Can we just cancel the rest of winter already?

Over-Head · 02-01-2006, 03:20 AM

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.

Now we've got another 15cm's down and 50cm's, yes folks FIVE ZERO MORE getting dumped on us today.

That will be close to 70cm's in 2 days.

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?

Here's what's coming at us now

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

what's a cm?

cheesemaker?

**Smed1065** · 02-01-2006, 07:54 AM

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-

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?

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

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!!!

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

I doubt it, I have all my teeth

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

**Bugeater** · 02-01-2006, 09:03 AM

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 · 02-01-2006, 09:24 AM

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.

**Iowanian** · 02-01-2006, 09:49 AM

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

Eleazar · 02-01-2006, 09:58 AM

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

ZepSinger · 02-01-2006, 10:04 AM

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 · 02-01-2006, 10:15 AM
