Christmas Blizzard

[dean nelson]

3 things------1) the muddfader who installed it didn't do it right 2) Tried to ram the snow into pile to hard..snap...bye bye plow, bet
his front looks like crap....
3) Yeah...he left it there for whatever odd reason.

You pick the correct answer...lol

From how it looked it definitely appeared to be it getting ripped off in some sort of unintentional way! Got a good laugh out of it though!:;:cheers

Well you can see a tuck parked nicley in the driveway will flood lights in it. My guess he dropped it at the end of his driveway at the wrong time.

Anyone heard much about the New Years blizzard? Seen one model and site saying we could get hammered again with 12 plus inches and another saying it's suppose to stay south of us in SD. I sure hope the second is right

 

[dean nelson]

Doesn't look to be much. This is all snow till middle of next week.

On the news last night they said, Minot broke the old record for November/December snow fall 43.6 inches of snow. ;:;banghead ;:;barf This is the most snow for these 2 months combined since they have been keeping records.

I see next Monday and Tuesday they have over 60% chance of snow for both days.
I hate the snow and winter more everyday.

 

[Kurtr]

only another 8 inches and 30 mph winds.......

Be interesting to see how this plays out since no one seems to be able to get a handle on it. The weather service still has it at 20% well intellicast has it at 60% and pivitol has gone from zero accumulation yesterday too 5 inches today.

It will be 10-12 with 35mph+ winds.

My sore knee told me so.

Sounds like your injury has given you a gift. You should be a walk on kicker for the vikes.

and

So cool for sure, with a little snow mixed in.

That wet area in California is interesting since that's the spot where allot of our Colorado lows make landfall.

Any bets on wether or not he ment to leave his plow blade here!

That plow blade was on the NW corner of 3rd and Bridgeport Monday through late Monday evening. Then it sat where your pic shows it, until Wednesday I think. It looks broken. They're too heavy to lift. I didn't notice it this morning heading west on Wachter.

The white Mercury Sable that Sluggo posted a pic of (on 3rd, just north of Wachter) was partly dug out, and the driver's side window was down a few inches. I guess that makes it alright.. ?

I saw a car parked on the street, mostly buried (south end of N Griffin St - just north of the RR tracks) that had been hit at least twice. Driver's side front and back corners both smashed off. When will people learn to NOT leave their cars on the street during a storm? Park them in the yard if you have to. If there's snow on the yard, you have to dig. Who cares? You have to dig either way.

Here's what I have to say to the people bitching because the blade or loader pushes snow into your driveway and onto your sidewalk. How about you park your fat ass in the blade or loader and see if you can do a better job then the poor guy who has been working a butt load of hours, doing such a terrible job that you have to reshovel the end of your driveway. Lets see what you can do with the shit ton of snow we have had. Lets see if you can keep it out of everyone's driveway and off their sidewalks. Maybe they should just leave the shit lay in the street so you can have a clean driveway and sidewalk that way you can walk your fat ass wherever you want to. Oh wait, then you would bitch about not being able to drive your car down the street. Some people need to get a titty sprinkling life. Third world problems SUCK and so does your whinny ass. ;:;rant

I feel for the guys with their long hours and with a ton of people running up to the plow and chewing their ass, I do but I bet I wouldn't have ran over my mailbox...just sayin

This makes me made to, people are so dumb, if the plow/blade operator stopped and tooked the time to make sure no snow got piled up at the the end of the driveways it would triple the time it takes them to get the streets cleaned, then these dummys would bitch about that.

Yeah the truck in the driveway has what looks to be much older model on his right now so I'm guessing he broke something. Speaking of bridgeport four days later and they were still waiting for their first pass at noon today but did see a plow heading that way.



As for the snow plow drivers there's no doubt they got a tough hand dealt to them right now but before you canonize them don't forget it is in fact their job and this situation does in fact have a reverse side such as last year where much of the winter had zero snow. When you sign on to do that job this is going to be the reality some years and they know that when they do it. And sweet Jesus let's not act like pressing the snow gate button is some sort of huge thing to do the privet contractors didn't seem to have any trouble with it at my place.

Or how about they get out of bed so we don't have to come back and clean up the mess after we have been up for four hours before the city or state even get out of the god damn bed. A better job isn't hard to do but I guess we have people who operate equipment vs just drivers
