blizzard suck

Summer weight long johns?

Says something about your summers.

You know how those old retired people get chilly anytime it's below 80

Well, Pumbaa is just jealous that I'm retired and he's not!

But yes, I admit it. I have summer weight long johns. We have GREAT summers in the UP. If summer falls on a Saturday, we have a picnic.

na, I figured if you were in Texas I was finally out of arm's reach and could (safely) be a bit of a smart ass

See that's why Wisconsin is so much better than the UP. We have TWO days of summer, not just one. And if it falls on a weekend, we go camping, not just have a picnic. Nyah.

My "house" (have a small cabin, we're in the process of building a house) is fine and all my pipes are insulated. My cabin is 2X6 walls and insulated out the wazoo. Literally heating and cooling cost nothing. The shop has the thin isulation that comes with the Mueller buildings. The pipes are insulated, but since all I do is piddle around in there, I only heat it with a shop heater while I'm in there.

Why do I get the feeling you are the exception, rather than the rule????

What is interesting is the fact that I, personally, have survived all THREE of Chicago's biggest snowstorms! Number 1 was January 1967, and I was a college student in a near western suburb. Number 2 was right after New Years 1999, and we were living here in Marengo. And Number 3 was the day before yesterday! The final analysis? RDWHAHB!

It only took me the first two of those storms to learn. In '67 I was home form college in the western suburbs. In '99 I was living/working in the same area. That's all it took to teach me that Winter Happens! Therefore I moved a few hundred miles southeast to avoid the problem.

Unfortunately, my plan didn't work very well, last year we had 3 storms over 15" within three weeks and ended up with 50" of snow in the yard. Had 12" last week but now can see the grass.

We got some snow, it's mostly melted now, and the City has come to a standstill.

my snowbanks are taller than my children.

driveway salt isn't melting the ice and leftover snow on my driveway.

Work is closed today do to the weather we are having in Houston. The keg supply shop in town is not open and I need to get another corny and dual faucet tower and some other odds and ends. Damn this weather!!

ROFL just wait until the end of next week. They are talking HIGHS of about zero, above zero if we are lucky for about a week. I just hope I can get the slush out of the end of my driveway from the broken water main b4 that hits.

You guys are getting freak storms, we're getting freaky blue condoms (Man of Wars) on the beach.

Well, here are a couple pics of the roughly 3.5-4 foot snow banks

very cool. I've never seen that. The gulf is way too warm for those guys I guess.

I'll be kayaking again all day Sunday. I grew up on lake Erie (Toledo OH) and don't miss that cold crap one bit.

It's the gulf stream.

Is now a bad time to point out that it's been in the mid 60s and sunny for the past three weeks here in Northern California?

(Nah, kidding - we had 1/10th of an inch of rain a fortnight ago)

Today, on our customary Saturday trip to Starbuck's on the Square in Woodstock, Illinois [where "Groundhog Day" was filmed], we were amazed at the HUGE piles of snow especially on east/west roads. The howling wind of Tuesday night really piled up the drifts!

Kind of ironic since the blizzard was on Groundhogs Day

I don't know, I kind of like blizzards. It gives me an extra place to put my beer
