Re: Let It Snow
 

[quote=SolidSnake84;661031]We had just over 3 feet here at my house. Our neighborhood still hasn't been plowed due to the money situation most likely (The county said in the paper that it had no more snow removal money, and as a result some places won't get plow service because they will be focusing on the main roads, etc...).

So there was a radio announcement yesterday begging ANYONE who had a plow truck or tractor to please come and help each other...it was pro bono work, but due to an emergency, they were just asking people to help each other out. My dad went out last night with his tractor, which is a john deere with a big snowblower on the front of it. He plowed driveways and stuff until about 2 in the morning...

Now with nearly a 100% chance of snow for Tuesday night and Wednesday, we will probably be shut in again...[/quote]

big props to your dad.. there's not a lot of community action like that anymore unfortunately

we paid a guy 20 bucks to clear our driveway with his bobcat, took him less than 10 mins, he made bank in the neighborhood.. renting a dozer and a snowblower can make some good money around this time

I got to my work in baltimore today, the main roads are basically good, but you are at your own risk on the mid range roads, lots of 4 lanes with 2 lanes open, and the neighborhood streets, forget it. Driving past a school, the parking lot hadn't been plowed, they will be shut down for a while, especially if this second storm tomorrow doesn't fizzle out. Worse thing it could do really is lay down a sheet of ice and sleet then a couple of inches of snow. All of this is crazy

Re: Let It Snow

Eff people who don't clean off their cars before getting on the road. These jackasses driving around with a foot of snow on their roof are so dumb. And a danger to others on the road.

I absolutely agree. What f-ing a-holes. I swear if I see one near me, I will let them know how I feel. Lazy bastards.

You can get ticketed for that in NY, not sure what your laws are in regard to that.

Re: Let It Snow
 

They say its illegal in VA, but i've yet to see it happen. Every car you pass on the road is covered....

My favorite is driving behind one of them with that entire sheet falls off and lands on my hood.
