  Comments and Quotes  

I could use a little snow! If its going to be this cold out it could at least be pretty! - Anna Method - 23


We have had ice / snow/ slush and expect more snow. The way the roads are dealt with around here is to wait for it to melt. Not going to happen before tomorrow. Messy roads just refreeze and get even worse after a storm until completely melted and dry. This happens so seldom here that it is not worth the investment to have enough machines to handle secondary roads .... we just shut down. - Doreen Lawrence - 5
