hi snow crew my landlord didn't clear the driveway like he said I would so I had to dig myself out so I could get to work on this here Sunday

We had snow drifts on our side so I had 3 feet of snow on top of my car :(

This was Northwest Philly during the small lull we had in the later afternoon. This is with 18 inches on the ground. We got 5 more or so after this.

Most of the roads are completely clear here in idiotville TN, but when I went to the store to get hot dog buns there was only one bag left and the bread aisle was picked totally clean. There was some lady bitching at a clerk about how many loaves he had left in the back. Milk was still in stock. Chip aisle looked like a hundred goons had whirled through it, though. I guess chips and salsa are better than milk sandwiches? Or do they make a chip and salsa sandwich?

I had to get whole wheat buns, which kind of puts a damper on the ultra-basic chili cheese dogs I'm making in tribute. But I was planning on melting the cheese anyway, so I guess it's just a crappy tribute all around.

Good: Fixed my water heater :toot:

I remember living in Newfoundland and all the older people would rush outside at like 11 pm and shovel their driveways all bundled up like fat, colorful gnomes. Now in the South I just wait until it melts or plow my car over the pathetic drifts that try to barricade me inside. I miss the gnomes. I do not miss trying to walk to class on the sheets of ice that were left after the school half-assedly plowed the student walkways.

We had to have a bobcat come in and move the snow from behind everyone's cars to mountains in the corners of our neighborhood. Me and my neighbors did okay (I even helped out my next door neighbor and I fffffucking hate her rear end) but the neighbors on the other side just made a mountain in front of the bobcat and expected him to be able to move everything without a question. Now, the bobcat can't move anything higher than itself and the neighbors didn't understand that and got hostile with the operator when he told them they would have to start breaking down their snowshit mountain. We had to have the HA President diffuse tensions. Good times.

How many of you died? Did you hear there's a new funeral home in Reform? Recommend you check it out. If you died that is.

my neighborhood got straight up zero plow trucks to clear the street. gonna go into monday without a single functioning road. i think some of the neighbors have gone a bit batty about it because they're trying to get out to the main road by forcing their way through 20 inches of snow with their sedans. one guy was able to dig his car out enough to retreat back to his garage but now the main entrance is blocked up by three vehicles that tried to get out. they're all out pushing and digging and it's like, dog, you're trying to monster through two feet of snow in a minivan. it isn't going to happen.

it is pretty crazy a plow hasn't been through here though.

The nice townhouse community right across the street from us also remains unplowed. Sucks to be them, but I guess they have an excuse not to go to work tomorrow.

I used to live on a side street in a quiet residential part of town, but our street was always plowed first thing in the morning. Turns out we lived on the same street as the mayor. That was pretty great.

Lifehack: Live on the same street as the mayor or other city official with influence over the plow schedule.

It was 1/10th of an inch away from an all time high score. Only beat out by the blizzard of 96.


Bigger problem is that the city is doing an abysmal job at plowing so nobody can get around. The city's used to snow but not that much so quickly.
