Harry Potter Fans With No Life

Well, One to three inches of snow sure make the roads a slippery mess. Yuck and ew. Got about 6" yesterday...so glad I didn't have to drive in it. Not sure if we're getting any today BUT we are supposed to get freezing rain changing to rain. Just what I need...more ice on my driveway. Oh joy.

We need Tonks to tell us about how nice summer is about now....

Or Sixxy...

nasty stuff Moo!

Us ... we are still in a deep freeze. I am getting rather tired of -38C to -45C (with wind)
We are supposed to get about 3 days reprieve this week ... I sure hope so!!!

Hope your reprieve gives you an extra day just to thaw out, Howler. We had that kind of crap in December and parts of January. Anything we get now only lasts about a day, sometimes two. But still sucks. The only good thing about the wind...tends to dry out a lot of melting. Our school bus here on the Island has had it rough the past 2 times we had freezing rain the night before.

Normally, at 6:41 am, the bus goes to the end of my street (just past my house), pulls up then backs up then drives down the street. Well, she's wound up sliding. The first time a couple of weeks ago trying to back up, this morning trying to pull up. The maintenance guys (plow and treat the roads) had to sand the road for her until she had traction to complete her turn. The first time was definitely the scariest - she ever-so-slightly "kissed" the snow bank but was somehow able to drive backwards very slowly down the street and wait for the maintenance guys to treat the road for her. Don't know why the maintenance guys don't treat my road earlier...they show up around 7 am usually. Go figure.

I hear you! Weather related jobs should be started when needed - not by a time clock.
If a blizzard starts at 4 am, then the road crews should be out, not wait until 7. People have to get to work and children have to go to school.
The same thing happens here too ... sad isn't it!

Yup. They seem to forget not everyone has an 8 to 5 job. For the past several weeks, most mornings as I'm starting my way to for work, I've had to drive 8 mph or less down my street because to go any faster, one could end up fishtailing down the road (done that once years ago) or not being able to turn and wind up in the trees (just missed this one). sheesh...

Well, after a few days with temps either side of 40, low 20's yesterday with wind and this morning snow. But temps are supposed to be either side of 40 later; 50 - 60 Monday and Tuesday, 70 Wednesday, 30 - 40 Thursday and Friday. Maine weather...don't like it, wait 5 minutes. It'll change!

I don't know Moo. Those temps sure beat what we are getting! (0°F or lower)
oh well ... spring is right around the corner right! Then I will complain about the weeds I have to pick hahahah
