Weather ****ing snow - Page 2

****ing snow, ****ing work, ****ing stupid me for going in

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.

we got a little bit of snow today. road crews were no where to be seen, and the roads had not been cleared at all. when that snow gets packed down by cars, guess what, it turns to ice.

everyone else was driving around like they were delivering pizza on a summer night. if I got any momentum, my car slipped and slid around like a reeruned kid trying to ice-skate. its a miracle there weren't more accidents.

Do you seriously think that natural shifts in weather patterns over the billions of years of history of the earth stands for "global warming"?

No, I don't. I'm fully aware of the natural shifts. I'm also aware that burning a ton of CO2 producing shit has probably affected the current shift to a certain extent. Even my Environmental Studies professors in school weren't 100% sure to what extent exactly, but the trend is there.

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.
