Who else is freezing their asses off?

by **luciano** Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:55 am

Good God man, it is -5 degrees F. That'll wake ya up!! I dont think I have ever seen it this cold in West Pa. My kids school was cancelled for today yesterday before she was even home from school. Any of you guys that are dealing with this, make sure you got your face covered up. And maybe hunt down those jumper cables.

affraid

by **Old Timer** Fri Jan 16, 2009 8:34 am

Well that is not to bad. -5 is normal here in the winter, Sunday it is supposed to be at least -10 and we have see -30 before. -15 to -20 in often seen here in Jackson but never reported by the news channels. We consider anything above 0 in the winter time to be spring time weather.

We are supposed to snap out of it tomorrow around noon, its been like this for 3 days, this aint normal for here. Lots of snow is normal for around here but not temps like this.Normal is 20 degrees Id say.

I just took my garbage out and it sort of took my breath away when I hit the outside and my head started hurting instantly, lol.

HP, my mom drives a Jeep, that thing is the best.

Well don't over dress as that can be a bad thing. Just dress in layers.

by LogicallyYours Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:19 am

Cold here in CT, Currently -12. I never minded the cold as it allows you to enjoy the winters sports like skating and skiing. I hate when it's raw, moist and muddy...just can't enjoy the outside. Unfortunately, we bought our daughter a puppy that is coming from Missouri and should have been flown here two weeks ago but, the weather has been too cold for the airline to transport the animals without the chances of them freezing. Hopefully, this next week will allow that.

by **Old Timer** Sat Jan 17, 2009 11:00 am

Well good morning and great to see you here. Very Happy

by jigglepete Sat Jan 17, 2009 11:30 am

We have been hovering between 0 and -17 (instant mustache freeze...which I actually enjoy) There is supposed to be an up swing over the weekend, but who really cares, I am going to be snuggling up to a Guiness and watching football (at least for most of tomorrow.) at the local tavern...

by **Old Timer** Sat Jan 17, 2009 11:32 am

Hey Pete, glad to see ya here. Here in Jackson we have an almost clear sky with -2 and ice crystals falling like snow.

by **CarolinaHound** Sat Jan 17, 2009 11:39 am

Well we're having a heat wave compared to you folks. 15 degrees here. I just wanna know, if I got to freeze my muffler fluffin tail off.. WHERE'S THE *&%#IN SNOW I ORDERED!!!!!! What a Face

lol

by **Old Timer** Sat Jan 17, 2009 11:44 am

We got it all, come and get it. I'll even throw in breakfast if ya do. lol!

We are back to normal tempatures and here comes the snow now. It wont snow if its extremely cold will it?

by **PaulM** Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:26 am

OMG! I've been spending most of yesterday (Friday) and the better part of today (Saturday) under the house thawing pipes. We haven't had any water.
The pipes are fine now and I have a heat lamp set up to keep them warm on exceptionally cold nights.

Exact same thing here, L. It's gonna start snowing and temp will rise to 32F. Yikes, that's still colder than usual...U know, Boston sits 'pretty-ly' (not a real word!) on the big blue Atlantic, so it doesn't get that cold. Hey, L, I used to live in Norristown. What pretty country! Smile

Yeah man, plumbers are making a killing right now.

HP, Im just glad that bitter cold is gone, I can take the snow, Im used to it. Norristown, PA. Where is that? East or West?

by **HotParadox** Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:38 am

It's in Montgomery County, near King of Prussia. I think it's northwest.

by **luciano** Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:46 am

naw, thats out east by Philly, Im right next to Ohio and the West Virginia panhandle. But I been out that way before and it is beautiful, you cant go wrong with Pennsylvania and beauty.

Hey Paul get a heat tape that plugs in. All you have to do is wrap it and plug it in. We have to use them here all of tghe time as it can really get cold here. The coldest I have seen it here was -36 with a 25 mile an hour wind.

Now that will frost your cookies for ya. Laughing

Old Timer wrote:Be honest now Dawg, are ya gonna go outside and play in it and make a snow man or a snow angel

If there's enough and it's better quality snow than we normally get... You bet yer bottom dollar I'll be making a snowman.. terrorizing people with snowballs... making snow cream!

I got to tell ya though, one thing errks me about it snowing here. Probably because I use to have to wait on people in the grocery stores. They hear snow and they go crazy buying everything left and right.

I just got back from the store, not a flake has fallen yet, won't until late this evening. Was out of bread, that's all I needed. I felt like a football player dodging in and out to the bread and I get a loaf. I turn and saw 6 women and one child eyeballing me with an evil I never saw from any defensive line I was ever up against when I played football in school. So I tucked the loaf, lowered my center of gravity as much as I can now, (been awhile since them glory days), and began my sprint. The checkout was the goal, but right then the only goal I had was to get past these women and that child.

Our shoulder collided, I pushed the youngest lady off to the side with my free hand to get her out of the picture quick. Then a grandma grabbed my arm, I felt the claw of a middle aged woman dig into what would of been my face mask. As it was, it was just my face getting cut up, stuck, and clawed by fake fingernails that are ten times as strong as they use to be.

I felt a sharp whip of a cane across my back, and I knew I'd have to do something about granny soon. But I pushed on through, my sprint had slowed to a steady run as I was carrying a middle aged woman on one side and a granny with surprisingly strong denture cream, who'd dug her teeth into my bicep and a handful of what, back in the day, would have been my cup. Didn't wear a cup. Her nails was pretty strong too.

Neither woman was willing to let go. No matter how I shimmied and shaked, they wouldn't loosen their grip. I kept thinking I'd hear a ref call the violations, apply the penalties. But none were insight.

I rounded the end of the isle. The goal was in sight. Just a few more yards when it happened. A whale that sounded like a bangie, a crunch, a howl, and a scream. They'd sent in their ringers... Two four year olds! affraid

One had crunched his freshly grown teeth into the back of my right knee. The other set hers into my shin. I wouldn't allow them to beat me though! I would not go down, nor drop the ball...uhhh.. loaf. My adrenaline pumped. I lumbered forward the last few yards.

They fought me, literally tooth and nail. But I managed to get the bread paid for. They gradually gave up and dropped off of me. All except granny. Oh what a vicious woman this was. Finally, after running her into the ice chest several times, she too dropped off. I staggered back and waited to make sure she was done for. She looked up at me, the flesh from my bicep still in her mouth, then turned to look off to the side. She shook her head then got up quicker than I'd ever seen anyone move.

It startled me, I readied my self for another round with granny. But she was no longer concerned with me as she took off down the isle again. I looked where she had ran, back to the bread isle, and.. oh... that poor bread man. pirat

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER

December 8

6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12

The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14

Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15

20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all.

December 16

Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17

Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20

Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22

Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August.
Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.

December 23

Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24

6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25

Merry f---ing Christmas!

20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26

Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27

Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28

Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29

10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30

Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31

I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8

Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?
