Since they put the ice repellent down three days before the event and here in the south almost every weather event other then sunshine starts out with a full day of rain, whatever they put on the roads has either evaporated or washed away before the actual need ever shows up. Then once the event does happen the excuse for not doing anything is that the roads are to slippery to go out. So they wait until it is all done, in the hopes that the temperature will rise enough to clear it up on its own. Sometimes that works. This time it didn't and the storm that happen from Friday evening to Saturday noon extended closures through Monday and half a day Tuesday. I had neighbors that are very elderly. One can just barely move and when he does it is extremely slowly and about 10 steps before he has to stop. When he isn't getting to his car he uses an electric wheelchair. His vehicle was completely iced in all around it. A little salt or even a little sand around his vehicle would have fixed his problem and allowed him to get to the store. But, no, we have to wait until the storm is completely past us before we can do anything. I'm not sure if it's laziness, stupidity or just "southern", but whatever it is it drives me crazy.You should be fired up. Flowers, as nice as they look, don't compare to people's lives and occupations. My thought is....it's more expensive to remove snow, or put down ice repelant.
No one should listen to the idiot's predicting the weather, our's are almost always wrong. No snow for us today, it's snowing right now.I'm so mad at our road department. The listened to the weather fool thinking everything we got would be gone by morning so they did almost nothing over night. Well it didn't start to warm up until 9 or so and my road is still a mess![]()
This must happen in many places. Too little money.....sorry, for you and the neighbor.Since they put the ice repellent down three days before the event and here in the south almost every weather event other then sunshine starts out with a full day of rain, whatever they put on the roads has either evaporated or washed away before the actual need ever shows up.

Don't mention, someone might send you pixie darts, instead of pixie dust!Sympathy like.
I should not mention what the weather has been here...
I'm waiting for my flight to Orlando.
No pain is good. Sorry for you and your Mom. Take care.Going to have to check on her, she has been pretty much holed in her room. And only mother has gone in.
Lets say that she isn't exactly in a state for "visits". Because she cant move much right now.. thus doesn't want to be seen by anyone but my mother.
*edit*
She's fine. She still cant walk but at least she isnt in pain.
I need those flowers, thanks.
Handle less was not a smart move. I remember taking 6 cups with handles back to the room for all of us. Never dropped at all.A CM told me it was a disaster. People were dropping them evidently. My dad liked them better for at home. I told him maybe for at home, but for trying to make drink runs, it was a gigantic pain in the rear.
I love big dogs. The rottie next door like to cover me with his body. I would get on the ground to pet him, and he thought I was his sofa!
Thank you maybe tonight![]()
It's not really a matter of money, it is where they spend it. I will be the first one to say that the area around here is beautiful. Flowers everywhere. Flowering trees, Rose Bushes. Plants designed for different temperature ranges. Grass mowed constantly in the medians and sides of the road. We have at least 15 parks with beautifully manicure baseball fields, Hundreds of Soccer fields of all sizes for every age. Tennis courts and lighted football fields and Basketball courts everywhere. I can't even begin to count the number of Green Way paved walking paths that even involved tunneling under main streets and highways to build. They have money especially when you figure that the number of snow events we get per year, one, maybe two or on the wild side three. The cost of having the equipment and training to keep the roads safe for those few events would be what it cost them to plant thousands of Daffodils at the exits on the interstates that people go by at 75 miles an hour and only see a yellow slash of light. It isn't something I think about a lot, but, as a transplanted northerner where the only excuse for not going to school was either bleeding from the ears or the bus had overturned into a ditch and that was only good for a 1 hour delay. It just tends to frustrate me a little.This must happen in many places. Too little money.....sorry, for you and the neighbor.
Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a warmish day or at least not so bitter cold I don't want to even get the mail. It's 45 and going way up today, we'll get a bit of spritzy rain but I'm not going to complain.![]()
If you like musicals, see it on the big screen. If not, HBO.Meh...I'm thinking wait for HBO.
Mine too.
@donaldtoo , I'm wondering if you've had your surgery yet; or if not, I think you said it's coming up quickly now that we're in early January. Best of luck with that.
Here too. I walked around MK in shorts and flip flops.It was 80 here today...![]()

100 mph winds? holy crap!They are still here, but they work, and the doggie hasn't been out in this crazy weather. The 90 to 100 mph winds just doesn't stop. Today was much better only 20 to 30mph. Thanks for thinking of me. We have been moving dd to an apartment this week. It should end this week-end. I hope so. I hope all is well on your end.
