I thought down there you knew shit was real when the waffle houses closed up.
So much rain, I hate rain in the 30’s I would rather have a couple of feet of snow. It is amazing how the wet damp air makes it feel cold as crap.
12*with sideways stingy snow isn't all that pleasant tonight. But low 30s and rain is worse than snow any day.
We have had our fill of wet cold rains the last couple of winters.
Looking like our storm totals are a bit short. Those hours and hours or sleet have built a nice layer of ice under the snow though.

I made it to work, streets arent great, but not terrible either I guess. Thank God for 4X4, there are people out on the roads that shouldnt be.

It is not very good here. Where my driveway should be and the middle of the road.

The Roads are not bad really. The Idiots are what makes it bad.
I was waffling about whether to go to work or not; Dustin's post made me get off my ass. Thanks for the peer pressure.
Threw my little snowblower in the truck and took it to work; the snow removal dude had plowed the lot but didn't get to the sidewalks yet, so that was a good thing to have.
My guess is that all the old people like me will show up for work and the youngin's will take the opportunity to be off.
The boss had told us yesterday to use our judgement, and that safety is the first priority, which is cool.
But old school pride/fear of ridicule can be a driving factor - I'll be dipped in dogshit before I candy-ass out and just take a day off.
If he can make it I can make it.
And fuck the weather people by-the-way, this ain't snowmageddon. Drama queen assholes....
So I stopped at McD's, said to the cashier "Look at you, you ain't no sissy, you made it to work!" And she replied "I didn't have a choice - my GM came and picked me up, because my car wouldn't have made it..." so dumbass me, I says "You're not a sissy, you're just oppressed!" She didn't smile at the joke. After I got my food I drove around the building and pulled up again and thanked her for being there so I could have my breakfast and that make her smile and laff. Gotta be careful, Covid is turning me into an asshole. (yeah, it's the Covid.)

We are well over the 12" mark and its still dumping. Wive's van is gonna sit in the garage until I can get out and clear the 700'+ driveway and the 2' drift in front of the door
When I lived in Ohio our street department always did that while plowing during the snow emergency and parking ban. Made for quick work of the roads. Just sucked if you lived on a corner because your sidewalks got covered in snow from the road and the driveway entrance as well....
