It’s supposed to snow Friday and Saturday. I was going to meet my sister in Iowa City Saturday to watch the WBB game but I don’t think I want to drive 3.5 hours in a snowstorm. Anybody want to watch Caitlin Clark Saturday?

Anybody want to watch Caitlin Clark Saturday? I would, but I'd have to drive through the same snowstorm. On probably worse roads.

Anybody want to watch Caitlin Clark Saturday? I wouldn’t fuck around with the weather system we have coming. A bunch of snow followed by arctic temps on the heels of this last system? I’ll be at home, thanks. BTW snow took out a bunch of trees in IC….that’s a lot of snow.

It’ll still be a motherfucker to clear. Peak Iowa weather. Blizzard conditions and cold AF

ITS FUCKING SNOWING AGAIN I remember several years ago where it snowed every day for like 2 weeks straight. Just got to be drudgery. I was in the Colorado mountains during the March 2003 storm. 10 feet in the higher elevations in 8 days. Just relentless. I-70 was impassable from Silverthorne to Denver (even had an avalanche east of the Ike) so the locals had Copper Mountain to themselves. It was awesome.

Ended up with a solid 9" of heavy ass snow from that last storm. Took me 2 hours to clear off a path for both of our cars to get out and I was beat as fuck. Thank God my wife gave me a blowie because I don't think I would have been able to move.
At least this next storm will be less for us, but still cold AF.

Exactly one week ago we were in SoCal. After a day of cruising San Diego bay, we spent last Friday at Orange county beaches (and a tour of SoFi stadium). My pine tree in the back yard has even said Fuck it. I'm through with this shit.

My pine tree in the back yard has even said Fuck it. I'm through with this shit. You moving? I will not move back to the north unless it is for a job that pays a minimum of $1 million per annum (inflation adjusted from 2018). Winter just fucking sucks ass. We get 4-6 weeks of "winter" here but it only snows once every three years or so and it melts within a day. The problem with the Midwest is that when it snows many times the temp will drop 20 degrees or more the next day. Those prolonged cold stretches with weeks' old snow and ice cover is the shit that makes it truly intolerable. It's like Hoth, but worse somehow.

Anybody want to watch Caitlin Clark Saturday? Let me know if you end up going- and if not, what the price is. We might end up going ourselves. From what I hear about roads, they are pretty shit still - but they are digging out after taking the night off. Highways may be fine by the time you would need to leave.

From what I’ve heard the roads are still pretty bad. The DOT had stopped for a bit last night because of the conditions and now have a lot to do to catch up. The Indiana team had delayed flying until today but they are on their way now. My sister is unsure if she’s going to drive over but I think if she doesn’t she will give her tickets to a friend in Iowa city. I’m certainly not driving today. It’s being broadcast on Fox sports and I believe Gus Johnson is going to call it. Should be a good game. Hope the Hawks are hot.

Tried knocking down a bunch of the snow from the roof edge yesterday... didn't do too well. Today it scared the fuck out of me as it went tumbling off. Unfortunately it loosened part & bent part of the gutter... First time the gutters have ever shrugged at anything. So I need to see what I can fix myself vs. hiring a person younger than myself.

Fuck I hate getting on roofs. Couple years ago it didn't bother me a bit really, few months back I tried climbing up to fuck wif our antennae and I just about froze. Heights don't bother me either.
