Snow donkeys get pissed when they are also soggy, so watch out.

I looked outside an hour ago and it was raining and 30 degrees, so knew the change over was coming.

Snow on top of soaked surfaces = ice... Already sticking here on the roads and 1/4" deep...

It is going to be ugly. Glad I bought gas for the generator last night.

I'm so excited that I am here at work for another 3 hours...Then I get to drive home in teh most treacherous of conditions. Go go gadget physics exemption!

Nick Koan 2008-01-04 05:58 PM

Yeah, this definitely seems like a night to stay in.

Nick Koan 2008-01-04 06:07 PM

Hot damn. I figured I'd go rent a movie before it got too bad out there. I missed that boat by a few hours I guess :p

I made it about 1/2 mile down the road before saying "screw that"

What, your bald tires can't handle the snow?

Nick Koan 2008-01-04 06:18 PM

Only one part of one tire is bald. :p

I guess thats better than nothing. My whole tire is bald. The only thing Giving me traction is the wear bars. (little exageration)

Dean 2008-01-04 06:27 PM

2 inches in the past hour... Almost unheard of in Reno...

moose 2008-01-04 06:29 PM

I shoveled half of my drive way and in a half hour it was already to 1/2 inch. Its narly out there.

I thought about that, but the DTV wasn't really working earlier with all the wind and rain. Might be better now that its just snow.

I do think I have those "Welcome to DirecTV, here are some free PPV coupons" lying around here somewhere.

Nick Koan 2008-01-04 06:55 PM

Oops, that's a big negatory now that the dish is completely covered in snow :lol:

tysonK 2008-01-04 07:20 PM

I bit the bullett, went for a movie and groceries/beer:?: slow on the road.I saw 2 STI's at Raleys. I went and found a huge empty parking lot for donuts though:)

I made it back through Washoe Valley, lots of mini-vans out in the middle with hazards on, slowly disappearing under the falling powder. Coming down the hill into Carson, I got to countersteer a little at 45mph, fun, kinda. I saw a donkey try to materialize, but he got taken out by a Suburban.

Dean 2008-01-04 09:28 PM

Donkey's like Suburbans and mini vans.

I gave up after shoveling 6-8 inches and then 1 inch and 1 inch. At least it won't be impossible in the AM. Heard lots of sirens while I was out there wafting up from the valley below. There must be a herd in the neighborhood.
