Yeah, it was neato!!!!! Took me 30 min to get in, normaly 10 as well. Roads were slicker than snot!!!
Got there and they were trying to run the forklifts in this crap! They got one stuck, then two others stuck trying to get it out!! That took an hour with my truck. Then another one got stuck at another building. A semi got stuck/jackknifed geting out of one of the buildings. I called the company that was supposed to plow it, "Are you sure you really need it plowed today sir?" I tell them the story, "Yeah, we'll be out in an hour!" Two hours later she calls back, "He's in town plowing, and you are right up on the list and he will get there, as soon as he gets his truck started." Yeah, going well so far!!
So two PALLETS of ice melt later, I got a spreader and hooked it up to the back of a golf cart (don't ask). Then I took a pallet on the forklift and plowed what I could with that.
I called the other place back, four hours later, and told them not to bother!!
I need a drink!!

Nowhere near that kinda drama here,I just had to shovel the front stairs, and swept the rear ones. Did sell 2 blowers and, took a parts order. I'm ready to go home. Pretty much stopped snowing here, got a total of around 5" to 6" all together. Sounds like a fun time Andy. :what:

I agree with the Vista thing. I bought a new HP tower, it's been a pain. I was going to get a cord for my phone but not sure if it will work on the new computer. Not sure if any of the cameras will even work. Being computer dumb is one thing, but to be computer dumb with new stuff that no one knows or understands really sucks.

Jeff- My newest camera doesn't have any readily identifiable link for transferring pictures to my computer either. I pretty much have to right-click on the picture, hit 'cut' (or 'copy') and then go to my pictures file on my computer and paste the image there.

We got around 2" of snow last night, temps in the teens. Wrecks everywhere, all schools closed. I don't remember them closing school when I was kid for 2" of snow. Then again it could be closed because of the cold temps.

No , your remembory is ok. People seem to be getting very soft as well as paranoid about some lawyer seeing an excuse to sue.

well it doesnt take much snow or ice here to make driving very sketchy, guess the rules have tightened up a bit over the years.

I can tell ya 6"s doesn't close any schools here. As a matter of fact I don't recall school ever being closed/cancelled due to snow. We're prepared for it here though not like you coasties.
