  • Little dusting of Iowa snow

    14 1\2 inches of the crap last night, with 60 mph winds. So bad the gravel plows were pulled off the roads. Gotta love global warming.

                Yeah we got about 2 inches(thank goodness not 14) and 60 mph winds and 0 degrees! Great day to walk to class! Got a nice high of 13 tomorrow. Should be another nice day ha.

                I like to think its the seasonal change vs climate change But that's just me!

                  I was in Virginia about 5 years ago when it snowed 22 inches in 36 hours. I was a security guard at work, and couldn't get relieved. Nobody could get there, and the few backup guards we had were all either stuck at home or were assigned to other sites. Worked for about 40 hours, and it was over a holiday weekend, so double pay! :-) My net pay that week was $1,000.

                    Pics of my 500 foot of snow fence to come. Only had about 5-6 inches but with the wind last night the results could have been worst. Drove in and out today , no problem for Redford.

                              Pffff lemme guess youre in the same crowd as that douchebag in the lifted F350 that thought it would be cool to pass me, two more cars, and a semi truck all at once this morning on my way to work.

                              4x4 and big tires are all nice until its time to STOP.
