    That's three nights in a row we've had to take something out of a dogs intestines. I sure hope this one does better than the one last night.

    Gah, that's a lot of snow!! And that drop in temp is crazy, holy hell. Maybe the 4 days of rain we have coming isn't so bad, even though my yard is muddy and my dogs are filthy.

    Mud dogs! LOL. My favorite. :smile: I prefer the frozen ground. The dogs track less stuff in.

    I'd actually prefer that to what's happening tonight. Rain and sub-30F temps made the roads a sheet of ice. There was a 1/4" of ice on my car that took a hot minute to scrape off. My windshield wipers froze up halfway to work, so I couldn't see very well, plus I forgot to scrape my driver's side rearview mirror. It's a miracle I only made it to work 15 mins late.

    That's bad! Glad we don't have the ice. I'll take cold and snow any day. Ice really sucks. Especially from freezing rain.

    Yeah! Eastern freezing rain is way worse than cold and snow. It's gone down to -16C here tonight. Makes my body hurt :'( , I feel like I'm getting old. Time to morph into a snowbird maybe.

    You are a snow bird for Canada. You would have to summer in the Yukon and Summer in British Columbia. :smile:

    After shaving a few years of my life by sheer fear, I am stranded at a motel, because I can't get home. Ice errywhere. Cars in ditches. It's a mess.

    Wow! That sounds like a mess. How long is that supposed to last?

    Holeeeey Mackerel! Glad you are safe! Are you still stuck away from home or did you manage to get back later in the day? We have a couch in the office but luckily the two of us who live farthest out of town haven't had to use it yet (not together.... separately :o ).

    I'm home safe now. I think I'm gonna pack an emergency overnight bag to keep in my car just in case. The whole experience would have been a lot more tolerable if I had at least had clean underwear

    Finally came down with the cold that is going around. Going to have to take a few days off from the bike.

    Waiting for a big snowstorm some time tonight; lasting until Sunday morning. The mountains are expecting 15"-30" but we are only expecting 4"-8". The 50 mph winds will be the problem.

    So, I stopped at Walmart to pick up a couple things on my way to work last night. As I'm walking through the store, a random dude walks up to me and practically shouts, "I love a woman in uniform!" I assume he kept on walking because I basically darted around him.
