ot Winter wonderland

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Got to sleep late today woke up looked out and had 2" of snow. (For those that dont know the south shuts down after .5")

[crazy^millman]

Unless it is Jacksonville they shut down after it is metioned it might snow.

[L Hanft]

Move to Iowa, our DOT may not be the best at getting the stuff off the roads... but everyone learns to drive through or on top of the snow. Heck it can snow here just about any month of the year! Maybe a few tornadoes too, January 1967 there were 23 tornadoes one day.... unusual in the winter but still happened. Expecting 3" of snow this afternoon-evening, followed by 5-7 tomorrow, and a couple more Monday night into Tuesday morning. I'm actually looking forward to the snow. Cold black/gray/brown ground isn't too pretty. The snow adds a little beauty and adds moisture to our parched soil... the eventual mud is a lot better than dust and it'll put some water back into the lakes and rivers for spring fishing!

 

Making the snow blower earn its keep!

[JAMMAN]

While I lived in SC the threat of snow would send all the towns women to the local Bi-Lo or Ingles to xxxx up every loaf of bread and every gallon of milk for miles.

 

 

What do they plan on doing with it....milk sandwiches?

[Harryman]

A good snowball day is a bummer of a time to be Barefoot.

[Art Vandeley]

I live in Ontario and have about 36" of snow in my yard but life seems to go on as usual. I think we got 2" in late september.

[Matthew]

Art, you're not a fan of Seinfeld are you?

 

oops, sorry to hi-jack!

My mom is from the mountains down here, which everybody can see. My Dad is from Detroit. 3guesses where I was born. Detroit. Lived there till 7-8. Remember snow bluffs up to roof.

 

Before all ya'll get to thinkin "Jimmy is yankee scum?" Recall the wise words of PBpaul "If a cat has kittens in the oven you dont callem biscits!"

Jimmy,

 

We're trying to get replacement parts rushed up here to Wisconsin from Okuma in Charlotte NC and they are shutdown....can't even get prices. Local rep say's ... "Sorry"

 

Oh well....

[chris m]

You'd think with all the 4X4s you hillbillies have this wouldn't be a problem...

[Hacsta]

we got about 4 inches hear in new jersey and 1/3 of the wimps didnt come in i guess its nice to be rich$$$$$$

Thats because it is .5" of solid ICE.

It never snows here. Only sleet.....I am still waiting on this years freeze....I think it got down in the 30's for a couple days a few weeks ago. Bout 75 outside right now.

 

I wish it WOULD snow here.....kill some of the bugs....

 

Hey Jimmy, got your studded tires on?

When I lived in NC everyone had 2 sets of tires.

I always wondered what all those holes in the tread were for

LMAO....

 

I think the Patriots just wanted you southern boys to experience the north before the game.... Welcome to winter fellers...

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Chris and Paul,

 

4 x 4's are a status symbol down here, Heck I have 2 of em. I have seen alot of them stuck in the middle of road in 3" of snow. On the same note, in michigan I've seen people in pintos zooming along 60mph in 4" of snow.

 

I like to riding up in the mountains in the snow if I dont have to work(yeah right). I think the snow is better driving than the red clay mud we have down here.

 

Paul,

Where were all the patriot fans at when they were leaving out? I think they were scared to show their faces in public maybe.

[chris m]

No Jimmy; just that we've actually been to the playoffs before so we don't get as wound as you guys

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Speaking of Okuma's Service and snow in the same sentence...

Dang! CHris is in rare form today. Pulling out all the stops. Next thing you know,he'll be talking about belt buckles as ID badges!

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Chris,

 

Down here we'll shut the town down and have a festival for almost any reason, like say friday or ground hog day.

 

Thats cause we dont get excited bout to much down here.

 

Also if I were ya'll I wouldn't be excited bout sending my team of to lose to a team that was 1 and 15 2 years ago.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Chris,

I am but a humble Mc reseller. Oh I know you guys see the 2 4 x 4's and think I'm well off, but that is not the case.

 

If the patriots win then you'll get the chance to say you were right (which is probably a thrill) and I'll admit that I was wrong(Katie will tell you how rare that is)

 

Other than that I would just like to see them win.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

O another note. I'm sitting looking out the front window at my neighbor ride up the road, then back down the road after not making it up the hill. He has done this no less than 30 times today. When I came in a little bit ago I found out, much to my surprise, that he has very effectivly polished the ice on the road. Gonna be a pain in the morning.
