Snow!


Almost April and we are getting snow! We have micro-climates here, so a sprinkling in my neighborhood could mean I-5 is getting dumped on.

It sure kills business because Mrs. HO is too busy hitting the pipe and watching the snow fall to call a plumber.

I may have to put skis on my chopper to do any riding here. Or move to Mexifornia

Re: Snow!


We got hit as well, twice in the last week, it must be that global warming thing, I'm off to buy some carbon offset credits to help fix this problem.

Re: Snow!


Got it hear too!! wtf!! It was 45 degrees last night before I went to bed. Woke up this morning and it was 30 with 4 - 5 inches of snow on the ground and still going

My job site was worse because it's up in the mountains. About 6" there and mud under it. Makes it rough for doing siding.

Hope this is the last one.

Re: Snow!


Still snowing here in W. Washington state. I rescheduled one call in the city because its actually sticking to the roads now. Freeway is gonna be a mess.

Maybe I'll get one of those Skee-dos and attach a sled to the back to haul my stuff.

Is this your front yard?

I know next time it snows here in NJ I'm making a snowman and hanging that exact sign.

Maybe a little Operation Chaos hat for him too.
