Ready for snow?!

[Gilligan]

18+ inches! Who's ready?!

[2dimes]

I guess. Right now our city is having minor flooding & freezing issues over the last snow fall.

[DoomYoshi]

18+ inches! Who's ready?!

Oh boy yea! I'm all puckered up.

[tzor]

If it wasn't for the snow I would probably be getting my car serviced. Now It's going to complain for another week.

[Lootifer]

25 degC/77 degF; sunny and awesome. Sup?

[Timminz]

Going skiing. Fuck yeah!

[notyou2]

[DoomYoshi]

Fuckin Snow Day! W00t!

[tzor]

It is snowing on long island. There is also occasional lightning and thunder. It sounds like someone is firing off the avalanche cannons.

I'm stuck at the world's most boring truck stop, in Carlisle, PA, because the trucking companies have decided that New York State is too high-risk to jeopardize their equipment. There's no way to get from Pennsylvania to Ontario without passing through New York, unfortunately.

Well, I suppose I could double the length of my journey and go all the way around through Michigan, but that would be ridiculous.

There's not even a good restaurant here, just a goddamn Denny's. Whoever designed the Denny's menu should have their kneecaps broken with an icepick; everything on it is disgusting garbage, totally deepfried to the point of 100% moisture loss, so that it's a bit like eating beef jerky without the beef. And the waitresses constantly fight, accusing each other of not doing their jobs while not doing their jobs. And I don't mean little snide remarks under their breath, I mean full-fledged explosions of "you lying tramp" loud enough for the whole place to hear. It's a bit like being a kid again and trying to focus on your breakfast while your parents fight.

The sign at the door says "Please wait to be seated". On the first day I dutifully waited for 15-minute increments. Today I got smart and learned to ignore the sign. I just walk in, grab a menu, and sit wherever I want. Then I randomly choose some inedible crap from the menu and flag down the nearest dysfunctional waitress and implore her to serve me. When she says, "that's not my table" I point out that I've been waiting 38 hours and can survive not much longer. Other than being a slight exaggeration, it's basically true.

Carlisle, PA. Can't beat it!

I can't get any real weather reports from Williamsport, Corning, Rochester, or anything else along my way home. I google "Williamsport weather report" and I get Philly. I don't give a f*ck about Philly. It's two valleys over from Williamsport and not even part of the same climactic region. I want to know about the mountain roads between Williamsport and Corning, and between Corning and Rochester. After Rochester I'm home free; the NY Thruway gets priority plowing and from the Canadian border I can basically walk home. But nobody anywhere seems to be able to tell me what the I-390 looks like, or the dangerous sections on the north end of US 15.

[_sabotage_]

Go through Michigan.

[notyou2]

Good luck Duke.

[nietzsche]

LMAO, snow.

Fucking snow wouldn't do us anything in Mexico. Pussies.

It would melt right away, 25C here.

[Borderdawg]

mid 80's and sunshine this weekend. I'm headed to the beach.

[Gilligan]

There's a lot of damn snow here.

I've made it home now, but thank you very much....

US-15 had some slightly bad spots, but the I-390 and the Thruway were clean as an unused condom.

Along the way I was thinking of more nasty things I could say about Denny's, but when I got home my wife had a wonderful dinner waiting and all negative thoughts have vanished from my mind. It's amazing how a good home-cooked meal can make you completely forget about some terrible restaurant crap.

[2dimes]

Good to read you're safe at home duk.

[jonesthecurl]

Jeeez. I thought the British Carlisle was a bloody dull place. It's a bit like Chelmsford, Massachusetts. It's only merit is that it makes the English Chelmsford look interesting in comparison.

[Timminz]

We got a couple feet of snow so far, and it's still coming down. Our car is buried, and the driveway is totally covered, with no sign of a plow. We're not going anywhere today.


Good thing the ski hill is open, and we're within walking distance.

[nietzsche]

How often do you guys shower when it's very cold like these days?
