Get a hotel with a pool and go buy some Shiner.

Do what was suggested above with the beer and the hot tub - except skip the Shiner and pick up some St. Arnold's. You'll thank me for it.

Is this what is in store for us this winter?? Drought followed by a bad winter.

on that note, have you ever seen youtube videos of train snow plows? Those things are awesome.

I have been "stuck" in san Antonio the last 3 months. I have been doing all of the above the last three months.

Hey, you can get Shiner anywhere. You can only get St. Arnold's in Houston and the surrounding area.

Yes please

Can someone explain why the US was doing without weather reports?

[BigJCy]

Anyone recommend an affordable snow removal service in Ames?

I usually shovel the drive but with the amount they are talking about and the drifting I'm leaning towards just paying someone to do it this time.

very cool! I love big snow storms, mostly because when I lived on the farm, they sucked, but we didn't have to go anywhere. As long as it wasn't bitterly cold, it wasn't awful. Pretty much the same in cubeland. My dad talks about the winter of 1978 and having to dig paths for the milkman and other vehicles. Like having a huge wall of snow on either side of the road.

It was during WW2 and the weather reports were censored to keep our enemies from getting any useful knowledge. Like "oh, hey, huge blizzard, so if you were to attack, there'd be no way for us to fight back during this time."

They quit doing that after a hurricane hit Houston in the summer of 1943 that nobody was warned about.
