Weather ****ing snow - Page 7

****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.

I used to stupidly say that I liked winter better than summer because if I was cold, I could always put more clothes on. I was an idiot.

Come to Phoenix in August for a few days, you'll see that your original theory was a good one.

I would still rather deal with winter, at least I don't have to go out and mow my lawn in this shit.

Yeah, when you're a kid, snow is great, fun for sledding. I just hate winter more and more, and the foot gets colder, stepping more into the grave.

That what winter does to me. When are we going to see 40 degrees again in KC?

I was thinking more along the lines of San Diego.

True. I've noticed that the older I get, the less I like to be cold. I wish I could retire to Florida now instead of in 40 years.

It's a bone chilling 58 degrees today.

We used to go to Coronado but haven't for two years. San Diego has great weather but is so crosded now it just isn't as much fun for us.

It's a heat wave here! It's gone from -34 (-52 wind chill) to +10 in just a matter of days.

Well, that was fun.

My dumb ass realized at 11 pm I didn't have any food. I knew a little bit of a storm was hitting, so I figured I'd go ahead and get it over with now, instead of waiting for tomorrow. And of course the roads haven't been plowed at all. Only an inch or so I'd say, not too bad yet, but it was certainly more of an adventure than my usual trip to the store.

Best part was the half inch of snow on the windshield after I got done shopping. I didn't think it was falling that fast.

Non chalantly said "oh, it's not too bad" to the guy that rang everything up. To which he replied, "I just hit somebody on the way in."

Don't I feel like a shit.
