Let It Snow, Ya, Great

I had to hike 2 miles to work because the roads were locked up. I say hike because being right on lake superior, the wind blows up all the drifts into the roads off the shore, so I was plowing through 2 feet of snow the whole way. I can't believe I made it here on time. Looks like I might be stuck here for the night, too, because the night guy has a shitty car, and he gets stuck all the time. I can't leave because I am liable for my clients... but I REALLY don't want to be here for 16 hours. Yeesh. It was pretty awesome hiking down here though, I love this shit, it was like an epic journey.This is why I'll never leave the Midwest, or at least not the climate. The more temperate climes are just to tame for me.

I hear ya man... what part of MN? South of TC here and she is snowing alright.



I'm up north, Leech lake.

At least we are not in Duluth! That town is insane when the roads are bad. Easy to find the lake though... just wait until the car quits sliding.. and baring any drifts you are at the lake!

Sounds like my replacement is going to make it, but I can't get any of my asshole friends to give me a lift, not because of the weather, but because it is TOO LATE. How the hell is 10 pm too late for any college student? Bah.

I have seen cars spinning by on the avenues going downhill many times, quite amusing.

wasn't TOO bad in Chicago. The worst part probably was that the van likes to slip and slide all over the road since there's barely any tread left in the tires. Sure it's fun, when you wanna do it, but when you HAVE to stop.... Yea....

In other news, the snow stopped and the roads should just be called sheets of ice.

Holy shit that was epic. Not the hight, it was only about 1 foot, with drifts of snow up to 4 feet high right on the sides of the road down on London road(closest road to the lake) but the world is covered in snow. The plowing just did not happen today, anywhere but the freeway. I walked the 2 miles home down the middle of the road, and maybe ran into 40 vehicles (thats nothing for Duluth). The only visible paths were the tire tracks, and even they were sparse. I walked up one of the big avenues on the hill, and people were turning sideways and running off the road into parking lots. I even saw a cop swerve off into a lot, then turn around and drive back out.
Its nice to see the MN will finally have a real winter again. biggrin.gif

Yes. What's your point?

Congrats you can use google. I might also add it's considered a friendly kind of banter in the uk.

It is not meant as an insult.

You would have to be daft.

4 hours with a bobcat to get my driveway clear this AM. That after an hour of digging to get to the bobcat. The snow drifted against the door as high the roof of the pole barn. This is nae snow so much as it is punishment. I'm not sure just what for, but it's punishment never the less. I had a disturbing cartoon bubble vision of sinking to the bottom of the drift, only to be discovered, a blue popsicle, next spring.

I have always thought of it as a friendly banter myself, Like so much of The Queen's English, it's lost in translation to American.

Whits fur ye'll no gin by ye!

Me too. I'm used to getting a solid day of boarding in at Snowshoe before Christmas. Sucks that it hasn't been cold enough for a snow yet. And too bad I'm now 5-6 hours away instead of 3.
