Hi guys, finally time to reply on the weather thread. We had a bit of ice

storms here. With probably 5 to 6 inches of snow due over the weekend. I've

been pretty tired here this week. Cold weather and or snow and ice always

means extra work in my job.

We have had ice storms here before that were worse as far as leaving ice

in trees and knocking down limbs. This time even though we got little ice

in the trees the streets were awful. We got rain on top of the ice. Now my

work van (think frito lay type step van or larger van like UPS) is horrible

to drive in any snow or ice. My personal van is front wheel drive and I get

in it and it says 'what ice?' Not this time. Even was sliding around bad in

personal van. So work truck was a nightmare.

Then when the temps dip down in the low 20's I have to take all my pop

off of truck overnight and reload in the mornings. I typically carry 70

cases of canned and 8 cases of bottle. I can usually cut this in half

during bad weather by guessing what I will use per day. Still it is very

tiring to off load and reload. I do have chain ice cleats that I can put on

over my shoes so I don't slide as much on the ice. This time with the rain

was even slipping some just walking on the ice.

So far this week first two days creaped around town l5 miles an hour. By

the way the first day I knew was really bad. 6:30 in the morning had to

pull over three times on main street (also major highway) fir a sherrifs

car and two ambulances red light and siren. Had to pull over off the lane

and a half that street crews had cleared onto the parking area not cleared.

Sliding all the way. Then looked back and what the heck the vehicle I

pulled over for is still three blocks away. They were going 20 with their

sirens and lights going and were about 6 blocks apart. Didn't know there

were three vehicles because they come around a corner.

I came home every night ate a bite and had hot tea then laid down and

napped till bedtime. I wear insulated overalls so I kept fairly warm. But

in the thaw the other day had water seep into one of my boots the last hour

at work, yuk.

now I remember why I left all of that camping stuff in the trunk of the car - track sun on the crappy roads
