Snow

[crawdad]

That's what my father woulda done, 'cept he only had one child.

I am one of two brothers and he would always get a hold of us on weekends. “I need a pair of weak minds and strong backs!” he’d say.

This is crazy. It's 64F here in coastal NC, but in the western part of the state it's 28F. There are two cold fronts between the coast and the western part of the state.

We could use a 64f out here in No. Nv.

I'm sure!

I’ve been in Texas for 5 years now, and this is the coldest (2F) and snowiest (3”) I’ve seen down here. Some pipes burst in our hospital, but my lab and clinic are luckily spared. I have to admit that driving in my Jeep on icy roads makes me homesick for Wyoming.

It's no joke, folks. Happens every season here:

Why do so many people die shovelling snow?

Why not clearing the snow from your driveway might just save your life.

My girlfriend and I have 4WD/AWD vehicles so I don’t bother shoveling unless company is coming over. We have about a foot of snow now, it was 2 degrees last night. Finally a real winter around here

I like the snow. We are over 50” so far which is normal.

We’ve gotten 12 inches according to the local weatherman. I live rural and drifts of 5 feet are not at all uncommon. There are parts of my driveway that you can still see gravel and other parts that are drifted over the top of the car.

Soo sorry for the grief going on throughout TX. Ive seen alot of snow in El Paso before

Seriously. People around here always say they'd never live in CA cause they have earthquakes and how can people live somewhere like that. When the fact is way more people die or go to the emergency room with serious issues because of the winter. Slip and falls and the big one people not pacing themselves with snow shoveling. Either injuries or cardiovascular issues. Know your limits.

Cardio issues for sure.. Dont slip!

We have had sort of a weird deal with snow this year. In the last cold from it snowed for six days straight. You think it have buried us but out of all the we got maybe three inches of snow. But man they made up with it on the temperature side. The highs range up to 20 degrees and the lows were as cold as -10 degrees.

The hospital was a break in the fire sprinkler system, leading to substantial flooding and damage but thankfully nothing in the patient areas. Property can be replaced, but we’re hearing of quite a few deaths associated with the storm. It will likely be a few weeks before we know the full extent of these losses, so we’re counting ourselves fortunate.

Howgozit? Shaping up better now?

Indeed! Most of the major repairs are underway, and they’re pulling up carpet all over the place. It’ll be ugly for a few more weeks, but we’re only operating around 50% due to the pandemic so we can absorb the loss of space/facilities.
