One of our neighbors burns crap all of the time. He was burning finished furniture this summer. Dark black smoke and chemicals in the air, I had an asthma attack from inside the house. One of our neighbors called the cops, all they did was make him douse the fire. Two days later, he was back to burning all his crap that wouldn’t fit in his tiny garbage container.

Call DNR

Going to call into work and say unless later on it absolutely needed I'm not going in today. Will suck to miss on hours but it's ridiculous to be out in this stuff.

FYI Rulzzz:

Could this be announcer travel related?

Need to go out and clear 3 and 4 foot drifts 50 feet wide just to get to the main road. Maybe by tomorrow afternoon. Tractor plugged in, but wind will just blow it back in. Traffic moving on I80; but no local traffic, still blowing enough for continued drifting. If you live in rural areas, stay home.

Same problem for me. It’s a very consistent deep drift in front of our house. Going to take me awhile

Just took the hound out to do business before bed. Have a couple snow drifts along the side of our house that are chest to shoulder high on me and ~10ft wide x ~30ft long. I'm just under 6'6".

Jesus, someone ate their Wheaties.

My wife did that last night too. Started a new job at UI hospital in Dec. Not worth making the trip from CR to IC last night. She should be fine tonight...maybe.

Because it is more interesting than the game right now.

Turns out it was right

Poor little spruce update

 

[JP4CY]

The Tuesday huge amount, the little bit Wed night, and Friday huge amount with high winds almost exactly what weather people said would happen.

Yep, no busts this week.

Maybe it will be good if okie st actually makes it, they are going to be exhausted from travel before they even get here.
