Complaint Department!!

Post by Tim Powell »

Hey Crew.
Is Trucker-Tim the only one tired of winter??
Can't seem to get any work done on Lori's "M" cause all I do is move snow.
Fix things that break cause of the snow.
Sit in my chair and pout cause of the snow!
When I'm on the road Mr.Freightliner don't like the snow!
Show me your hands, who's ready for spring?? :evil:
Gotta' hit the road tomorrow. Yes, it's supposed to snow.

Tim, I hate to tell ya', it ain't the winter; it's where you live and what you do.

Winter up here in the PNW (the wet side of Washington state) gets a little chilly but seldom cold.

Driving a big truck is a tough way to go, especially in the heat of summer and the bone cold winter where you are.

Not surprised you're more than a little sick of winter snow!

Official Spring is only a little more than a month away. Don't know if Spring will make any difference to snow where you are though.

Hang in there. Soon it will be too hot to go outside.

Hey Tim,

Cheer up, there is only two more months of this crap to deal with. :lol: The weather liar on the TV said that we are 20+ inches above our normal snowfall for the season so far. It seems as though I shovel the patio daily and plow the driveway every other day.

If your over this way let me know, I'll buy ya a snow cone.............I mean a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Ironic. Its finally getting cold enough to snow here and we're all crossin' our fingers that it will. Just for a change. (Also in the PNW)

Yep, I'm lagging too, as Bert will attest. A series of storms hitting Utah starting Thursday thru the following Tuesday-I'll be moving FEET of snow daily. As a result, my M37 brake job is still pending but I did get all of my Ram 1500 work done then traded it last weekend for a new, fully loaded Jeep Rubicon 4-door with factory Dana 44s, Lockers, the works--sweet ride that is nestled in the garage next to my M37.

Boy Tim, I know what you mean. Why just this morning I had to put a sweater over my T-shirt just to get the paper off the lawn. :D

Seriously though, we could definitely use some rain. We get a few scattered showers and that's about it. California is in a drought but I still hear from the city if I let my lawn go brown for the winter.
I can just imagine what traffic would be like here, if we received the kind of snow and ice you lot are dealing with back there.

Last night when I got home, I had to plow another 6" of snow from the driveway and shovel the patio AGAIN. :roll:

I am very tired of winter, we have had 4 major snow storms and this week one of the country's worst freezing rain events which left nearly eighty thousand folks with out electric power here in southern Pennsylvania which has been well covered by the networks TV evening news. Trees down, wires down and lots of vehicle wrecks. Sandy and I have been lucky in that we never lost power for some strange reason while my neighbors as little as two hundred yards away have been without for days, go figure! I was prepared for power loss with four of my GI cans full of fuel, the generator serviced with fresh engine oil, new air filter then test run under load for a couple of hours. My driveway is still a sheet of ice and since we are having temperatures well below freezing it seems it will remain that way for the near future. I have had enough of this global warming and would send as much of this south to you MM as I have just about had my fill of cold, ice and snow.

Ditto, Carter, another series of storms swinging into Utah right now and through the weekend. Of course it's heading eastward, so be ready!
