I saw the forecast earlier that some of you guys might get 2-3"!
Around here thats a weekly thing but some of you folks have never seen salt road or a county plowtruck before.
After the crappy weather we have had up here so far this year its time to spread some love :!: :D

You're already spreading the love to NE La. expecting 17* to 21* the next 3 nites, and we just came off that last week, also some snow last week (didn't stick on the roads though)
I grew up in Chgo. i could take it when i was young, not the case any more.

8 tonight and 4 on Tuesday night with wind chill in the - numbers. The roads here have been salty for a few weeks the first hint of snow no matter if it is cold enough to stick or not or just a few flurries.

It's suppose to start snowing around 12 tomorrow. Hope all of you guys stay warm.

I know Rabbit we reached 66 yesterday. I was chopping kinling in a SS shirt.

Getting cloudy now they saying should start about 2pm.. My 8 year old is Jacked. I have to say I'm ok with it. There are some people mostly kids that has never seen snow here in their home state. Our SCDPT is not equipped like the guys up north. I mean they have snow equipment just not a lot of it.

BJ i remember when i got talked into moving to Anderson in 1967 by my Cousin, he said get away from the snow, Ya well it snowed 5" that first winter i was there.
But today i'm feeling the love from up north, It's up to 23* now and still snowing we have about 2" and the roads are solid ice, the only salt we have is in the kitchen cabinets for cooking. It's supposed to go down to 16* tonite. Winds are 15/20 MPH.

I REALLLLLLLLY shouldn't be bichin' ...We've actually had it VERY easy here compared to the rest of the Nation. Just sustained cold due to inversion, no snow or bad ice issues. I'm just being a whiner . :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Here is the extreme for me, 3 years ago we got blasted with a storm that left me stranded at home for 3 days. They had to use a V-plow truck with a salt truck pushing on the back to bust through this mess 200 feet to the east of my driveway.

The picture is deceiving so this is a shot from the inside of my 97 Ram 4x4 that had a 30" tires on it.

Once you got to the intersection and turned south it was just 1 lane.

To be honest with you that was a great 3 days at home, we were prepared for it and had some fun.
Now this cold we have had this month is horrible, give me a foot or two of snow but the negative temps and even worse wind chills suck ars!

It's been raining here since about 5:30pm and now at 9:00pm it's turning to snow. It's suppose to be 26 by 1:00am so we will probably have a nice layer of ice on the ground with a few inches of snow on top.

Most schools were closed today and tomorrow and we sent everybody home at work at 11:00 am.
