hi db, cm

I see you're still surviving the bitter cold

 

[Suprtek]

Power stayed on all night.

My wife was supposed to go to work this morning. We decided that's not gonna happen. Don't want her to lose her job but its not worth risking her life to get there. Every report I see says the roads are ridiculous and the temps are still just plain stupid. We're going back to bed.

 

[MrsGungho]

roads are ridiculous because it is to cold for salt to be effective so they aren't putting it down, snow/ice packed roads, ridiculously cold temps. I've been on this earth a few years, other than '78 and there was a year in the mid 80's was bad, I don't remember anything like this

It was not this cold in 78 was it?? I was outside for most of that deal and either I have forgotten or was to young to care......

no, not this cold but the amount of snow blew this **** away. Of course I am remembering northern Indiana too. I don't know how much was here. I just remember looking out the front window and the front yard was as tall as the front of the house. No cars in the drive because they were buried in snow. no school for 2 weeks. Most people snowed in for 2 weeks. we got lucky a neighbor had to get into the plant he managed and they sent a plow out to get him out. That got us out. If that hadn't happened I don't know how long we'd have been in.

I was in Connersville Ind. and it was nuts. If you had a good 4WD you could get to the end of town and the drifts across the fields were 8' to 10' high.

Not this cold as I remember.

I had to stoke up the wood stove yesterday to get the house right.
Just built a fire.......

 

[MrsGungho]

oh yeah, all that starting my car did nothing. I waited to long last night and the battery was dead at 11pm. It has a trickle charger on it so I am hoping it starts this morning

 

[churchmouse]

This weather will bring out the bad stuff. I put new batts in everything this last summer.

 

[SEIndSAM]

the truck has a new battery, I knew I needed one, but like most other things for me, I chose to ignore it.

[MrsGungho]

I am going to go shower and get ready for work. see if we have to work

 

[SEIndSAM]

Morning MrsG.

Yep, I need to go to TH & St Louis. Roads are okay here, but suck from Indy and west. Don't think I should try it????

 

[SEIndSAM]

Morning Snap, CT2

 

[jagee]

G'morning all. Started both cars in the garage and the work truck in the driveway. All 3 started up just fine. Called the boss, got another snow day because we have nothing going on and it's not worth going in!

 

[chocktaw2]

Good morning Sam.
