I got back from PIP. We might see the pavement again in March or so. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Ransom Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Yeah, we've had it here for the last three days. Bleah! It's cutting into my Christmas shopping/mailing time, 'cause I don't drive in the snow. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Capn Bob Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Aye, well, when we here got our first snow, before Thanksgiving, I came down sick. Clear proof that I be allergic to The Evil (I seldom use the "S" Word). I checked with my doctor and he said he'd give me a prescription to move down to Florida, but I haven't seen it yet. Remember, never call it S***...call it The Evil... First snow of the season, and I hate it already.....Cold icky nasty wet sh***** ergh.... stuff.... Damn, thats sharp!
Silkie McDonough Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 We had our first snow early in November ...I slept through it snowed ...laid ...melted in a matter of hours. lol Looks like we may be hit with ice & snow by Tuesday into Wednesday, but again ...quick melting.
JohnnyTarr Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I have green patches for the next 24 hrs. Tommorow I should get 3-5 inches of snow again. I too hate this white fluff. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.
Ransom Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I got a call from Chain Shot, who is on a truck run up to northern Oregon. He had to put chains on his big rig, which took him an hour, and then drive 30 mph for the next three hours on packed snow. He was supposed to be home by tonight, but that's not going to happen now.

MadL Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Alright now, what is all this talk 'bout "snow". We here in Southern California have laws 'gainst such stuff, especially if it be fall'n from th' sky.....naught that that ever bother'd th' bothers down th' alley mind ye. Now I do know our new President Elect has no issue with snow, matter o' fact he admits t' like'n it once him self, but I think ye all gonna get raid'd by th' Admerality Feds if'n ye do naught clean up yer act - just remember; just because he be th' President do naught mean he 'makes' th' laws....after all, just look'ee at th' wild tabac'ee laws in Southern California, they tried t' make that legal too but people still get hung fer it! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!

Kate Souris Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 It's supposed to snow 3" here tonight. Joy.
Captain Pogue Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I like the snow... When the city deals with it in a quick and efficient manner. What's with just leaving it lay on the roads? Do they own a truck with a scrapper on it or a de-icing truck? Or do they wait for trucks transporting de-icing chemicals to loose control and spill their contents, one lost it's trailer on I-205 today. Back in Kansas City if roads where still icy the day after a storm the city would get some angry calls. Conceptual Simplicity, Structural Complexity, Achieves a Greater State of humanity.
blackjohn Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Fwiw, if I'm stuck with cold, I may as well have some snow to go with it. Then again, I have two young sons, and having a snowball fight ranks pretty high up there on the list o' fun things to do.

Rats Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) It was in the 40's yesterday and the snow started to melt... Then it dropped below zero and now everything is ice... I also hate this C-rap!! Edited December 16, 2008 by Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 It cooled down by about 20 degrees over the weekend hereabouts. Snow in the higher elevations and lots of rain below. I drove to work in a hailstorm this morning - that was fun...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Snow is OK in moderation, but ice and freezing rain sucks! So does temperatures in the teens and below for days at a time... blahhh! I tried to work the forge today at 14 degrees, but the metal doesn't co-operate at these temps! Do NOT grab a piece of metal from the bucket with sweaty hands!!! Same as sticking yer tongue on a lamp-post! (I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA!) Thought I'd never get loose! Hadda come in and run warm water over my hand to get free! Bo
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I don't mind looking at snow, but getting buried in it ain't any fun let alone driving in it (that was an adventure in my lowriding PT Cruiser). That's why I moved far, far away from the stuff. Now I only have to look at it (from up close) a few days each year. Next week I'm sure it'll snow while I'm there, and it's been freezing cold in CO (at or below zero) and is supposed to stay that way. :angry: I'll suck it up though...someone playully suggested snow angels and writing in the snow. I'll surely give the first one a try for sake of nostalgia, but the other one I'll leave up to the guys in my family. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Patrick Hand Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 It's still snowing!!!!!!........... Dang icky cold wet sh....stuff...... CalTrans keeps Hwy4 clear for the skiers (buncha fools who drive up here to slide down the mountain covered with the icky wet sh...stuff... the only redeeming thing about skiing is drinking afterwards... but why not cut-out the skying part and just start with drinking?) ... I'd have to shovel out my driveway if I wanted to get outta here anyway.... I HATE SNOW
MadL Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Patrick, ye takes yerself a couple o' high powered blow torches, like th' ones they use t' dry off th' track at a drag race, then ye mount them t' th' front o' yer pickup 'n fill 'em up with High Octane 'n mount yer truck on a couple o' pontoons Then SAIL yer way int' town! Now Let's Get'er Done! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
Patrick Hand Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 That would be really cool..... the only problem is that I still have to shovel out my driveway so I can go get the torches..... Hating snow more and more by the minute......

I HATE SNOW Hey, Patrick, Chain Shot is stuck in a town on Eastern Oregon, where it is supposed to get down to -5 degrees tonight. He doesn't even know if his truck will turn over in the morning, because the oil will be so thick — worse than molasses! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Gather 'Round, Join Hands, Let's All Think 'WARM THOUGHTS'! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
MadL Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Eastern Oregon, where it is supposed to get down to -5 degrees tonight. minus 5? *phfffff* Try -20, where ye step outside 'n suddenly th' buggers in yer nose Freeze Solid in an instant, seal'n yer nose solid so ye can't breath - Now THAT is cold!!

LadyBarbossa Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 minus 5... hehehe, I believe it. We are not all that far off from that here in Iowa. Been cold here all day, near 0 with a windchil between 12 below to 25 below. Brrr. Suppose to be getting over 4 inches starting tomorrow afternoon. Oooo. My sister's kids are hoping for no school. Hahaha, nope, they will go to school as the snow won't be pummeling until when they get out. I heard ye got some snow over yo'r direction, Patrick. How much did ye get there? They didn't say on the weather channel. Also heard that California was getting some downpours. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Hey, it's better to have it now thank in April. Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Twisted Maggie Smythe Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Aye! We got snow here also at the beach! Very pretty to see the sand dunes covered in the stuff. We only get it two or three times a year, but that is enough for me. Right now it is ice. We are suppose to get some more on Thursday. My biggest problem is that I don't like to drive in it. To get to work, I have to drive on a little windy road with drop offs at every turn. The road to Cape Disappointment never sees sunlight, so it stays icy for days. Makes for a slow and nervous ride. I think I went about 15 mph all the way! LOL! Me knuckles turning white, along with me face! But it is pretty. That is the only good thing I have to say about it. Stay warm everyone!
