You do realize that 78/79 were 2 generations ago?

I put in 110 hours in the 79 blizzard mostly inside of a front loader. "White Gold"

Driving down route 34 was like driving in a tunnel.

20 feet on both sides.

Aurora Illinois. they had to use Cats to clear the road. 78 degrees below wind chill. (1977/1978)

Pppffft Global warming....Doombasses.

I found this tasty morsel in the article;

As vice president, Biden did not disclose any gifted St. Croix travel expenses on his annual financial disclosure form. However, he also didn't list any his free stays at Allwin's home on Kiawah, despite a source close to the family telling The Post he "never paid."

Pretty sure that's an impeachable offense.

My grandpa rented 20 acres to a nearby town so they had someplace to dump snow. Constant stream of dump trucks, 24/7 for days. There was still snow in that field in May.

Well we went from bone chilling below zero temps a few weeks ago to 54F and foggy walking to work this morning.

I'm not quite ready to drain the gas out of the snow blower just yet, but it is nice to NOT use it.

Got home from work yesterday and cleared 4-5 inches of snow from the driveway. Woke up this morning to another 5-6 inches in the driveway.

They have been predicting a "bomb cyclone" that is going to cause heavy rains and life threatening flooding in Cali.
Cal Trans, the weather service and the news is advising people to stay home or GTFO if you live in flood prone areas. There are levies and damns in danger of imminent failure as well

In my part of Cali, we are on the edge of the desert and these storms usually blow out or divert to the east
before the get this far south.
It is raining here, but it's a light steady rain and so far, it hasn't caused any trouble in my part of the world.
I would love to take CalTran's advice and stay home but here I am.

Got home yesterday and had to clear a foot plus at the end of the driveway where the plow came by. Then this morning the plow left another 6 inches at the end of the driveway.

I swear that municipal plow truck drivers live for that shit.

The only reason it was only 6 inches this morning is because I spent a good half hour digging out our mailbox and getting it back to the curb last night. There wasn't much there for the plow. My neighbor across the street had a good foot plus drift this morning.

We could use some of this......

Well then take our advice you old fart and retire.
