Where in the World is Bob Saget?

I live on a corner lot on a dead end, and it's like the only house on the "block" (since the block isn't really finished). They will plow the street up until our "block" starts, and then turn onto another street and keep going. They don't even do those streets until well into the day. And they still haven't done them yet today. Then our little area, they do whenever they want. And when they do get to it, more snow has accumulated, and they plow us in. Love it.

They will pull you over here for that. Your windshield has to be totally clean.

They will now. In the late 1980's it didn't seem to be a problem. Or at least the state patrol dept. didn't bother with it. I grew up and worked out of the district of city patrol.

That's why I have this licence plate:

My guess is they ducked inside that bar!

I was picturing a board in the emergency management room with a list of their top priorities and #1 is "Burger and Brew night."

after reading these pages of snow hating and plowing and shoveling..
makes me glad I live in a place that never snows..
we only get lovely earthquakes and hurricanes

Wintry mix tomorrow.

Debating whether to go to school or stay home tomorrow.

My street was plowed at exactly 3:00pm CST. Thanks for making my day's travels easy.

Debating whether to go to school or stay home tomorrow.

Back in my day I would of had to walk 20 miles to school in a blizzard, uphill both ways, or else face a whooping from the Dean.

Or I slept in and played Halo. Whichever you think sounds more believable.

Once when I was in junior high our bus made it through 7 or 8 miles in the ice and snow to arrive in front of our school. But we never got off the bus. They had just decided to close the schools, because the roads were too dangerous. So we went back home again through the ice and snow.

 

[Nemo14]

My husband had a 30 mile drive to school for his first job and I always worried about him driving there because his school was located in one of the snowiest parts of the state. They had a nasty habit of calling off school just as he'd get off the highway up there.

 

[Lucky]

Now with cell phones and e-mail people probably get word on time a lot more often that things are closed. And the forecasts (however imperfect) are a lot better than they used to be, so they can make decisions about closing earlier.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I hate when they decide to have a 2 hour delay, then wind up calling off school anyway.

 

[Zweiland]

The good news? I have a snowblower.

The bad news? It's broken.

So is ours - all the more reason to spend the winter in FL I say!

They did that in March. We were sitting there watching it fall and just saying, "Oh, just call it!"

I envy you and @Megalodumb. And @luv, and @Joseph Robinson, and all the other Floridians. WHY MUST THE WORLD WORK THIS WAY?

I like snow 2 times a year: On Thanksgiving and right before Christmas. Other than that? NEVER.

Sorry if I sound like an old lady prude, but there are plenty of other threads on the forum about drunks, must we be just another one of them?

I can think of one.

Well, given the average speed of a human in 1.5 miles per hour, if that, it would have taken you 13 hours to get to school. I choose to believe the second

I think I need to say something here.

Nemo just asked nicely if we could switch topics. There was no personal jabs at anyone. I've asked politely for the topic to be changed, and we have gotten through it without any problems. Everyone just said "sure", or "okay", or just simply moved on from that topic. I don't know why we can't do the same here.

If there are any personal problems against any posters, could we please not bring them into this thread? This is a thread for fun and friendly content. I don't want to see this thread ruined after so many laughs.

Thanks.

Thank you, and that all sounds great to me. Point well made and well taken. I try not to take things personally and I don't have any problems that I know of with anyone here. Also, this is just such a difficult form of communication sometimes, too...other than some smilies, punctuation, bolding of letters, etc., it's just more difficult than face-to-face interaction, or even over the phone.
Anyway, all that bein' said...
Let the show go on and the silliness abundantly abound...!!!!!
