Unpaid day off. Enjoy.

I love the snow, man-- preferably when I'm watching it fall through one of the windows of my house because I happened to glance to the left, while I'm nice and warm and already entertained (possibly a li'l intoxicated) in a pretty comfortable place, like a bed or one of those huge armchairs that make me look like a midget.
But yeah, man, snow? No problem.
[EDIT: I also like starting snowball fights with little kids. It's hard to lose when you can one-hit TKO the little suckers. And deliberately using the space immediately bordering my one
neighbor's driveway to pile my shoveled snow, so that he has to either re-shovel my piles to clear his way or back straight out of his driveway, all the way across the street and then have to do something like a 3-point turn to get out without slamming through the snowbank? Yeah, I get some entertainment out of that. Drawing faces in the snow on peoples' cars, I do that every now and then. Did the ice-rink sidewalk thing once to an old guy that always ed with me and my friends when I was younger. THAT was pretty funny, actually... could just be the memory that's funny, though.... mehI can be a
sometimes, yeah, but so can most of the people in the neighborhood.]

I don't think it makes a difference but I could be wrong. I'm sure you'd find out if there was a problem.

Not much snow at all, lots of sleet on top of the snow in my area, I estimate 1in of snow and a layer of hard icy sleet 2in

It's resulting in a bunch of accidents here so probably justified. Also every snow storm is just making the roads narrower and narrower. Most winters there will be some melting between storms.

As far as I'm concerned the younger generation is growing more wimpy about everything. Too cold to work-too hot to work-need a month off because the wife had a baby-supervisor picks on me---boo-hoo-hoo.

Sometimes I wonder if they say that, just to put the blame on someone else.

I won't say its wrong to take time off when you have a kid but years ago it was unheard of---- maybe a day or two AT THE MOST. Its all just part of the softening up of America. They would have probably found a way to fired you if you took a whole MONTH off. I guess we will never know because no one did.

I don't think it's so much of a wimpy attitude but newer light weight package cars that get stuck when they are just calling for snow. Couple that with smaller, light weight cars and we have a daily game of dodgems on our routes.

A landscaping crew is putting in a retaining wall in my area. Wind chill -10 today. There are still real men out there.

I swear yesterday I was about to throat punch someone.
If I had met another f250 with mud tires on a road that only has 1 lane plowed and they throw their hands up like they can't move over I might have lost my

Lol recently had a house go up close by. If rain was in the forecast or the high below 40 no one was ever there.
I told my wife that would not have flown when I was in construction and won't fly when I build a house.

Cars weigh as much or more than ever.
A new truck weighs almost 1000 lbs more than my 1991 gmc. All the electronics and safety features add a ton of weight.

nowhere special
My old P1000 was about 8500 pounds and when I got a newer one it was about 10500. Newer truck still handled like crap in any bad weather.
