The snow in those pics looks like this place 8 months out of the year

Silencer · January 27, 2009, 05:43:29 PM

cathryn · January 27, 2009, 05:51:01 PM

i do and it is.

The snow scenes are really pretty, looks like the little girl is enjoying it, we have not had any snow in South Carolina to amount to anything for several years, would be nice to see one for a little while, but not to much, like to see it come and love to see it go. cc

You must live in the south. Not used to much snow.

The morning news said we've had over 120 inches of snow so far this year. Schools only been canceled 1 day. Most people around here don't think much of 6 inches, just a bit of snow. But we are equipped for it, the plows run 12 - 16 hours a day to keep the roads semi clear.

alscalls · January 27, 2009, 06:56:30 PM

I have not seen a snow plow yet......and I am in town!!!! Cathryn probably wont see one for a few days.

cathryn · January 27, 2009, 07:12:25 PM

after the wreck last night they sent one up here about 8 oclock last night.
i havent seen one today and dont expect to till bout Saturday.

theyve already called off school here for tomorrow. in all likelyhood even when there is school the bus wont be coming up here to get the kids.

theyll eithre have to walk out or they wont be going.

nastygunz · January 27, 2009, 07:23:20 PM

We are supposed to get between 10-14 with sleet tomorrow whoo-hoooooooo....I may have to drive down to Derry and video Browning shoveling his driveway!

Silencer · January 27, 2009, 07:27:31 PM

Cathryn, can they make them walk out like that ? I dont think its legal here. If the bus cant make it around here and there is school you have a legal excused absense. Many a times when I was a kid living with my grandparents on the mountain I missed school because the bus couldnt make it.

cathryn · January 27, 2009, 07:35:39 PM

they dont make them but our driver wont come up sometimes for a week and that adds up to alot of work to make up.

ive actually complaind because there are alot of days it isnt dangerous he just doesnt want to come up.

if he put chains on its be easy.

the lady bus driver we had before him always put on chains and came up in here to get the kids.

dont get me wrong, if its dangerous i dont want him to come up but theres alot of times he could get up here but just wont even try. we're abut 1.5 to 2 miles from where they catch the bus when he doesnt come up.

REALLY???

Are ya'll that far out or are the plows stretched that thin?

The county plow trucks are a regular sight here this time of year. I have a cousin that plows for the county. His job is to go from one end of the county to the other on highway 31. He does that for 10 hours a day if it is snowing.
