Snow Storm

[Colonel Ronan]

I would just like you all to know that we were hit with a "huge" snow storm in Virginia.

Thank you for reading.

 

[MrJayremmie]

LOL! I heard the NE is getting owned. Fun stuff.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Yeah, we got pretty owned. It's only around 8" give-or-take but humans get retarded when cocaine falls out of the sky.

 

[MrJayremmie]

It is funny to watch some people trying to drive. It is like they've never seen snow before!

I know! Or when people walk in the middle of Route 7 (one of our main highways) because it's obviously safe to walk on highways when it's covered with ice and cars are going 10 mph slower.

 

[MrJayremmie]

LOL! I've never quite seen that here, but I don't usually drive all that much when we get lots of snow (which is rare in itself).

Unfortunately, we have some stupid people in this country.

I thought Portland would get a lot of snow, for some reason.

Yeah, I've seem some funny shit the past couple of days. People think that driving laws are completely thrown out the window once it snows. "I'm just gonna part in the middle of the road, seeing as it's snowing."

Being that I work in the airport, yesterday was hell.

Gotta do it all over again later today.


But I like snow though.

Yup, our airport opened up at 6 AM this morning so they're probably having a hectic time.

We had hundreds coming over from NY airports, ticketing was a mess. Then we canceled all morning flights.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Damn, must of been some pissed off people.

 

[MrJayremmie]

My friend was in NY Friday. He got on a plane early morning for PDX. I figured the snow would have affected his trip, but I guess not.

Snow is fun, last year we had like 2 ft. here in Portland. It was insane because we never have that, but after a couple days it got old. Especially if you need to get places. I was out of cigarettes the first day, so I had to walk like a mile to a 7/11... it sucked. If it is going to snow, I'm stocking up.

 

[CelticKing]

Damn, must of been some pissed off people.

some had paid $400+ for cab to come at our airport. (about 3 hr drive)

its really sad though, families going vacation etc and then they're stuck due to weather. then they're pissed that we won't pay for accommodations because its not our fault. (blame nature lol)

 

[MrJayremmie]

Have lots of people asked to be accommodated for the canceled flights?

Damn, that's crazy. Lucky they clear the main roads in a matter of hours, so it isn't too bad to commute after you get off of the side roads.

 

[CelticKing]

pretty much everyone, even though they know its weather. felt bad for the people going on cruises, one guy said if he doesn't make it, he losses the tickets (well over $6,000), non-refundable.

We got a lot last night. I had to drive 20 miles to work this morning at 5:30 with my RWD car. Fun times.

Yep, same as me. I had to wake up at around 5:30 and drove to work in my Ford Explorer. Nothing better than sliding on empty roads.

What time are you off work (I'm trying to 1UP you)?

 

[Colonel Ronan]

But then again, I had to drive a mile, not 20.

 

[44Thrilla]

I only worked til 12. It's time-and-a-half on Sundays, so they only let me work 6 hours.

Hm, lucky you.

 

[DP]

I barley got anything in the Midwest, but theres supposed to be a storm coming from Canada.

 

[44Thrilla]

Nobody gives a shit about the midwest, dude.

 

[DP]

Go get eaten by a shark.

Kayne West?

 

[Rodolfo]

This is how we roll when it snows in Portland...

[44Thrilla]

haha I've seen that video before. Don't worry, people are just as dumb here. I was riding behind this douche today that was holding his brake down every 3 seconds. He was fishtailing all over the place.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

That is a pretty hilarious video, though.

 

[MrJayremmie]

LoL, I remember that video too.

Driving in the snow is fun at times, but it can get scary when you have to go up a really icy hill (or down) and your breaks are pretty worthless because you will slide no matter what. Last year my car got super fucked up when I put chains and took a 2 hour drive to see my doctor. It is still messed up. The car still shakes and hardly has any power. Noone can find what is wrong with it...

It is a bad ass car too. Got it almost new in 2005. Nissan Altima.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Damn man, that sucks. I've never really had any problems with the ice, but then again, there aren't too many hills around here. Even if there were, there wouldn't be much to hit, you'd just slide for a couple of hours.
