Ohioans! Is it snowing where you're at tonight?
It is where I am although there's about five inches on the ground the winds are FIERCE and the temps are in the teens so the roads are icey!

I do like the snow though.

1. I just got home from work
and it's freezing and blowing like crazy in the last 20 minutes. I cleaned about 3 inches off the back window of the car when I came out. Stay safe everyone!

3. It's bad, but not as bad you're getting Sasquatch

I'm in Columbus.

Appropo of nothing-are you pissed that Michigan won today? Florida is my second-most hated team so I wasn't rooting for either.

Go Bucks!

4. I was actually pulling for Lloyd Cooper because it was his last game
That and in my old hometown I know some people that're Neo-Confederate wanna be Southerners,:eyes: and I love it everytime a Big Ten team beats and SEC team. In fact I love it when any non-SEC school beats an SEC school.




O-H-I-O!

5. Yeah, but I'm pretty close to you
Just got in a few minutes ago from my parents' house. What usually is a 10 minute drive took 20. It looks like the salt and plow crews are starting to get out in West Carrollton, but not Miamisburg or Miami Township. Roads were snow packed for the most part. Hopefully, they'll get this shit cleared off before I have to go to work tonight. It would be nice to hear from someone from the Cleveland and Akron areas because that's where I have to go on my trucking route. I think they were supposed to get hit pretty hard.

6. Well somebody said it's not so bad in Columbus
I hope the front isn't coming from the Lake, if it is your route will be quite difficult.

8. Cool. Thanks, man.
I can deal with the cold, but that snow really throws a wrench into the works.

9. It SUCKED this morning
when I left for work, what normally takes 35-40 mins took 1 1/2 hours and it was snowing and blowing so hard I could hardly see. Brights were a definite NOPE, thank god for fog lights which helped me sorta see the way. Had the Durango today and the 4wd was a definite plus today, stopped for one car in the ditch, he had somebody coming so I headed on into work.

Just got home a bit ago, roads are in a bit better shape but gotta head south to Columbus in a bit to take my girls to the airport so they can fly back home to florida.

btw, NW Ohio here about 80 miles south of Toledo
