Snow Update !

[87iroc]

Sippin on some syzzer.(not realy), just coffee. This is not that bad. Tickets for being on the road ... Stupid. If you wanna be a dumb ass you should be able to be. Emergency personnel will be out and about regardless. If they can't get to you before you freeze then so sorry it's your fault.

So if an ambulance needs to get through and its being led by a snowplow to get someone to the hospital and your dumb ass is planted in the middle of the road stuck. Whose fault is it the person dies in the ambulance?

You need to think outside of the car...and what its impact could be on others if you get stuck.

Power out in parts of Greenfield. Inlaws just text and said they lost power. They're about 8 miles from me.

My power went out four hours ago. I'm burning the Y2K lamp oil.

I was out and about today, My daughter left her phone charger at grandma's. (life threatening emergency for a teenager, plus we ran out of dog food) Visibility real bad, but no problems driving in a lifted 4x4 Super Duty. Pulled a Jeep out of a ditch. (didn't even have to hit the lockers) Then we went drift busting out in the back 40 when we got back... (hit the lockers for that one) You can't even see our tracks now. Real test comes in the morning. See if my fuel treatment keeps the diesel from gelling in the sub-zero.

Well it won't be my dumb ass in the car because I'm not dumb enough to drive in this ****. People die everyday. If they die in the ambulance odds are they were ****ed anyways.

I would hope that if an emergency vehicle needs through, they would plow abandoned stuck vehicles out of the way.

I would hope so as well.

I'll check back when its your family involved.

Talked to my neighbor tonight who is a detective with the Sheriffs Department. They were allowing any deputy with a 4wd vehicle to use that. They also had national guardsman in humvee's taking them to calls. I bet the city police had all their former military vehicles out (blazers, humvees, maybe even the MRAP).

We have right about an inch down here. Getting windy and cold fast! Everything has closed down tomorrow. No school! Woo

 

[Bennettjh]

REALLY windy here. We got a bunch of rain so folks are worried about power lines breaking. It's getting cold fast.

 

[LEaSH]

I just ran out of..... beers.

The contractor who plows the neighborhood has been down our court. Has to be a truck destroying job. They have no alternative but to plow the driveways closed so I broke out the snow blower for the 4th time. The neighbors may not have been overjoyed to hear me plowing away at 10:30 but the pile was already beginning to get hard frozen. By morning it will take a pick axe to break it up. I can get out now with no problem. There will certainly be some drifting to deal with but the street looks passable for just about anything right now. I've got piles of snow that will be here until May.

Just got off the phone with our minister. Church has a bunch of stranded motorists staying the night from nearby I-65. I may have to fire up the big truck to go get anyone who needs a warm place to stay. I got my anti-gel fuel treatment in. Could use some prayers my diesel fuel don't gel in the coming sub-zero.




Dear Lord. Thank you for 4 wheel drive, big tires, and lockers at both ends...

Two snow-shoveling related heart attacks so far this evening.

Shoveled my drive twice today, noon and 4pm. The second time around there was about 4" of new stuff on the ground. I went outside around 10pm and measured, and including what was already there I have 9" under a tree in my front yard, and 16" in the center of my back deck. I didn't bother measuring the drifts, but the piles on both sides of my driveway are waist high. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like in the morning because I can hear a lot of wind out there.

 

[Lammchop93]

Wind just started picking up here. Sounds like my house is gonna blow away!

 

[sepe]

Just ran out of toilet paper. Gonna be a rough morning. Really should have stockpiled.

Snow is pretty much done here except for blowing snow. Temperatures are quickly dropping, temp right now in Greenfield is @ 10.3 degrees not including the wind.

Been in a skidsteer for twelve hours now in noblesville. Drifts are terrible and still coming down. Someone drink a beer for me.
