Why’s it so quite?

[zulusafari]

We didn't get near that much down here. It is blowing pretty good, so I have some drifts that will exclipse that, but if we got 4" it would be a lot. I will be in to work very soon, so I will see what they got up there.

My stupid neighbor (but he is going to collage and works for Target) was trying to get his car out of his drive and what I didn't know at the time was that he didn’t have a snow shovel. What I found out later was that he did had was a flat blade chipper! Well that was at 7:30 AM so the next time I look out at 9:30 is he has only made it 20 feet or so in his drive? So I go start my truck and get the tow strap and go offer to help and that is when I saw what he was using to dig him self out with

All I can say is why do they allow stupid people to have a drivers license as he had his wheels turned all the way to the left and trying to back over a hill of packed wet snow the plow trucks left in front of his drive. Well I get my shovel that I keep in the truck and told him to hook the tow strap to his axel (he didn’t even know what an axel was) so I had to tell him what it was and where it was and then moved snow out from behind his back tires. Anyway the first time I have it in 4 hi and all I do is spin tires and I think what the hell so I stop and get out to see why Come to find out he turned his front wheels this time to the right so I tell him to turn them back straight and to leave them their and reset the truck and drop it in 4 Low and it pulled him out in 5 seconds. OK it was a small front wheel drive Chevy something

It just amazes me that someone can live here in north IA for many years and still be so stupid. Oh just as I finished getting him out one of our local firemen drives by in his Chevy Maxipad and asked if the kid has ever gotten him self a shovel yet! Can you say stupid people :fist:

yep. I have shovelled people out before because they don't own the right equipment. Makes a guy feel both good and frustrated at the same time.

I didn't realize the Eastern half got hit so hard!! We were told to brace for the worst, and got very little. I am trying to find out the condition of my house over yonder, since the power was out for quite awhile!! Friends say poles are down for miles, and power likely won't be restored for a week or better!!

ISU is the same way. I park in the commuter lot. If there's even a quarter inch of now on the lot these people somehow manage to forget how to park a fricking car. I got parked in one day...

The cars next to me were right up to the truck. Then ONE car width behind me, some dumb f-ck parked his piece of sh-t lesabre. Luckily, by the time I got the truck warmed up the guy next to me backed his truck out...If he hadn't I was just gonna throw a large receiver hitch on and ram into the lesabre :THREAT: Not to move it, just make me feel better.

The people will line cars up next to each other and not ANGLE them, so that by the end of the row, the cars are parking in the next row....


This si from the snow a few weeks ago....



When it snows I can't even make it down 60% of the rows Instead of driving around looking for a spot, i drive around looking for a row I can squeeze down....

They do that at my work, too! I have to thread a dually 4x4 through aisles like that some days!

Not to be too harsh, but don't they teach the road crews in Iowa how to plow/clear streets?? I have always been disgusted with how they do (or should I say DON'T) it! What good is it to plow straight across an intersection, and never come back to clear the little "speed bumps" left behind, and certainly never actually radius around the corners????:fist: I was clipped once when the little-blonde-teenie-bopper-commutes-to-school-on-her-learner's-permit didn't know to drive through that mess left in the radius. Naturally, the local wide-blue-line gets out of his explorer and refuses to give her a ticket as it was the "weather" that caused the collision, and the estimated damage was very small (corner lamp) and didn't trigger an accident report She still paid to fix my vehicle, but still!

Yeah, my relatives come south to visit and just shake their heads...
