    Default I need to vent about snow

    I need to vent! I am so pissed off right now! I woke up this afternoon because Ryan had called me to check about something I look out the front window to see if we had gotten more snow and to my shock my truck is gone! What the fuck! I had heard of they were gonna have a snow ordnance but this is just plain stupid!

    I called the city clerks office and they told me it had been towed! What the hell! ( last night I got it stuck on the street in from of my house and could not move it to the other side) ( and we have some stupid thing were I has to be on one side of the street from 7 am to noon then the other the rest how stupid!) Any ways still trying to get a hold of the damn place were my trucks at grrr!! God damn it’s a Friday and nothing to drive in and I am sap to Pick up a friend today shit that’s never gonna happen!

    Bottom line I hate snow, winters evil, and they need to leave my truck alone!

    LOL Hey Sweetie...

    Yep.. Snow um.. blows? I hate Winter and all that snow/ice crap. Do like I'm doing... I'm heading West.. heh.. I've had quite enough of this weather, although I've basically lived in RI all my life, but spent 2 years in Arizona.. I miss it, and have decided that we're moving there.. Hubby's never been, so it'll be a nice change.

    All in all, this weather just absolutely sucks. This Winter has been one of the worst I've seen in quite a few years.

    Hang in there..

    I can't believe they towed your truck.. That sucks.. A few years ago when it snowed, I lived in a different part of town that had street-only parking, and while I was running outside to move my car to a vacant lot that we had permission to use, a cop was right at my car, writing out a nice ticket.. grr..

    :o

    The snow here has been ridiculous too. It snowed so much and then it rained. The yard is FULL of icey slush, so its really dangerous. I wanna move to FL!!! My parents did, and I may eventually in a few years. lol

    WINTER SUCKS

    Heh....my mom always used to say "I love snow, but NOT when it falls on the road!" I never understood why she hated snow so much, until I had to drive in it myself! Now I totally agree with her--it LOOKS soooo beautiful as it's falling and when it sticks to the trees and glitters in the sun/moonlight...but it's a BITCH to drive in!!!!!!

    Why the HELL couldn't they just knock on your freaking door and say "hey, move it"--wouldn't that be easier than calling a freaking truck to tow it?! DUH! They probably just want to force you to pay money to get it back--we always start getting towed/ticketed when the police funds get low! lol

    If it could snow and miss all the streets, and be like 60 degrees outside i'd be a happy man.

    I like snowball fights, but hate cold, and hate rolling my car up under an eighteen wheeler.

    Zoey, I am so sorry that happened! After reading your post, it actually made me feel kinda relieved to be in Washington state, where we curse the rain 249 days a year & wonder why the sun has to be so bright the rest of it.

    The peole who take the cars DO want to ticket people and make them pay. Thats whats so messed up about it. Kinda like the meter maids...you have one minute left, your running to your car and they start to write the ticket. Grrrrrrrrr

    I can't believe this winter is even worse than the last up north. I'm seriously contemplating getting the hell out of the DC area once and for all and heading down south to LA, Vegas or New Orleans.

    I had a friend hit "black ice" and total his car after a storm. I don't want to go out and do anything, and there's only so many DVD'd I can rent. This weather definitely makes me a bit nutty. I need to be free! LOL

    I really don't want to think about snow. My area of upstate NY received over 5 feet (yes feet) of snow in the last week, and is going to be declared a federal disaster area. The snowbanks are so high that unless you have a pickup truck or SUV you can't see over the snowbanks at intersections and you have to nose out into the main road on faith. I have 6 foot high snowbanks on both sides of my driveway and a "tunnel" through the snow to my front door !

    that might be the only way i would like snow. i moved to flordia for a reason. but then got stuck up here when my husbands job put us here.

    it got to about -45 with wind chill here a few weeks ago, i couldnt even breath. and the snow dosnt stop. you go to the store for 15 minutes and you have to clear off your car when you come out. it sucks.

    I agree, snow sucks!! I'm in Iowa. We got 10 inches on Thursday night. I was in "the city" (25 minutes from the tiny town where I live) Thursday evening, and by the time I was ready to drive towards home, there were already 4 inches on the ground!

    I was in a car accident in December due to snow and there was NO WAY I was driving that same route, so I had to make a zillion phone calls and arrange for my baby to be taken care of that night.

    Friday I had classes all day, went to them without any books, etc. Finally picked up my lil girl (good god my boobs hurt - not breastfeeding for over 24 hours is a B*TCH!!) and made it home.

    Then, as a happy little bonus, I pulled up to the house and of COURSE the town had plowed my street. I had a four foot snowdrift blocking my driveway.

    In my car accident, I had snapped my femur in half, so I'm walking with a cane. Now I ask you, how am I supposed to walk through a snow drift with a cane in one hand and a six month old baby in a car seat in the other?

    I drove randomly around town for about an hour before spotting a pickup truck with a plow on the front of it. Shamelessly flirted with the driver until he agreed to come clear out my driveway for me. Yay!!

    Moral of the story: snow sucks.

    Kali

    PS - I'm in Iowa, in a town of 1500, and over 20 minutes away from the nearest fast food restaurant, but no I am not you-know-who. LOL.

    It's about the worst winter in three years in northern Illinois, but we've been spoiled by warm and no snow winters for three years. It's been a bit under zero at night for some nights in Jan. We've had a series of annoying storrms that are dropping two and three inches, and then moving east or south. Nothing to complain about compared with the winter in New York of course. For the past three years when it hits
    Feb. 21st winter has ended. I define that as day time highs in the 40's and nights in the low 30's. If it goes beyond Feb. 21st it will be like I remember winter in the 1960's and 1970's. That is alot more snow then we are used to and a lot colder than it's been in the last fifteen years.
