Finally time for cannibalism, the news is making it out to be snowpocalypse 0'11. So what plans do you have for the wintery day?
|
|
working tonight, probably later than normal
so I figure the snow will hit while I'm still in the office then I'll get home and not too long after going to bed my neighbor will wake me up with his snow blower, if I'm lucky I'll fall back asleep for a bit then have to get up and do my own driveway before I go to work in the afternoon |
you could probably make more money by calling into work, and cruising the roads with your 4x4 and a tow strap and charging idiots who feel its necessary to pass you in there prius, only to end up in the ditch  .. I will be going to work, ill plow my way there if I must..

Is it snowing more than ever or is the media just going berserk over it? I grew up around WNY and don't ever remember the snow being such a big deal nor a surprise in the middle of winter. Must be a slow news day. I remember getting multiple feet at a time and it was just another news day. Cable News networks are the root of all of this |

I remind people of what I'm used to which is the opposite: 95+ degrees and 100% humidity for weeks.
im getting up and going to work like any other day. its a few inches of show, GET OVER IT. remember the days when you guys woke up and couldnt open your front door because you got 7 FEET over night.??????? |

I lol'd when I heard that all the schools had closed even before the snow got here. Of course the kids were elated, but I see that we got only about 2 inches overnight. It used to be that a snow day came when it was so bad that they couldn't even get the plows out to clear the roads. I guess I'll go out and shovel off the driveway. Why bother with the snow blower?

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile This one really didn't live up to expectations for NYS. Yesterday was worse. We only got about 4" here in Irondequiot , but it was the heavy stuff. Hey we dodged another bullet! We should be grateful. Look at what some areas of the country got. BTW, yesterday it took me an hour and a half to drive to Canandaigau. And that was after rush hour traffic! |

The problem as I see it is that this is at least the third time this winter that our local weathermen have been wrong in their storm forecasting. If it keeps up people will stop listening to these guys when the warning is legitimate |
What a crock.

If it keeps up people will stop listening to these guys when the warning is legitimate I know what you're saying, but still better this way than not having a warning and getting slammed. Back when ( late 70's I believe) Rochester had the blizzard that never was. Monster snow warning,it's barreling our way, the entire city was shut down by noon or so. My boss one security guard and I were the only ones left in the entire plant. ( we were running a special heat treating process that could not be readily shut down). A lot of guys left us their lunches because at that time we were prepared to stay the night and beyond as necessary. IIRC Buffalo got slammed but the storm veered off before our area. Boy did that "failed" storm prediction make the headlines for the next several days. But it's Mother Nature and she can be very unpredictable. |
