We don't live there yet, so at worst we've learned an expensive lesson on how to build if we ever do move out there. The houses off to the left are another matter, since they're older houses that are completely flooded. At least everybody got out ok. My 3 year old is excited at the prospect of having to use heavy machinery to clear the mess up, so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 If anybody wants a high end wakeboard boat, I'm sure my next door neighbor would be happy to have this one off their hands. I'm curious which house, or even which lake, this one started out at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I live far enough south in the Austin metro that I haven't been subjected to the flooding Robert C has. I am, however, feeling the full effect of the boil warning; since I own two saucepans and nothing bigger, and couldn't drive to pick up water before all the stores sold out, I'm feeling the pinch on drinkable H20.

I'm about tired of not having clean running water. My wife had the good sense to have a meeting in California this week, leaving me at home with a three year old, two large dogs, and four cats, one of whom is 18 years old and has a feeding tube as he's fighting off pancreatitis and pneumonia. Managing that last one is becoming damn challenging. A friend picked up water in San Marcos yesterday. They were limiting sales even there since they were getting swamped with people down from Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Ended up having the day off since no one predicted the amount of snow we got so - since the DMV is good for this at least once a year - nothing was treated and nothing has been plowed.

Craig H Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This isn't the first snow of this season for us (it's now the third), but it's the first where the snow stuck to the pavement which means everyone drives like an asshole and forgets how to drive in this shit even though we're covered in snow and ice here for about 6 months out of the year. I'm in my late 30s and I still don't understand how people's driving skills in the snow just completely disappear. You should be used to this by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, closing post 2 hour early so people can get home does not help us driving in for night shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 My co-worker Linda was stuck at Port Authority for SIX HOURS last night before finally getting on her bus home. Madness. What the fuck are we, Atlanta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Took me 5 and a half hours to get home from work last night, it usually takes me an hour. It took me an hour just to get out of Lyndhurst. someone skipped treating the roads this time and chaos ensued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Twenty-Five pages of people complaining about how cold and wet it is, and the occasional Californian popping up to let everyone know how unseasonably warm and dry it's been for the last, what, decade? Then someone sets the whole State on fire. Bit of an overreaction, really. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Winter Storm Diego arrived in the 804 around seven this morning. It's quarter after Noon now and I can see the sidewalks and parking lot outside of my building starting to white over. I can only imagine what the roads will be like around quitting time. I'm headed back to MD after work. It will probably take six billion hours to get to my crib but if post closes, I'd rather be back at my own home.

odessasteps Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Crazy weather (wind/etc) means 95 closed for third time this week up here. plus, trees down around have led to local road closures. glad I’m not on my way to work with minus Wind Chills tonight.

bobholly138 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Been getting the normal mid Mississippi January weather..IE 3 days of 40s then 2 days of 70s and 80s. The worst was last Saturday. Went to visit some friends. Left around 11pm the husband warned me about the fog. To get from their place to mine I gotta drive for 30 minutes on a two lane road. Full of hills and blind curves. Normally I can do 60 on this road. But the fog was so thick I was barely doing 35. Plus had 3 times when deer darted out into the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It was 11 degrees Fahrenheit this morning and it will be in the low Fifties by Wednesday. I suspect I should see my first signs of a fierce head cold by this Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
