snow

[old2soon]

      You know-that fluffy or wet white crap come outin the sky long with dat cold weather and some kids snow skiers and boarders and sno machine riders like!  Well here in SoMo it is in FACT mostly gone!!!!  Rainin right now but that's another story fer another time. There Was a time in the distant past that I actually looked forward to snow. MONEY to be made even before I got my drivers license! After I got my license I learned was taught how to drive a wrecker truck. And jump start vehicles. NOW as I continue to age I'll stay inside with hot meals hot coffee and let folks git stoopid all on their own.  Pretty danged sure-no I KNOW they no need my help slippin and slidin. Those that "think" they Know how to handle snowy icy roads scare the hell outa me. Stock up stay home let it run it's course. Nuttin to prove no how-been there done that got the T-shirt.  Hope it-snow-goes away fer everyone!  RIDE SAFE.

Well I’m giving you the task of removing the “stuff “ by the last week of April. I’ll make it my mission to take care of Minnesota and Iowa. 3 years ago we didn’t clear the snow belt until we were below Des Moines. That year it was 26* when we went KSU from Minneapolis.

Woke up to a skiff of white this morning after several days of sun and warmth.   Winds had just had to blow.  Not fun outside with gusty winds and mid 20's temps.  But not as bad as it was in WY when I lived there.  We'd  get  8-10 inch snow which we would shovel for three days.   Now here in OR it just falls and stays put, thankfully.

heat wave broke out the shorts finally yesterday 45 degrees out and sunny light winds.  Got the oil changed on 2 of my vehicles desperately overdue 4500 to 5300 miles on them do not like to go over 4500 miles on regular oil.  Now to run over to the car wash today, neither vehicle been washed all winter long long overdue as well.   Suppose to be in the 40's for next 7 day outlook with no snow,etc, about time.

I did see yesterday some crazy on a crotch rocket cycle in town when roads were having water/salt runoff all over the roads having about a 5 inch snowfall base still all around us.  Was shocked to see my roof which had 1 week ago a 3 foot pile up of snow now down to mostly bare shingles showing except the one spot where the sun does not hit it much having still 1 foot piled up on the roof. 

SPRING is right around the corner.  I checked my log book of oil changes on the car yesterday changing oil and last year I took the snow tires off March 15th, so NOT long now only a few more short weeks to fire up 1 of the cycles, maybe?    This winter though we have had more snow than the past few years so still might be April 1st before firing up a cycle?

Here’s a reason to wish for more snow.
Busch beer has a rebate for every inch of snow you get a dollar back. In Wisconsin it’s at $10 now. Last year the case of beer was almost free.
Let it snow!!!!

          When I had the driveway plowed he piled it near the power pole between the neighbor and I. Today-raining 63 Degrees F-it is now-the pile-about the size of a good old fashioned wheel disc. And I spect it WILL be gone in a little while!  And at last check yesterday we wuz under a flah flood warning!  From minis and single digit temps to in da 60s and floods!  Welcome to SoMo.  IF the weather was near the same everyday I'd have nuttin ta pitch a bitch about!  RIDE SAFE.

thanks for the heads up on busch beer rebate.  Too bad I like girly drinks and wine coolers.   I called my local in town gas station who also runs the car washer next door and the cashier lady said she was pretty sure the car wash was open.  Well,  went to take both cars over the same time bugging the wife to take one over and whatcha know,  it was broke.  That is why last few years I have not gone over there again broke more than working.  I guess my salt white vehicles will just rust until the rain comes in a few more weeks?
