Endless Winter

Anyone else given up trying to keep their cars clear of snow?

Nope....

With subfreezing temps the rest of the week and wanting to drive my Olds, it feels like its endless.

Snow? Not a problem for me anymore.

Welcome to the light side, my friend.

Thanks, it feels good. This weekend was wonderful. Bummer I had to spend most all of it inside cleaning and unpacking.

You missed our yearly winter, though. When temps dip into the 30s and then we decide that we're tired of that **** and go back to 75 degrees.

This was my commute to work.

The weather patterns are crazy,.
I,m home for a week from the northern end of british columbia because,.
The weather is so warm there we can't get into the bush for the wood,.
No frost at night so no night shifts either,. not so good for revenue this year,.
I,ve come home to freezing weather,.with nasty windchills,. but not such huge snowfalls as last year, (22ft las year)
I,m hoping to fly back thursday to cooler workable tempretures,.
It is a very uncomfortable feeling to slither down a mountain on greasy mud with all tire chains on, and still unable to stop,..I,m too old to be scared while doing my job,.

Well its now official. I am living in the coldest Capital City in the world, at least for today

It was positively balmy in Moscow today. plus 2C (35.6 F). We were at minus 23C (-9.4 F) today with windchills down to minus 40 (C and F).

Tell me again why we live here?

Jay I've got a car in my yard that's completely disappeared. All the other junk is inside for the winter however.

You sir,inhale with great force.

The lows were in the 20s late last week. Only for a couple hours though. Once the sun comes out, that stuff is gone.

record breaking cold temps, yeah lots of fun driving to work watching the temp gage jump up and down as the thermostat opens and closes until the rad gets warm enough to keep it open!

The moment we left NY that place has gotten hammered every winter since. My heart goes out to you.

We got 7" of snow 2/25/15 in Huntsville. Everything just shut down. It all melted off the roads by 4pm the following day.

While at the plumbing store today picking up parts, I overheard one of the workers talking about that this winter has been the worst yet, they said frost in the ground has gone beyond 4 feet and they are getting a lot of calls for frozen water lines.

Lots of water main brakes here in Rochester, NY... It's going to be bad when it all starts to thaw. A lot of older cities like Roch. still have wood/clay water mains under ground. Things will be a mess this April. Stock up on some extra drinking water if you live up North as a precaution.

Very good Ray! I laughed out loud at the graphic. I have family up north, and I try very hard to not discuss the weather. My wife went back to our Pittsburgh house for 5 days to help celebrate her mom's 90th birthday, and she said the weather has been miserable. When I told her yesterday I was swimming in our pool just before I called her I thought she was going to hang up on me.
