I am sick of SNOW (Rant)
« on: February 05, 2010, 02:39:57 PM »
Ok so last weekend we got 2 feet of snow and my car cannot go anywhere, so i was stuck at home. Right now we are getting an extra foot of snow followed by 4 inches of ice accumulation. I am so sick of winter and not being able to do anything or go anywhere. Plus, i have fallen several times, which were followed promptly by thirty minutes of swearing. GAAAAHHHHHRAWR. anyone else having these issues?

When it was snowing here last month I was just how you are. My car couldn't get grip on anything and some complete tw@t hit my car, damaging it and not leaving details.

Couldn't get to work so I missed out on a few days pay and got fed up with my clothes getting wet and dragging it everywhere.

I wouldn't mind so much if we had certain things in place to deal with it, but because we get it rarely we're never prepared for it and we don't have enough resources to deal with it. I envy places like Canada where it doesn't seem to phase them

I seem to remember that SNOW was very popular in the early '90s.

I should be used to snow by now, seeing that I live in the mountains, but it is starting to get a little crazy even for us. My college canceled a whole day of classes, which is the only time that has happened in the three years i have been here and we usually get a lot of snow. This winter has been brutal so far.

I actually have that song buried somewhere in my collection, which is pretty eclectic.

The fun of it is over for me.

For the past three weeks I've been planning to pick up a new bumper cover for my Mustang. Every weekend the snow starts to come down again making the trip impossible.

I drove 150 km last saturday night. It was a nightmare. It took me 2.5 hours and saw two cars sliding off the road and into the barrier.

I also want to get started polishing and touching up the car but I can't do a thing with these low temperatures.

Come on, spring! Get a move on!

No snow here, but I liked the very last day of it. It was nice fluffy snow. Not killer ice type snow.

That is how the snow we got last week was, fluffy and easy to shovel, but the stuff that is still coming down now is turning into sleet and freezing rain, which tends to ruin any plans of leaving the apt. i might have. And I live beyond walking distance from anywhere.

OK. so a state trooper knocks on our door and tells us we have to get our cars off the side of the road or they will be towed. This means we had to shovel our whole driveway that was covered with three feet of snow and ice and dig out our 8 cars and park them in said driveway, all of which have two wheel drive rear.

Do you not have any grit? If only I was there, I like shovelling- dare I say.

Snowed here today for about 5-10 minutes, pathetic really :lol: It's now sunny so hopefully it'll dry up in the next few days so I can ride my bike on proper ground (not pavements)!

8 cars  :o. Surely your servants should have done the hard work for you  :)

Naw, I live in a duplex and all eight tenants have their own cars. I am just about broke.
