Snow Today Tuesday, February 01, 2011 3:01 PM (permalink)
0
So apparently something big blew through last night cause when i went to sleep at 2 it was raining then I woke up to it being cold as @!*% and around 2in of ice/snow combo. School was cancelled and the roads were terrible. Drove around for a bit and the sleet/snow compacted into basically a 2in thick layer of ice....pretty intense to drive on. The sides of the road were warm and had running water in them but as soon as it splashed up it instantly froze to the truck. I got back in the garage and the pathy door had been frozen shut   Went up to the school parking lot and had some fun, saw a fwd dodge caravan driven by some high school kids trying to drift  too

        Awesome, I was doing a slalom with the light poles at a warehouse parking lot up the street.

              Driving yesterday was fun, but to do so today would just be plain stupid.  I wanna go ice skate in the street

                  Thanks again Chris for the dedicated work on Dolly. I saw you got teary eyed too when we cranked her up.

                      I was ice skating in my  16000# work truck going about 5-10 miles per hour trying to make deliveries.  Had about 95 stops and brought back about 35 of them since I ran out of time.  I had issues in one parking lot that was sloped when I was making my del but the warehouse people helped me out.  We are really behind in deliveries since the weather is bad everywhere.  Times like these I don't want to be driving.  come on lotto

                          Haha I went to work today - The street leading to my job was just a solid sheet of polished ice. We had some fun watching an 18wheeler trying to backup to the dock without hitting cars or jackknifing.
                          Friday should be some fun with additional snow fall.
