Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyh.

[who knows what evil?]

He’s going to get a lot more than a ‘four hour guarantee’...

My dad used to plow the town of Wayland. Back before it was a license to steal.

[Little Bill]

The kid has been plowing for them for the last 10 years, they are actually pretty tough on their contractors, after a small scandal or two. The kid plays it straight.

[OCCASparky]

Good for him. But I still gotta drive through that crap. I hope the snowblower is up to it. And thank God for 4WD.

[Little Bill]

Seabrook looks like it is going to get hit badly also, you Can always get snowed in on the clock, happened to me once, years ago.

[OCCASparky]

We are too, Bill. Strafford County included in the blizzard warning issued at 3 PM today...

[OCCASparky]

He’s going to get a lot more than a ‘four hour guarantee’...

True 'dat! All I can think of now is Gilligan's Island theme..."A three-hour tour, a three-hour tour..."

[Little Bill]

Well if the past is prologue what ever you get I will get double, I am on a snow line. I was in Newburyport and missed the warning. I will have to check my generator in the morning.

[screaminsunshine]

Uggghhh! I am cold in Tampa. These Texas lows signal cold weather.

[the invisib1e hand]

It tough on the trucks, I know that. And brutal hours. Insurance must bea killer now, too.

[Little Bill]

Seasonal registrations, being an excellent mechanic, and he is still fairly young. The killer is finding good drivers who don't wreck the damned things. He runs four trucks 1 1/2 pay the expenses.

It’s not just the snowfall total.

Blizzard warnings are only issued when sustained winds are over 35 mph with higher gusts and visibility reduced to less than a quarter of a mile for over 3 hours.

The amount of snow is not really relevant as the blowing winds causing whiteouts and drifting are the problem, even when the snowfall totals are light.

[torchthemummy]

One of the greatest gags ever. They did in Minnesota or something, I believe. Either way, absolutely brilliant idea and stellar execution.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

That picture is a living grotesquerie. Now you know how Maryland felt last winter.

[FreeReign]

The Blizzard Warning marked in red, now includes NE NJ, NYC, LI, Coastal Conn, RI and parts of Eastern Mass.

[MacMattico]

Hey I'm in NY and put in a pool a couple of years back, thinking global warming would give me at least 7 months a year of pool use. Now we get an ice age! Can I sue Algore for the cost of my pool?! Now I'll have to use those fossil fuels to run my pool heater.

[Redleg Duke]

I was scheduled on a flight from Manchester to Philly for tomorrow morning. USAIR called last night after 10 PM to tell me it was canceled.

I need to get a generator transfer switch installed this morning and tested out as well as put up a couple of tarps on the carport.

Button-up, everybody!

[marmot84]

We are about to be 2 feet deep in global warming!

[OCCASparky]

Well, it's official. Blizzard WARNING for our area. Total accumulation is anywhere from 12-20 inches between now and tomorrow evening.

And yet management at the plant hasn't made any determination as to whether or not to only call in essential personnel. Shocking, really. I look at it this way--if there's a chance I can't get home tomorrow night, I'm not leaving tomorrow morning, what with the critters and all.
