Oh, hello winter!

lynne b · 10-27-2010, 02:32 PM

OMG!!! I don't even want to think about that stuff already. I am not ready for it, of course i am never ready for it. I hope you co-workers made it to work ok.

Where i live they are putting in what is called the Hoosier Heartland Corridor, which is a 4 lane freeway and it is come right pass my house, well they have been working on the bridges all summer and most days on my way home from work the dust was blowing so hard that you could barely see in front of you, I am dreading this winter bad because there is nothing there to block the snow when it blows and my road is already bad enough with all of the traffic on it.

You guys be careful out there.

Snow already! It's hard for me to imagine...we're still waiting for it to get out of the 80s. I'm jealous

Oh Lindsay! I can't imagine snow - it was 91 here today. BUT there is supposed to be a cool front tonight and it is supposed to only be 76 tomorrow. But SNOW and glare ice, no way! I hate glare ice - we call it black ice, it really isn't black, but it's that kind of ice that you don't see or know you are on till it is too late and you have done a 360 in your car!

Gayle, we call that black ice here too when you can't see it!

The roads in town and in the city are still super icy but the highway was great this morning. We left our house at 6:50 this morning and were able to drop Layla off at the university on the opposite end of the city at 7:30. I made it to work on time, and Scott should be making it pretty close. I think this will need to be our winter schedule!

All of my coworkers made it in yesterday, but there was a bit of complaining going on lol.

It's supposed to warm up next week, up to about 11 degrees C (52 F) in the middle of the week, so the snow will all be gone. According to the forecast, there's no more snow for at least 2 more weeks, which is good because we need to get our Christmas lights up

I sure don't want any snow to come....Lindsey...you just keep it up there with you. It's so cold here this morning (44 degrees) and the wind is still blowing. Suppose to get down to 26 tonight so I'll have to plug the bus in so it will start in the morning. It can be cold if it has to, but please....no snow.

Lindsey · 10-28-2010, 08:31 AM

Oh I hate when it's cold WITHOUT snow! Especially getting close to Christmas, I love the snow. I just wish it would go away in January instead of March or April lol.

This morning when we dropped off Layla it was -13 C (about 8 F) and it actually felt like winter. It hasn't been THAT cold the last few days, just a little below freezing. I'm glad I wore my mittens today!

WOW! It really did turn into winter! And some people forgot how to drive on ice and snow!

Thanks for sharing those pictures, we never hardly see snow down here, so that was great!
