It's still snowing a little here. Also some sleet and freezing rain. We have only about a 1/2 inch.

So far it's only a dusting but coming down pretty steady. I imagine it's gonna last all night.
Big Ugly Transport Truck is parked out in the middle of it. These these are a lot of fun to crawl around on when covered in ice and snow. Last week we had a guy lose his balance while loading. He fell off from the top ramp, about 10 feet off the ground, to his landing on a concrete pad. He broke his collarbone. He was very lucky. One of our drivers fell off the same spot of the truck while loading in Lawrenceville GA, landing on his head and ending his life.
Just one or two of the many reasons why I hate snow.

12-18 inches expected tonight/tomorrow..the snow blower is all gassed up..
I are, thanks. That morning, leftover wet conditions from rain the night before, froze into a thin coating of ice that coated the complete surface area of BUTT. The first hour of daylight is always the coldest temps of the day. I always wait until the Sun gets a bit higher in the sky before driving anything on. Even a little frost atop those metal ramps is very slick. Some folks happen to seem to be in a bit more of a hurry than they need to be. What goes up, has to come down. It's never the fall, that might be a problem. It's always that sudden stop at the bottom.Very Duke Blue wrote:

Glad your powers that be have some sense. The varnish zone administration building opens at 9, the courthouse at 10. We can't get people to court when the weather is good; I have no idea who they think will show up in this stuff.captmojo wrote:I are, thanks.

Our 'powers that be' (Respect my authori-tie!), made the good taste decision that we should all stay home today.
agree..snow much easier to deal with than ice..even when we have mixing and sleet up here, it's nothing like the ice storms down south..Very Duke Blue wrote:Hope you don't have ice with the snow.bluebeer wrote:Me too..though it'll be spring down there a lot sooner than up here in MA..devildeac wrote:I'm ready for spring .

Nope. Just juvenile court today. I suspect defendants will be few and far between. They'll just be summonsed to appear for a new date.captmojo wrote:No quotas for non-appearance warrants, are there?lawgrad91 wrote:

We doth give them far too much credit, actually. Were it not for the accident of last week, the situation could very well be different.lawgrad91 wrote:

I'm all gassed up, too, but that must be from the refried beans I had over the weekend.bluebeer wrote:Me too..though it'll be spring down there a lot sooner than up here in MA..devildeac wrote:I'm ready for spring .
