The 2014-2015 Winter Season Weather Chat Room lol

Post by E_ » Wed Jan 07, 2015 10:14 am

Normally I LOVE snow but I have to admit with the new commute starting this week 75 miles each way I have been crossing fingers to not get any other than on the weekend. lol

Looked like our friends to the north of my area has seen some though in the past few days. This morning it was only a dusting and no issues for me.

E. That is a commute. I thought 50 miles was bad and moved to get it down to 22. Good luck with it!

Post by E_ » Wed Jan 07, 2015 2:02 pm

It thus far seems to allow me to be more calm than the old one that was 23 miles. The new one though 3 times longer in distance actually only takes about 1/8th longer than the other one a lot of the time. And the way I setup my schedule with the new position I am getting home as early and sometimes earlier than before. Just starting the day about 30 minutes earlier in the morning.

...now to find a cheap commuter car.

Glad to hear it is working I know what you mean about the commute time I cut my drive in half and it still takes an hour to get home. gotta love Nashville traffic. not. LOL At least the gas prices are down for a little while can't see them staying down.

Well day 5 of my new commute. Thankfully thus far no slippery situations and definitely thinking I need a small car to save diesel. lol

TheOneAndOnlyROOSTER · Sat Jan 10, 2015 8:31 am

Small car, will it be a GM, Ford or a Dodg?

Are you kidding me!!!!! E, you are a big man like me and there is no way you want to spend 2 hrs a day in a tiny little cavalier! you better start looking for bigger cars like the Impala, Taurus, and Charger!

I can handle it. My legs are short and a lot of the work rentals I get are the same size.

VW TDI, they go 300K plus, and the sticks will get 50 mpg.

Post by E_ » Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:15 am

And the used ones still cost a ton.

..plus they aren't domestic.

Anyone else glad we missed the freezing rain last night? How are our Indy friends?

Post by E_ » Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:53 pm

Spoke too soon on missing it.

Saw some ice but 64 felt pretty good. Noticed a lot of schools from the Lake Area ----> East were closed today though.

Post by E_ » Thu Jan 15, 2015 11:02 am

Snow stayed south thus far today.

Skiff of snow this morning caught me by surprise. Oh well, in Lex today anyway.

Sunset Lady · Post by **Sunset Lady** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 12:56 am

Saw several cars that had slid off the ramp and one overturned SUV this morning. Freezing fog maybe?

TheOneAndOnlyROOSTER · Sat Jan 17, 2015 11:08 pm

What about a Corvette

Post by E_ » Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:41 pm

Didn't see any, I'd love be to have one though.

Find you a gas saver yet 'E'? How's the new job coming along?

The transfer case just went out in my 97 Dodge!

It has 280k on it.
So, if you know where on is located, let me know. Has to late 96 or 97 auto trans. only! Thanks

In the big city of Leesburg snow was between 12 and 16" by last night. Around lunch I shoveled about 8" off the driveway and then another 3 or 4 around 7pm or so. (by the time I was done before I put down the salt there was another 1/8th inch where I started. I would guess about 2" or more were eaten by salt. Now over at the farm where they normally get quite a bit more snow they I think only got about 9" total. Louisville I would guess most places around 5"?

...looks like another 2-5" tonight? At least I will be in Lex tomorrow and not headed to the ville.

Sunset Lady · Post by **Sunset Lady** » Tue Feb 17, 2015 3:33 pm

Louisville officially had 7 inches. At my house we shoveled 8 inches after 3 times shoveling.

Post by E_ » Tue Feb 17, 2015 3:41 pm

Over around St Matthews it doesn't appear to be as bad as your house. Of course they have been seeing that all over the state. My Parents are only 7 miles north of me and got about 6 or 7" less.

Post by E_ » Wed Feb 25, 2015 7:47 pm

1.5" of snow expected for Lake area tonight

It don't look good!! Hope it misses the docks. Griders gas pump dock was still sitting at an angel on Sunday.

This would be better but still a mess.

Here's the latest potential for accumulations as of 11:30am 3/2/15. It is subject & will probably change again as more data comes in. Tom will have the latest on LEX 18 News. Stay Weather Aware

Not sure, did not see anyone there this weekend to ask. I would think that they would have let out enough cable for it to float.
