The Work Weather Thread

Most assuredly doesn't fly for a real snow/ice storm, in a location that stays cold.  All you end up with is a towel/sheet/whatever frozen solid to the car.

[rivka]

And that's bad, right?

[TheTick]

Unless you like driving with your head hanging out the window in subzero temps, yeah, kind of. ;)

[Jon Boy]

Just crack off that old towel.

Even when the towel's frozen solid, it's a lot easier to pull it off, shake it off a bit, and toss it in the trunk than it is to scrape the whole windshield. I haven't had the towel freeze to the windshield, even when it was covered with six inches of snow.

[El Seed]

Do you mean to suggest that JonBoy's technique won't fly in your jurisdiction?

Nah. I just thought it would make a great physical comedy gag. The guy puts the towel on the night before, then it gets soaked and, attempting to remove the towel, the whole windshield comes off in his hands.

Really sounds like a good idea, actually.

Twenties this morning. Rain tonight.

[The Genuine]

Snow!  (But pansy Oregon snow.)

I'm not sure cursing is tolerated at this forum, but if it were, I sure would be about how Oregonians can't handle snow.

[El Seed]

:lol:

Californians are probably worse.

[rivka]

In that "lack of snow" is a large part of why many of us live here, probably so.

[Jon Boy]

It's always around this time of year that I think it would be really great to live in Arizona again.

[Smitty]

Wow.  It's kinda windy here.

[El Seed]

Rain with a 99% chance of CEO visit this afternoon. :|

[Smitty]

I like it when my CEO visits.  Sometimes, we get beer.

[El Seed]

Not us.

Our CEO is LDS. :wink:

[Jon Boy]

Root beer?

[El Seed]

Nah. He just had some ice water. :)
