friskybri Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Finally A snow storm I can be proud of. Cancelled all my flights, reassigned me to do another flight from Chicago to Buffalo NY Wed morning LOL NOT, fat chance on me making it for that one. I want it to snow so much the power goes out. Want to play with my generator and transfer switch. But sense I puchased that our power hardly goes out anymore. Suppose to get 20 inches. Wanting 36 but probably not going to happen. I get to use my snow blower for more then 2 inches of snow. Guess me and the kids will play the wii, and board games for the next 2 days. I know I sound crazy, your probably right but its going to be a fun two days.Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 When I was a kid I loved snow storms because I didn't have to shovel the crap but now that I am older I detest winter I am trying to get my wife to go south for two months out of every year was thinking Feb, & March, but anyways you have fun with your kids and enjoy your time off probably well deserved. make sure your snowblower is fully gased up LOL:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkcubsrule Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have to say, I laughed out loud when I saw the tagline of your original post!I think people are freaking out WAY to much. It's just a bunch of snow...we're Chicagoans! We're used to it!Apparently Midway Airport is closed all the way down too. I mean, we don't live in Florida where 1" of snow = disaster, do we?

Wayne K Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here around Fort Wayne In. the stuff started about 2 hours ago and I just got home from my doctor and took the back way comming home and I would say with the wind we got right now and the snow we have gotten already, in a couple of hours we will have a lot of country roads in passable.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
