Keep up your hope it has to stop snowing sooner or later and then the glorious sun will shine down and warm you up.

 

Mmmm, Uguel?

I really don't think that is normal snow. I think it is dandruff falling from BigC lounging in the lawn chair above your post

 

Thank you for the encouragement!!!


What is that yellow gizmo? Is that what some folks call "a sun?"
I haven't seen it for months and I am not too sure about it!!!

If that is "dandruff", there must be millions of men shaking their heads over Canada now...

 

Mother nature must have the mange to drop that much dandruff.

Tips for starting your car in winter.

# Be sure you have a heavy-duty battery in your car. Replace it once a week.
# Install an oil heater, a radiator heater, an internal pre-heater, and an external pre-heater.
# If you can't get your key in the lock:
a. Check the color and make; is it your car or did yours slide downhill overnight;
b. Use a blowtorch to thaw the lock.
# Key won't turn in the ignition:
a.Try turning it with pliers; be careful you don't break the key in the lock;
b.Go inside and have a cup of coffee.
# Press the accelerator to the floor and release it; if you have to bend down and pull the accelerator off the floor, your gas has frozen:
a.Put a can of Heet in the car;
b.Go have another cup of coffee. Rationalize that the temperature will go from -19 to -18.5. Fortify those odds with another can of Heet - drink it.
# Turn the ignition key.
a.If the starter turns the engine over, flood the engine to force the frozen gas plug loose and to get the thawed gas into the carburetor.
b.Go have another cup of coffee - try to find a bus schedule; go outside and try again when you learn you have a 45 minute wait for a three-hour bus ride.
# Turn the ignition key.
a.If the starter just clicks, you need a jump. Find some jump cables; connect the red wire to the positive terminal, the black wire to the negative terminal, and plug the other end of the cables into an electrical outlet. Make sure you hold the metal ends of the cables - this won't help the car, but will send several hundred volts through your body to avert frostbite.
b.Go have another cup of coffee while the battery charges for 15 minutes.
# Turn the ignition key.
a.When the car doesn't start (and it won't), remove the air cleaner and spray ether into the carburetor. Let the fire burn at least five minutes to help thaw the engine.
b.Go have a cup of coffee and call a service station because you dropped the wing nut into the carburetor.
# Turn the ignition key.
a.If the car doesn't start, go have a cup of coffee and call work that you won't be in; then call a service station.
b.If the car starts, go have a cup of coffee and call work that you won't be in; then take the day off to celebrate.

 

Loooooooooooooooooooool!!!

 

I knew we had too much snow. It's even gotton into the Wilders software.
I hope the poor puppy doesn't freeze. Nice effect Uguel!

 

Another tip for starting your car.

Look outside. If the temp is below +10F, just call into work. Why worry about all the other stuff? It's a good way just to stay inside and keep warm.

 

Yes, it might be a good idea but I am not too sure how Management would react to this?

 

Well at least we have an advantage over bigc. The farther north you live, the more the likelyhood is that it will really happen.

 

It really doesn't matter how management reacts down here I am retired.

 

I wouldn't worry to much about the pup he seems to be doing pretty well.

 

Well, you are right in a way....
Some days all schools were closed and many roads too!
So, on these occasions I didn't have to go to work!
But I have to shovel a lot though!

 

Wow! That's a nice border collie!!!

 

You know, I grew up in New York City, and it took me years after coming up here to southern Ont. to figure out why winter seems more miserable up here. Not really much colder (with rare exceptions), or more snow to speak of.

Then it finally dawned on me -- it's because winter here is so l - o - n - g. Typically it's May before we can safely feel that it's finally behind us.

I drove taxi here weekends, as a second job, for something like 20 years, and in all that time there was only one occasion when I pulled the car off the road and called it a night early because of hazardous winter-weather conditions. And that was in April, for heaven's sake.

 

hey well... well we had snow here in Texas too you know there was almost 1/4 inch up against the sides of my house saturday morning but it melted by noon

 

I didn't think that it snowed underground?

 

how rude... why, the profanity! The, the, the insanity!
