Yaktrax for anyone who is as worried about falling on snow or ice as I am... these things make it possible for me to say I love snow.

It's just starting to snow here! I'm excited, but I'm also hibernating for the day. I'll watch it out the window.

Well, we are now over 2 feet of snow. I love the quietness of snow falling. And how it looks. However, I am tired of shoveling it.
I am loosing my patience in having to constantly keep up with the snowfall. It is just not stopping. |

Well choice number 3 works for me...LOL! ...and yes, I have really seen snow, and I always say, "If I want snow I'll go to it I don't want it comin to me...that goes for most of the time...but I don't mind snow at least a few times a year...and I do enjoy snow skiing! Does that answer your question? LoL!

So I voted that I like snow....I really do. HOWEVER......I have about 14 inches of it in my yard, and 4 foot piles where I have had to shovel paths for the pups.
I am now officially OVER snow. Please, whomever ordered this much so soon in the year, come get it. I am done! Thanks.

Yeah, I had a fun drive home Sunday night. You would've freaked out if you had been in the truck with me. I was a little surprised that even the highway was covered. Unfortunately it was melted by mid morning Monday. The next round has just started. The sleet is coming down pretty good in my area now and the roads are starting to get slick again. It looks like central AR will have a nice sheet of ice on the roads for rush hour in the morning. I usually put concrete blocks in the back of my truck, but I'm leaving it in the garage tomorrow and riding in with a coworker who has front wheel drive. I would think your toolbox in the back should help with the weight, so you'd probably be fine with just a little added firewood. I'm definitely leaving my faucets dripping the next few nights. We haven't had temps this cold in over 25 years. It appears we're gonna have around 5 consecutive days with the high temps below freezing and the lows in the teens and single digits. I think I would use the worklight under the house idea if I had a crawl space. It can't be any more dangerous than the Christmas lights! R told me today that alot of pipes froze in the dorms at the medical school last night and it was the biggest mess! And those dorms are only a few years old. Have you seen the heat tape that you wrap around the pipes and then plug into an outlet? |

Yes, Jack.... I have found, in my automotive studies, that a 5/30 or a 6/31 viscosity is ever so much better. And You may wish to consider a 3/4 steel plate....it looks pretty good with a set of them on a crisp white linen table cloth.....go on, try it! What might REALLY be cool would be to put the casket in the back of the truck with me inside and I could pop up the lid and wave to people just before they swerve off the road. .

With ever snow flake, with ever negitive degree.. I hate snowy winters more and more..
It's going to be -22 tommorrow morning.. and there is black ice.. People shouldn't be where it is -22.. and ice you can't see until you are spinning off the road or flat on your back in the parking lot.. I'm wearing pants to work because of the weather.. I had to go buy another pair... I wasted money on pants.. Enough is enough..

No! No! Nooooo! Don't let it fool you! On paper it looks okay. But you have to remember that winter weeks are kind of like dog years. One week of snow and ice and cold is like a month of nice weather. Every November/December I tell myself that's it no big deal, it won't be long before spring is here. And then in January I start asking myself how long it's been and isn't it time for spring? In February I'm sure it's time, but it's not. Then March comes and we all start wearing short sleeves when the temp gets above 45F because we're sure the warm weather is right around the corner. Then when we recover from getting sick from wearing short sleeves in the winter weather we go back to telling ourselves and each other that it's just about over. Then we finally hit April and it's still cold but they say that it's spring so we try to act like we're warm.

I live in the PNW and this year has been so fantastic! It HAS to be, to make up for the disaster that last year was. I think you are right with your dog year theory. I also think it's like childbirth. Oh, that was last year and I don't remember it hurting too much, yanno? Then it hits and you are reminded that, indeed, it hurts. |
