Joe Handley Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That is the nice thing about my new job, it's 3.5 miles from home and mostly slow, residential streets, was also told that if the snow slows us down enough in transit that we're a bit late, it's ok. Although, living that close to work and having a Jeep, I probably still don't have much excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If everything goes to plan, I'll be working from home (remotely for my current client here in AZ) when I move to NE Ohio at the end of January. But I'll still have a Jeep for when I have to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 What does having a Jeep have anything to do with it, don't they plow the streets by you?Not very well sometimes, there were times that when I'd be running between home and any of the stores I worked for in St. Charles (both HobbyTown locations and Toy's "R" Us) and the roads were barely touched when I would head in to work or leave to return at night and you could barely tell where the lanes were, let alone a painted center divider happened to be, which is not fun when you're driving down North Avenue past Dupage Airport at 9:00pm prior to the road being redone to it's current, much improved state. 4wd is needed, but it makes things much easier.

High octane Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Not here!lived in our current house 21 yrs, the whole time, a plow has come down our street ONCE, about 20 yrs ago.pay my taxes for what? we're classed as a minor secondary road (whatever that is..) snow is gone by the time they ever make it to around our neighborhoodThey seem to plow the streets and roads by me usually within a couple hours of the snowfall, and have been doing it for years. And no, I don't live in a "high rent" district either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 White knuckle drives aren't a lot of fun!No they're not as I remember 'bout 1979-1980 driving home from Buffalo in a rain/snow(?) storm and following a tractor/trailer for many miles to guide me through. When the semi turned off, I was on my own with the family in the car also. Tough ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk11 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 So far, not a heck of a lot of accumulation here; an eight inch dump about three weeks ago with minor flurries since. A weeks worth of -10 f here broke today, all the way up to 20 mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 We got 8"-12" here from late Sat. through late Sun. (SE Michigan). Kind of sloppy getting around, but nothing we haven't seen many times before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnslow Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Really feel for you guys , up in all that, it's going to be cooler here for the next couple of days ( mid to high 60s) then back to the low 80s for a couple , ten day forecast average is 73 , not bad for December . Haven't had any cold ( sub freezing ) yet , still have tomato plants growing and blooming . We don't usually get the colder stuff until January or February.

Tom Geiger Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It was the coldest day of the year so far, but no snow yet in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. All the roads have been brined so they all have those parallel lines on them right now. It will probably snow over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
