Topic: Snow day!

So, in case you hadn't heard, the state of Colorado is closed. smile

This means I'm not in my office, and potentially won't be for a week or so (if I don't get in tomorrow, it won't be until after the New Year since we were already closing next week).

I have internet access, but all the stuff I've been working on lately was on my desktop at work... sad

White Christmas -- woo hoo!

Re: Snow day!

Good about the white christmas, bad about not having any of your non-work related stuff at home.

Currently, we have a lot of rain in the midwest...  A Drowned Christmas?

Re: Snow day!

Hey Dan...I know you guys have had more than enough snow there. But did you have to send it my way too?  :wink:   Got about 2" last night and more due today...enough to paralyze our region since folks aren't used to driving in it.

Snow at the beach...SURF'S UP!!!  (if you're a polar bear) :twisted:

Re: Snow day!

Try being in the Seattle area... or in my case, out in the unincorporated county...... people out there don't even know what a sand-truck is....LOL
I almost wasn't able to get up the hill with chains last night...... and I am originally from upstate NY, and am used to snow.

Try driving in ice, in Texas....Snow plough? What's that? Sand trucks take 2 days just to make it into the 'burbs!

I was assigned to 'Great Lakes Naval Station' just north of Chicago (in the lovely run-down burg of 'North Chicago') as a Navy instructor for three years (85-88). Learned to deal with the physics of snow, but ice is WAY different. If you loose it in ice, just wait until the spinning stops. :-)

Snow is much like sand, as far as driving technique as long as the snow hasn't melted any - think ahead, countersteer, DON'T stop in a low spot.

Fortunately, we've dodged that bullet so far here in the metroplex, but a few miles out west and north it's a MESS....

If we make it past tomorrow morning with no ice, we're golden.
