I was reading about the weather back East and wondered how Tree and Jackie were doing and know I know. I asked our new chief about the war food and he sorta rolled his eyes at me and then I said, well it is winter too. That got his attention and he plans on discussing it at his weekly EOC meeting this week. But no only has there been snow in the East, one on line news story said an apartment building outside of Knoxville, TN was damaged by a mud slide (Kim K were you working?) and somewhere in Florida was a tornado. Like JW said, we're hurting for snow in the Denver area. I'm just a little way west of Denver in the foothills. January I measured 2 inches of snow fall and so far this month, 31 inches thanks to a 16 inch storm. My best wishes to all the dispatchers having to deal with extra ordinary weather.

Three months ago I would have been there. Now it's 19 degrees outside and I am looking out over a total white winter wonderland from my third floor apartment in upper Northwest Washington. We got just under 2 feet of snow, 2 of the 3 area airports have been closed all day, and 3 new employees who were to report to me first thing Monday morning for their security in-briefing have been told to forget Monday and we'll try for Tuesday. I don't even want to think about trying to dig out our POVs tomorrow. Most snow I've seen since the snow storm of Veteran's Day 1987 when the DC area forecasters said yes, there would be snow, but not even enough to even sweep off your sidewalk. It started snowing and didn't stop until we had a foot of the stuff on the ground. It sure looked pretty coming down today, though. -jackie Jackie McElroy Washington, D.C. http://www.mcjackie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even turned around and went back to make certain it wasn't really a small car that ran off the road and gotten covered by the snow. I picture them as being kind of like snow-made tumbleweeds. -jackie Jackie McElroy Washington, D.C. http://www.mcjackie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Here in Lynchburg I think we would be happier if it was just snow. We were lucky and got a good 2 inches of ice under what ever it is that's falling. Been listening to my squad radio and haven't had very many accidents. I think most people are just staying home like they should for a change. Not many places to go. even the mall closed yesterday.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Not only do they lock their keys in running vehicles while warming them up... they get stolen.. on cold mornings we can see up to 4 vehicles stolen that way....DUH.... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Responding 2 days later and a victim of the snow myself. My foot slipped off a step trying to shovel my stoop on Sunday. Friend in a Jeep finally came and took me to the ER about 24 hours later when the swelling and pain wouldn't go down. Verdict? A 2nd degree right ankle strain. I'm in a cast and on crutches. Dumb neighbors won't help out by clearing my sidewalk and one of them told me to send my kids out to do it! My kids are 9,9, 8 and 5 and there's about 6 inches of packed ice and snow on my short sidewalk (I live in a townhouse). They won't help us, but they piled 5 ft of snow in front of my van shoveling their vehicles out - meaning it will be April before we can get out of here. Hubby, who's disabled and has COPD, has what we think is strep with a very high fever. Doctor called an antibiotic in and a dear friend was kind enough to retrieve it for me. Praying I don't need to call work to get a medic to take him to the ER. We live in Prince County, VA and received around 16 inches of snow and sleet. I'm taking my 2 days shifts off, but starting Thursday they'll come get me for my 2 night shifts. As for stolen cars.... I took one not too long ago. Panicky person who'd only gone back inside for a minute and saw it heading down the street when she came back out. Five minutes later I took another one in the same neighborhood. Nicer car. Sure enough, when the police got there, they found the 1st car on the street still running with the keys in it....... I think leaving your car running unlocked and unattended has got to be one of the stupidest things one can do. Debbie Woodbridge, VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
