Can we just cancel the rest of winter already?

[Over-Head]

I realize I live in a country where we get 9 months of snow and 3 months of bad skiing and all.
But this is really starting to get on my nerves.
15cm's of white fluffy shit came down last night resulting in me shoveling the driveway prior to going to bed. :cuss:
Now we've got another 15cm's down and 50cm's, yes folks FIVE ZERO MORE getting dumped on us today. :deevee:
That will be close to 70cm's in 2 days. :eek:
You got any idea how many shovel fulls 70 F'ing cm's of snow is??
Why the fu@k didn't I buy a snow blower again this year? :banghead:

Here's what's coming at us now

They use the metric system everywhere but the US dude.

Thats sux. It was too hot here today, if that's any help.

[the Talking Can]

what's a cm?

cheesemaker?

[Smed1065]

Yes, I remember we switched to metric years ago. I know because they taught me for 3 years in grade school because we had to switch. The first in many lies I was told in grade school- :)

[Over-Head]

Yes, and I hate you too!
It's currently -11 with a wind chill of -25 wafting in from the northeast at a gazillion kph/mph's take your pick it's mighty f'en windy right now



what's a cm?

cheesemaker?
That would be a "centimeter".
A unit of metric measurement, based on 10's.
Don't you "Yankies" learn anything else in school besides how to drink Jack, boil grits, and watch HeHaw? ROFL

There are approx. 2.5cm's in an inch, you know the archaic measurement that the USA the LAST country on earth in the global trading market uses, thus confusing everyone else as your too stubborn/stunned to figure out :D j/k
Here's an online calculator so you'll never have to be confused again. :)

And I swear if that co@ksucker driving the plow burry's my driveway one more time this morning I'm going to hunt him down and kill the bastard, which ain't gonna be hard to do, the whole fu@ken island is only 12 sq miles.
HE CAN"T HIDE ALL DAY!!! :cuss:

I suggest you move to southern Arkansas. You'd fit in really well down there.

I doubt it, I have all my teeth ROFL

Nice area though, I used to run through there quite a bit when I was trucking.
On the way to Houstan i'd drop south from Hope and cut through Shreveport on 29 and 7

Hell, it seems like winter has been cancelled down here. I've only used my snow blower once, I'm about ready to put the damn thing back in the shed.

[HMc]

Winter here means you need to take your suit jacket to drinks on the harbour after work on fridays.

No need for it at the moment, though.

December was looking pretty harsh in Iowania, but I'm pretty sure we've leapfrogged Jan and landed in March.

[Eleazar]

I think it's going to be near 60 degrees here today, and sunny. (that's 16 degrees for you metric commies)

[ZepSinger]

Fraggle Rock must be located in Antarctica. Here in good ol' KC, we're having about the mildest January ever. Many days in the 50s and 60s... :)

[StcChief]

we already did.

[Dunit35]

16 degrees above the normal high in Wichita for January.

[Over-Head]

Fraggle Rock must be located in Antarctica.
No, No, NO!
Look at a word map, see that big red patch right above the USA, go as far to the right of it as you can.

It's quite apparent to me that sympathy for you bunch is in the dictionary, right between sh!t and syphilis :banghead:

And that fu@ken plow operator just buried my driveway AGAIN, anyone got a spare set of nut hooks? :#

[Over-Head]

Here's what it pritty much looks like outside my front window right now

The camera must be buried in the snow, I don't see anything.

Meanwhile, traffic is moving nicely on I-80 in Omaha.

Only if the raido tower it's sitting on fell over.

I was shocked the first time I drove on that stretch of I-80 at rush hour. It was like combat.

[mike_b_284]

pei?, I used to date a canuk, gotta be crazy to live there through the winter. It's nice in the summer though, not to mention when the cold breaks the girlies walk around half naked.

[Over-Head]

pei?.
Nope, The granite planet NFLD., the home of Screech, scrunchions, and pan fried Cod tongue's :thumb:
Not to mention the only place in Canada where you can Watch Icebergs while suntanning in July :D

[BigMeatballDave]

They use the metric system everywhere but the US dude. WE USE 2-LITRE SODA BOTTLES!!1! That is enough...
ROFL

The stretch pictured is in west O, it's not so bad. You must be thinking farther east towards downtown and across the river into C.B. It is combat during rush hour along there.

[Over-Head]

Well the snow stopped. :)
AFTER we got another 34cm's last night. :banghead:
The power has been going off and on since 6am, and the wind is now gusting up to 140kph.
I FU@KING HATE WINTER :cuss:
It took 2 hours of snow shoveling just to get to the car from the house, that was of course after I crawled out a window and tunneled out the back door.
If I ever manage to learn how to attach pic's to threads I'll post some of this storm.
My house is a 1 level (low roof line) bungalow, and the snow is over top of my veranda in the front. From the wind pushing it.

Out back were at the 5ft level.
Hell I woke up this morning and thought it was still the middle of the night as my bedroom windows were covered (That would be 8ft of drifting from ground level)
Took me another hour of shoveling just to find my car :deevee:
And that prick of a plow operator just burried my driveway AGAIN :mad:

Why the hell didn't I buy a snow blower this year? :banghead: :banghead:

[Bob Dole]

56 degrees and overcast. Not much of a winter thus far.
