hehe I grew up in Bama… it’s usually smart for them to do this ..cause well folks are idiots who struggle to drive when its dry…. and well big grocery needs the shelves cleared for more inventory
We're going to need you to check the tire treads too
Well, the storm has finally moved on and the final total is 19" of snow ... but the Lake Effect is supposed to start up this afternoon and go on into tomorrow.
I graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law. I lived in downtown Athens, near the corner of Lumpkin and Broad, about a 15-minute walk to the Law School. One Thursday morning it snowed, maybe two inches, probably less. I began walking to my 9:00 AM class as normal and noticed that the entire town was dead - no cars on the streets, no people of the sidewalks, no lights on the school buildings. I got to the Law School and found the doors locked. I was eventually able to attract the attention of a maintenance man who was working inside the building; he told me that school was cancelled. I asked why. He said: "Snow day."
same thing happened to my wife when she moved down to Austin … we got actual ice on the roads and she insisted on driving 30+ minutes to work because “they would call her if the office was closed”. I told her repeatedly … this is the south everything is shut down…. she gets to work … its all locked up and no one is there so she calls her boss and … well they assumed everyone knew not to head into the office on that day… lol
When my daughter moved to Austin there was snow predicted. She had only been there a couple of days and was starting a new job. It did snow but the ground was so warm it immediately melted as it fell so essentially it was like rain. A coworker called her and told her to stay home because of the weather. Daughter was born in Wyoming and raised there and in Alaska. Laughed and went into work anyway. She and one other"northern" girl were the only two that showed up. They eventually drove home as no one else showed. Locals couldn't believe they cheated death by driving in that weather.
Meant to ask, what are you doing in Redmond? You working Roberts Field or perhaps a data center in Prineville? I know the place is growing fast and the cost of living is good for retirement. Bend has become quite the little city too.
Retired about a year and 10 days ago. Moved out of Hawaii in late March and bought a house here at the end of July. Redmond has a bit over 30,000 right now, but give it 3-4 years and we'll have around 40,000.
I spent time in Oregon, when it comes to snow it's either feast or famine. Some years you may only get a few dustings and others you'll think you're in upstate New York. The cascades always get tons of snow though, I believe Crater Lake averages about 50 feet a year.
Yeah, not much except for one day yet, but a friend of mine who also moved from Hawaii about 5-6 years ago and lives about 12 miles south of me in Bend, says it could snow up until mid-March or so.
you can get hard frosts all summer too. Where I lived in southern Oregon was about 2,500 feet above sea level and even in July in would get into the 30's at night and up to 80 or 90 during the day
Whoa, wait the bloody fucking minute hold my coffee cowboy am I hearing this correct? YOU moved to Oregon. Well, I guess THAT explains a lot. I'm going to need a drink (well probably a few) to digest this. Er, so, welcome? I guess. You're not from CA so that's a plus. Sort of. Is this part of some far right wing plot to take over the state? Not planning on running for any school boards are you? Have the Bundy's on speed dial?
). Really, welcome Milli. I really, really mean that.
