anybody got a road report?

1/10/2011 9:24:35 PM

Just drove home from Saucer about 35 minutes ago and it was fine -- but sleeting/icing now so it'll degrade quickly.

1/10/2011 9:25:53 PM

SLEET
SLEET
MUTHAFUCKAAA

1/10/2011 9:26:54 PM

i wasn't out in it today, but it didn't seem like they were doing as much "brine-ing" as they did last time

1/10/2011 9:27:12 PM

its gotten pretty slick out there in the last 20 mins or so

1/10/2011 9:28:22 PM

BEWARE THE HYPEOPOLIS!!!



Biggest let down ever.

1/10/2011 9:29:59 PM

1/10/2011 9:30:27 PM

1/10/2011 9:32:48 PM

i never knew what that "anti-alias" checkbox meant ... never used it

so what r u talkin bout

1/10/2011 9:34:15 PM

been sleeting at my house for awhile

booooring

now it is snowing but just the microscopic flakes. 1 or 2 big fluffies every now and then, but mostly just blah

UGH

f youuuu i wanted to sled tomorrow/snowboard down my driveway NOT study.

1/10/2011 9:35:06 PM

^ sledding on ice is faster.

1/10/2011 9:42:46 PM

this is a new non-caloric, silicone-based kitchen lubricant my company has been working on

1/10/2011 9:45:05 PM

^^ true. but will it ice enough to sled?

with my sled you almost need a little ice to use it. or a SHITLOAD of snow

we shall see

1/10/2011 9:47:07 PM

Is it safe for the children though?

1/10/2011 9:47:33 PM

maybe you're just a bit too hefty

just sayin'

1/10/2011 9:48:04 PM

freezing rain just started here

1/10/2011 10:10:35 PM

heard from a couple folks already that roads are already pretty bad

1/10/2011 10:14:23 PM

A guy I work with left at 9 and said the roads were shit.

1/10/2011 10:17:17 PM

i did almost slip and fall when i went out to the freezer at like 8:30

1/10/2011 10:28:59 PM

slipped, fell, landed on his dick

1/10/2011 10:30:58 PM

roads are definitely getting icy. just got home

1/10/2011 10:32:50 PM

1/10/2011 10:37:14 PM

Roads are turrible right now. And anyone who didn't lift up their windshield wipers (ie everyone in my complex) will be a sad panda tomorrow morning.

1/10/2011 10:37:19 PM

if i wasn't already warm in bed without pants on i would totally go outside and put mine up

but i am so.... fuck it

1/10/2011 10:39:22 PM

1/10/2011 10:41:09 PM

The problem is the wipers becoming frozen onto the glass after a few minutes the heat from your car should take care of.it.

1/10/2011 10:44:34 PM

good call on the windshield wipers... my buddy stripped the gears in his one year by trying to turn them on when they were frozen...

1/10/2011 10:45:05 PM

you can't fix stupid

1/10/2011 10:46:39 PM

my stupid wipers are spring loaded

not only does it make it a pain (not really but more so than not) to change the blades, but I can't put them up in situations like this to prevent them from freezing

1/10/2011 10:47:12 PM

That blows

1/10/2011 10:51:19 PM

cody just went outside. he said my wipers are under like 1/2"

1/10/2011 10:52:48 PM

if he loved you he would dig them out

because warming up the car, using the defrost, 10 minutes before you need to drive it (you know, so it's warm) doesn't work?

because it always has for me

1/10/2011 11:08:57 PM

did you miss that big ass post about how you are not supposed to idle you car to "warm it up"

1/10/2011 11:12:06 PM

plus it takes longer than 10 minutes to defrost your blades out of 2 inches of ice

1/10/2011 11:13:53 PM

imma work from home again tomorrow... one less southern driver on the road

and so i don't have to worry about thawing my car out at 7am. hate doing that. i hate snow/ice. boo.

1/10/2011 11:15:26 PM

the wipers on the escalade won't stay up. and joie's are frozen solid already.

1/10/2011 11:16:08 PM

good thing i dont have to be at work til 10

1/10/2011 11:16:19 PM

^^ its a GM thing. My suburban did it, and my truck does it to (see above) no wonder they went under and needed a bail out

1/10/2011 11:26:32 PM

i was really hoping i wouldn't have to work tommorow

1/10/2011 11:27:14 PM

<----working from home tomorrow.

Why inconvenience yourself over the 10 seconds of effort it takes to stand up your wiper blades? It just doesn't make any sense unless you think your car will then become a target for vandalism.
