My main pet peeve is uneducated people claiming shit like "it's so cold outside, I thought there was global warming durrr..." Just ****ing stop already.

That posters comment was a friggin joke. Don't take the shit posted here so damn seriously.:shake:

We had at least 8 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and 11 inches in the last 48. We were told that if the weather was bad enough work would be closed today. No such luck.

Manufacturers, service businesses and even the university were closed today. The police said don't go in unless you have to. Of course, we (a service industry) are open.

I had to dig out of some 1-1/2 foot drifts on my driveway, had to rock the car back and forth to get momentum to plow through the neighborhood street and onto a main road. The end of my road was buried because the plows pushed snow off of the main road and onto the ends of neighborhood streets. While the side streets are terrible, the main roads are fine and I finally get onto it.

Two blocks from my home on the main road I had a choice of running into oncoming traffic at a stop light or running into a 4-5 foot snow bank because while the road had been plowed, there was no salt or sand to provide traction. I chose to slide into the snow bank and spent a good bit of time digging out. Thankfully I carry a shovel in my car and thankfully a couple of guys came by to help push me out.

So here I am at work with probably 15-20% of the staff. I am and idiot for coming in and I am pissed that I was asked to.

Wise choice picking the snow bank.

It would probably help if he wasn't a complete douche.

:cuss:

Good news: work is cancelled, whole city (DSM) is basically shut down with only police, service workers, road crew, and the national guard out.

Bad News: My driveway, which looks really cool in the summer, has steep 5-foot rock walls on both sides that naturally has this canyon effect leading to 4-foot piles of snow.

Woke up this morning to a monster 4-foot drift on my garage door. I've been at it for over 2 hours with a couple coffee breaks and I'm only halfway done.

victory. 5 hours, 4 coffee breaks.

Des Moines. The picture is a little bit deceptive because you cant see the rock walls and hills, but it was still a good 3+ feet of snow just because of the geography of my driveway. Most of my neighbors only had to deal with a foot and a half.

6 degrees and falling like a rock ... light wind doesn't help :cuss:

Hell it was 8 degrees here last night with 22 MPH winds which made the wind chill -14 degrees.

Friggin' cold here today. High of 16. Flurries, but no accumulation.

Anyone know what's in store for the KC area on Sunday?

Down to +4 here now. Can't wait for trash morning. ugh
