I fear I have to go to school tomorrow... Need to go make sure I can get my car out of the drive, If not I need to go get out a tractor and make a path....

I remember days like that growing up in Bend OR. Sort of glad I moved to Tacoma area. At least when we get snow the place shuts down, but I learned to drive in the snow along time ago.

We've got about 4 inches so far but the big storm hasn't made it here yet.
How's Rick doing? Got mucus?

Evening Pete, naw I won the battle of the cold, unfortunately it was at the cost of not getting any work this weekend.

Stijn!!
 
The drifts in the back yard are 4 feet deep.

The official snow total is 12 inches in the OKC area.

Tonight will be the coldest night in 15 years.

Got a wood stove Glen?
Nothing heats better than a good old wood stove.

GH85Carrera 02-01-2011 02:50 PM

Stijn!!
 
Nope. No wood stove. The fireplace is just natural gas.

I would have to argue that nothing heats better than natural gas central heat. As long as the electricity stays on :)

Stijn!!
 
The new snowfall total is official. 13.5 inches. 35 to 40 mph winds. The low forecast is now to back zero!

-4 for Thursday morning.

I hate this global warming!!!!

Glen, I will remind you that it was almost 80 last week....

I find you all in contempt! No booty for you.

Around noon went out in the Rover. Deep snow. Non-eventful cruise around town. Almost nothing was open. Even snow routes only had one lane semi-cleared and those would high center a medium sized dog. News was showing a lot of people in trucks and SUVs getting stuck. Looked like 2 wheel drive to me.

Stopped in a parking lot that a guy in a pickup with snow blade was clearing. It had some 3-4 foot drifts. Asked if he would get me out if I got stuck playing, he said to have fun. Rover just plowed through with no problems. Pretty happy with my $800 snow truck. The heated windscreen even worked well on all the blowing snow.

SWOSU opens at 10am tomorrow! My classes are at 8 and 9!

pete3799 02-01-2011 04:58 PM

You'll have to get in the time machine to make that work.

porsche4life 02-01-2011 05:01 PM

Means I don't have to go to class!

pete3799 02-01-2011 06:25 PM

Not so fast there young fella.
Why i used to walk through 5 foot snow drifts in my bare feet to get to school.
And yes it was all up hill.

Porsche-poor 02-01-2011 06:52 PM

porsche4life 02-01-2011 06:54 PM
