Author Message   Geforce Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 07:34 pm:        Armageddon! Apocalypse! Anyone preparing for the coming storm? These "Misery" folks are freakin' out like it's the end of the world and we haven't seen a flake of snow yet. Schools are already closed tomorrow, post is closed tomorrow. So what will I be doing... homework. Ice, snow... got it. We have enough food/water stockpiled for a few months. About the most horrendous thing that could happen would be for the electricity to go out.   Panhead_dan Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 07:39 pm:        It seems like the media is really loving freaking people out lately. I let it get to me a little a couple of weeks ago but at church 2 sundays ago Pastor Trevor's topic was all about this and he made me feel a lot better. "Give in and give it to God". Works for me!   Geforce Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 07:50 pm:        Amen, I spent the day getting work done and laughing at the media and generally feeling sorry for those who dive head first into the hype. Not to say, that if I lived on the coast and I was told that a massive hurricane was coming our way... I would get the #$!@ outta town.   Weaponxbs Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 07:59 pm:        I look at it as IF it happens THEN I'll deal with it. I'm in Northern Il. and they're forecasting up to 24" of this nasty white STUFF. More often than not they're off by quite a bit.

It's too cold for freezing rain so probably just a bunch of snow until afternoon on Tuesday.   Doerman Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 08:35 pm:        Good to hear you're around and kickin' Corey! Same here in LA when we have the fire season. I actually get phone calls from friends and relatives overseas to ask if I am ok, since CNN and others make it seem like all of LA is ablaze and it is the doom of us all. (no joking matter though for those in the fire zone)   Reducati Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 09:05 pm:        im going to shovel now...so i dont have to tomorrow (chicago..and at 8pm there is no snow...yet)   Bartimus Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 09:20 pm:        The Ice age is coming! The Ice age is coming!   Glitch Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 09:38 pm:        The Ice age is coming! The Ice age is coming! Damned global warming   Iamike Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 09:42 pm:        Worked in downtown Minneapolis today. Got the heck out of town before the PM crush started. You would think with all the snow they get that they'd learn how to drive in it. Cars & trucks in the ditches all over. It took me 5 1/2 hrs. to drive 200mi.   Bluzm2 Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 09:58 pm:        Mike!! Why didn't we do lunch!! It's my turn to buy.... (Message edited by bluzm2 on January 31, 2011)   Bluzm2 Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:00 pm:        All the rest of you whiners, comon! It's just snow fer cripes sake.. The MSM make it out to be the end of the world. However, I am REALLY sick of it...   Court Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:04 pm:        Walking out of my office in Manhattan about 7:00pm . . . . This is our 6th snow of January and the ice storm is on the way. Egads! and out the front door . .   Crusty Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:07 pm:        The snow is supposed to start during the morning commute tomorrow, and continue until early Thursday morning. All told, we're supposed to get another foot and a half. I have no freakin' idea where I'm going to put it. The snow banks are already approaching six feet tall. I'll tell ya, WINTER SUCKS!!!   Panhead_dan Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:20 pm:        Hey Court, That's a beaut of a pic! Thanks for posting.   Whisperstealth Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:21 pm:        We will get a good layer of ice down here. The ice storms are worse than the snow around here. It all sucks. The headlights on the truck are not working, only the "day light running lights". So since I can't ride, I'm stuck being mobile only during day light. If chicken little told you the sky was falling...... Bet you would my friends, again and again....   Just_ziptab Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:36 pm:        Is that what "shovel ready"means? Looking at -10 with -30 wind chill for a couple of days.....and mucho snow. Could actually be a show day off from work Wednesday and an early off tomorrow..... that is extremely rare.   Panhead_dan Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 10:44 pm:        my new desktop wallpaper thingie!   Iamike Posted on Monday, January 31, 2011 - 11:48 pm:        Brad- I would have given you a call. I got a frantic call yesterday about a problem one of our subsidiaries were having with their phone system T1 PRI(for the past month). They had all the responsible parties coming this morning but they hadn't been able to fix it after all this time so they asked me to come up to help. I walked into the basement telephone closet and looked at the demarc then asked the phone tech "Why is there both cross connect wires and that RJ jumper plugged in?" Our office is on the 27th floor and the extra jumper went to the 20th. Needless to say our problem went away as soon as the extra jumper was removed. I had asked my daughter, that works downtown, if she wanted to go to lunch, but decided to head back home before that. I was thinking about coming up to the IMS but will probably pass on that now.   Lastcyclone Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 06:48 am:        http://www.theonion.com/articles/snowy-conditions- proving-hazardous-for-nations-idi,18705/ http://www.theonion.com/articles/massive-snowstorm -leaves-thousands-without-access,18993/ It will snow, does every winter. Sometime later it will melt. Enjoy the laughs, no offense to the "cheese heads".   Geforce Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 11:27 am:        Finally found a well done song for this sort of event.   Davegess Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 02:10 pm:        Milwaukee is pretty much gonna shut done tonight and tomorrow and let the snow removal crews do their thing. We will all be back to close to normal by second shift tomorrow.   Blake Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 02:33 pm:        Streets in Grand Prairie are ice. Now it's snowing. S'posed to drop to 16oF tonight. Three days ago it was a gloriously sunny 76oF, and I was running the air conditioner on the way here from Kilgore. The groundhog must die!   Swordsman Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 02:54 pm:        Wow, and I thought WE were having weird weather here in GA. Not having TV, I've missed a lot (I don't actively seek out news when I'm on the net). I couldn't deal with that mess. ~SM   Cityxslicker Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 04:06 pm:        ARe you getting it ? SNOwmagetton it!   Ourdee Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 05:06 pm:        110v 3500 watt inverter in the jeep. Snow blower fueled, Propane tanks full, lanterns-check, batteries charged, food-check, pizza delivered, snow and wind-check, work told me tomorrow is not excused. What good is a blizzard? Can you say thundersnow? My favorite kind of storm.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 05:16 pm:        I'm all set.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 05:18 pm:        SnoXcycle? Schwing!   Badrap Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 05:43 pm:        It's just winter weather. Has'nt anyone seen winter weather before? I has'nt snowed here in days and I don't expect it to for a while.
