    heres what your little chicago area flurries brought. All trucks out of chicago delayed. should have received three trucks already. will likely get hit with two tomorrow and one possibly two on saturday. All product from these trucks are for my depts. gonna get jammed and crammed. fun fun fun.

    Frankly , I blame 81 and Speedy. I'll get you guys. trust me. you're on the list!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:



    Say Eyed? Ya busy in about 8 weeks? should be healed from getting your club foot fixed , right? :mrgreen:

    Depends. What kind of inventory is on these trucks?
    Thats irrelevant. What is relevant is you possibly planning an Eyed spring "hiking trip" for the baby and his cohort.

    Dear Rat,

    Please send a truck and a loader. I would like to ship a pile of snow to the Columbus area.

    Thanks

    just looking at the foreacst for the next 10 days....

    this shit isn't going anywhere anytime soon. i guess it's sort of cool. i've seen snow piles, but never like this.

    also some more light snow coming this sun/mon. not sure what light snow means, but it's going to suck finding a spot to store even an inch or two more of this white stuff. :lol:

    I'm pretty sure they'd both be eager to join me on a little walk... especially Speedy. He adores me.

    shouldn't this be in the " did you get the memo" thread? hehehe

    shit, all you need to do is have Speedy back a truck up to a pile and use your snowblowers to fill it!!

    My street is already dry.

    However schaumburg road is plowed like shit. Right lane would be fine, then the snow would cover 1/3rd of the lane. Thanks cook county.

    Barrington is still a disaster. Looks like it had 4plus inchs still on the road

    Yeah, I've heard some of the main roads out in the burbs are in rough shape. I know there was a shitload of snow, but it hasnt been snowing for well over 24 hours...these roads should be cleaned up by now.
  • 8181 Posts: 58,276
    it just pisses me off that the villages depend on the county/state to handle the snow on so many of the major roads.

    and we all know the county's focus isn't in the burbs.

    where i grew up, the city's (notice not village) would handle everything within the city's borders (except interstates), regardless of who "owned" the road.

    the major roads were always done first and than residential streets.

    seems like here, it residential, than major, which really fucks up traffic.

    personally, i'd much rather deal with a little snow during the slow residential portion of my drive, vs. the 4 lane high traffic portion....nah....that makes too much sense, this is IL.

    :lol:


    enough ranting

    Fucking crazyness today/tonight in my semi....

    Im on Rt 83, which has been plowed.....Except for ONE LITTLE PROBLEM........

    The guy plowing it must have had a bottle of Jack Daniels with him to keep him warm....hehe

    3 lanes for a mile...
    Then it becomes 2 lanes...
    Then back to 3 lanes....
    Then 1 and a half lanes....
    Then back to 2 and a half lanes....

    Actually that problem was everywhere.....

    When everyone is back to work tomorrow (and everyone should be back at work by now) there is going to be major traffic situations(accidents).....

    Unless they fix the problem this evening(which I dont see happening)
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Where's your sense of adventure?

    You haven't really lived until you've approached a Massachusetts rotary with snowpiles so high you can't see the oncoming traffic.

    And here, to yield is to admit you are a wuss.

    Still no winter snow and we're approaching mid-January. Don't know if we'll get hammered with snow in February and March.
