How many of you are iced-in your home right now?
 

Luckily I bought GTA 4 so I do not have cabin fever yet...and my GF has the Wii in the other room. Dallas was crushed by ice.

My boss lives somewhere out in Texas and he sent out an email today saying he was iced in and power was intermittent.

Its 65 and sunny here.
BRRR

My nigga from work was telling me about this. Then he told me a story about highland park. Dallas people are funny.

I'm kind of cold in the shop right now, but it's always chilly this close to the coast. 54 degrees, probably a bit warmer in the shop.

+1
65 in SLO as well.

Fuck this, I'm going home early :P

It was 67 on Monday morning when I left my house to go to my shop. When I got there it was 41 and it is only 10 minutes away. We have had a few "strategic" blackouts as they are calling them. They supposedly have a plan to turn off certain areas for X amount of time to help with this supposed power issue we are having.

It's -10 here.

Fuck you all.

I've been stuck at home since Tuesday and I expect the ice to go away on Saturday. I left earlier to hit the grocery store and my 1000' trip consisted of strategic momentum for a couple hills/driveways, one dude narrowly missing me, and a graveyard of stuck cars on the side of the road...and this is day #2.

Luckily I picked-up GTA4 and it's fucking great.

Lake shore drive is officially closed, abandoned cars everywhere, downtown is still unplowed, snow drifts up to 10 feet, power was out for 200,000 people, 30,000 are still out of power, winds up to 70mph, Chicago school system closed first time in 12 years, most businesses closed, 6000 o'hare flights cancelled and counting, 7 people died, 3 buildings collapsed, aliens have invaded. Oh, and I ran out of milk.

The gf and I have been home together for the past 2 days. This fucking weather is insane. Between the snow, the ice, and now this sleet/rain shit thats going on....I've been shoveling driveways and cleaning off roofs day after day.

Monday I had to change my dad's oil in our shop, which unfortunately doesn't have any heat in it. Laying on the dirty shop floor when its 30 degrees out is just old to me now.

More than halfway through the winter now, almost there! lol

Why you people put up with all that shit is beyond me.

My GF is on crack if she thinks I'm moving to the socialism ridden north east.

If she goes the GMU you can always be a roomie with Braineack and wear a snuggy together.

Fuck that man, the furtherest north I'd ever live is Atlanta and the furthest west would be Austin. I need to be surrounded by hot women or I go insane.

You do realize that Long Beach is both north of Atlanta and west of Austin, do you not?

You do realize that Long Beach is in California, do you not? I hate California. There's a reason why I can't live west of Texas. Even Nevada is too close to California Hell for me.

Time like this make it difficult for me to maintain somewhat professional decorum as the premier moderator of this forum and not edit your post accordingly.

It's supposed to ice up in Corpus tomorow around noon. Time to warm up the Manquoia 4x4...

Got into the 70s here today. 10:42 right now and 61 degrees.

it was in the 50s here today. lots of snow melted.

for what it's worth, i'm annoyed that my amazon order was stuck in DFW for an extra day. wahh wahh wahh

I require your sister's spicy cracker recipe.

No ice here in SA. But it is colder than nuts. Wind chill 14 now, was 7 last night. It is hilarious to watch the Mexicans bundled up like eskimos though.

Freaking cold. Was in the teens with wind chill last night. I'm hoping they cancel school on friday so I can get a day off from work. Hehe a snow day in Houston:laugh::bowrofl: I already have ideas of what i can do in the supposed 2" of snow :giggle:

You do your own research, request her off my facebook. I'm not taking part in any of her non meat eating activities, its unamerican. lol Her name is Kristian.

It's 40 something here in east TN. Even warmer here in the valley.

We got hit by ice about 6 weeks ago. It sucked ass.

75 degrees yesterday, 66 right now.

Global warming my ass.

yeah and now it's 25°F out. :vash:

If I had a pair of ice skates I could skate on my back yard. A few inches of snow covered in a solid couple inches of ice. Had work off yesterday though so all this crap is totally worth it.

I can't believe this is even a complaint... sounds like my weather for a good bit of the year...

I went out this morning at 7...started snowblower and was done snowblowing the driveway at 7:45, parked snowblower in garage and notice the blower is longer then my miata is wide.... Got in my crv with studded winter tires and easily drove to work by 8am, I didn't even pass one wrecked or stuck vehicle.

Its a balmy -7 out today... it hit -35 last week so this is awesome weather!

I don't think I've ever been iced in... I want to see pics of this

I havent been able to open the drivers door to my MINI in 2 days :(

don't you know, global warming only happens in the desert in summer.

How do you get to work?

Lol

Damn, it's at least fifteen degrees colder up here in Crystal River (1.5 hours north of Tampa and 3 hours north of you.) I can't wait to get back to Tampa where it isn't a chilly 69 degrees. I should have worn long sleeves today.

I had to turn the AC on last night? Does that count?

The MINI does have 2 doors. . .

Oh, well excuse me for not being well-versed on faggy cars.

We have had exactly two days out of the last 25 that were above freezing for a high. The last two were -30 windchill, -4 actual temp. It sucks.

That said, I need to update my worklog. Been in the shop every night since Friday. I keep that around 70. (Essentially) free wood heat FTW.

What Bond does when it's cold out:

"Dunno.....zzzzzzz"

Nice beer bong - always close at hand.

lol @ Bond.

:bowrofl: I love you

This is stupid. Last night it got to 16 degrees in Tucson and most of the water lines around town froze and burst this morning..... Fail much?

I had to blast the edges of my truck's door with a heat gun for 20 minutes before I could even open it. There's still a solid coating of ice on all the non-major roads up here..

Thats why they call it climate change now.

Funny my 6th grade science students know that you do not change your hypothesis if it is wrong.

BTW no work for me tomorrow :loser:

it was probably renamed "climate change" because people dont understand that single events (snow storms) dont have that big an impact on average global temperature.

similarly, people who go out and proclaim global warming is the cause of hot days in summer are just as mistaken.

It's not bad here at all, but I'm still told to not come in to work tonight, so ROCK!!! Low tonight is only in the upper 20's, and we can expect a half inch of snow by tomorrow, with more chances through Saturday.

Lulz when the rest of America gets snowed on. Of course, now that I'm in FL and not in WI, I don't miss it one fucking bit. No time soon will I go out to start the miata and find it covered in 2" of ice. Last winter I spent in WI we had a couple weeks where it was -20Fish in the morning and barely broke 5F during the day. I left about 10 sq in of airflow in the mouth of the miata so it'd stay warm on the highway. Cardboard ftw.

I happily contribute to global warming.

40% chance of snow my @ss.

Snow in Houston=fail

Weather forcast has changed :(

oh well day off from work still

We were supposed to have 1-2" of snow south and east of DFW... well, somebody needs to explain the 5 inches of fresh powder in my yard. And there's more coming.

~-10F today, 3-4' of rock hard snow on my lawn and the plow leaves 4' of snow to the curb. My snow blower was choking on the ice chunks while clearing some road parking.

All in all though not bad the last major snow my 5'6" aunt in London, ON was shorter than the snow on her lawn that fell in 2 days. There was a total of 7' there after 3 days, the sissies shut things down for a day.

cow farts?
