Hi!

[null and void]

KPIX 5, I don't actually get it at my house unless I stand there and hold the rabbit ears...

[Mo1]

Finally stopped snowing .. might get more on Monday .. Oh goodie

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/news/2703_snow.html

[Mo1]

Bummer I can't find your interview ..

[ValerieUSA]

They say it's a 60% chance of snow here tomorrow. I'll take pictures if it happens.

[and the horse you rode in on]

Hah, you'll take pictures whether or not it happens.

You're not missing much.

Thanks for posting my article on the last thread Mo. I LOVE Mark Steyn. He has got to be one of the best writers ever. He always says what I want to say but can't find the exact words for!! LOL

[Mo1]

Cool .. how many inches

[Mo1]

Don't be so modest

Well the famous shuttle picture appeared .. yep .. plain as day it was damaged

Air Force imagery confirms Columbia wing damaged (with picture)

LOL .. words you wish more in the media would say also

[null and void]

I was on for all of maybe 3 seconds...

[ValerieUSA]

oh... inches of snow?
The prediction started with one inch, but I just heard on the radio that we could have 3 inches by tomorrow afternoon - which would be awesome here.

[Mo1]

3 inches?? .. that should shut the town for a few days

[Mo1]

Only 3 seconds ... hmmmmmm

[lodwick]

3 threee inches - 3 seconds?

We can do better than this.

[null and void]

Speak for yourself...

[Mo1]

One would think so

[lodwick]

Yep -3 and 3 is way substandard, although if we received more than that amount of snow in CenTex our gooses (geeses) would be cooked for sure.

Cheers all. ;-)

[Canadian Outrage]

Well I just made it home so now I can post for a few minutes. LOL Poor Swervie. It must be killin him to have to just lurk. The 14th isn't that far away. Guess some subjects just need to be avoided.

[Mo1]

I will never understand why the southern states go into a panic when it snows

It will melt .. it always does

[Mo1]

I just got done reading that thread .. Ebola ???

Maybe he should have picked a different disease

[lodwick]

Maureen -
1) Our homes are not constructed to deal with it.
2) Our roads are not constructed to deal with it.
3) What mass transit we have is not constructed to deal with it.
4) And the main reason that we dread it - our pinhead drivers are not constructed to deal with it.

In other words, we suck in bad weather. Big time.

[Mo1]

In other words, we suck in bad weather. Big time

I've noticed .. LOL It's snow .. it will melt .. especially in Texas
Got a heater .. turn it on
When driving .. drive slow and steady and NEVER slam on the brake .. as long as you're not stuck on a hill you'll be fine

In other words .. slow down and also the day it snows .. stay home

[Canadian Outrage]

Well the sun is shining here!! We can't believe it.! We are gonna pay for this sooner or later. This is an orchard area and the water restrictions are gonna be brutal. No spring run off = no water. Also, the trees and grape vines may just start budding and then we'll get a sudden freeze. That will be curtains for the growers for this year. My plants are starting to sprout out of the ground???? It's totally bizarre.

[Mo1]

Oh goodie it's my favorite time of night

The kiddies go to bed .. BBL

[Canadian Outrage]

psst - David said it's those damn 4 winter tires I was carping about!! FOFL!!

[Canadian Outrage]

OK!! Nobody's talkin - I'm going to get something to eat. BBL

THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA HAS DECLARED A SNOW EMERGENCY BEGINNING AT 1:00 P.M. DO NOT PARK ON CORNERS OR SNOW EMERGENCY ROUTES

Is it normally legal to park on corners when there is not a snow emergency?

[.38sw]

Snow? We had frost here yesterday morning. Brrrrr.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Well the famous shuttle picture appeared .. yep .. plain as day it was damaged

I'm not seeing the damage... maybe valerie can clean up the image with her photo tools!

[operation clinton cleanup]

I was on for all of maybe 3 seconds...

Crap! Just 14 minutes and 57 seconds short of you being famous! At least you have another bullet statement for your resume (T.V. Personality)!

[Mo1]

I see that you have never been to Philly

[operation clinton cleanup]

If I still lived in North Carolina, winter would have ended last weekend. Here in Cincinnati, we are now entering phase II.

[operation clinton cleanup]

I realized parking was tight, but on corners?

[and the horse you rode in on]

So are we. February is usually the worst month

[Mo1]

Parts of Philly, the streets are so narrow that only one car can fit on the street .. many times you'll see the cars parked half way in the sidewalk just so there is room for other cars to pass down the street.

And since there are some pretty big hills in Philly .. most folks will park their cars at the top of the hill so they can get out because the city NEVER plows those roads.

Out of the 24 years I lived at my mothers, I can count on one hand how many times that street was plowed

if you go to "
VIDEO: John Rawlins reports from Roxborough and Manayunk" on that link I gave .. that is my old stumping grounds .. and there are some huge hills in Manayunk

One time I watched a coke a cola truck try to get up the hill and never made it .. it slid back down the hill and took about 5 cars with it ..

Was not a pretty picture

[operation clinton cleanup]

This is my first winter "up North" since 1986, and I forgot what a joy it is.

[Mo1]

FOFL ... admit it .. you love being back up in Yankee Land

[operation clinton cleanup]

I spent 12 hours in Philly waiting on a flight to the Gulf. We took a train in town in search of cheese steak sandwiches.. and I do remember how narrow the streets were and how close the cars parked together on the street. I am a decent paralell(?) parker.. but I need more than 6 inches from bumper to bumper to deal with!

[operation clinton cleanup]

FOFL ... admit it .. you love being back up in Yankee Land

I admit it... I feel like I am home again. People are so much nicer here.

[Mo1]

and how close the cars parked together on the street. I am a decent paralell(?) parker.. but I need more than 6 inches from bumper to bumper to deal with!

6 inches .. HAHAHA .. good luck finding a parking spot

Looks like the local Fox van had a problem last night

[westmex]

Bryce Canyon, just to warm the snow bound up...

.......Westy......

[operation clinton cleanup]

I feel warmer already... ahh the desert.

[.38sw]

I don't miss snow. I used to ski, a lot, and I do miss skiing. But I don't miss driving in snow, or shoveling the stuff.

[operation clinton cleanup]

I have to park on the street for the first time in my life... I try to give at least 18 inches as a courtesy.

[operation clinton cleanup]

It looks nice.. until you have to deal with it.

[Mo1]

It looks nice.. until you have to deal with it.

That why I bought a snowblower .. one of the best investments I ever made

plus the Hubby now takes care of the snow and I just watch from the window
