Comments on: When Snow Hurts, It Sure Hurts http://www.thomasso.com/2009/12/14/when-snow-hurts-it-sure-hurts/ Life in Fort Langley, BC, Canada (near Vancouver) Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:09:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Radam http://www.thomasso.com/2009/12/14/when-snow-hurts-it-sure-hurts/comment-page-1/#comment-23488 Radam Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:50:01 +0000 http://www.thomasso.com/?p=2401#comment-23488 3 word... smile and nod! :roll: Actually I do enjoy the not having to shovel, but with months on end of cloudiness, the SADS gets to me a bit. At least back home you can see a clear blue sky with the sun beating on your face as you gaze at your breath. ;-) 3 word… smile and nod! :roll:

It's a frick'n plague around here with that. For the past two days not one of them answers the phones until 10:00am - when they finally arrive at work. :roll: Ontario Boy - you are in the most (tropical) temperate part of Canada. Enjoy it. Sure the rain is a little much sometimes, but if you don't have to shovel it, then that is a good thing in my books. I just wish people would at least switch from their summer wheels to all-seasons!

LUXURY! :shock: Ya, I wouldn't know too much about the ice thing... my townhome has a garage... ;-) Actually I had to rent a uhaul van this morning to go pickup my new kitchen island... she was iced over pretty good. No match for Ontario boy though! :mrgreen: Glad to hear you can put off the blocks in your bed for a couple o' more days. Regarding your co-workers... hee hee, wimps! I just can't wait until we get a lot more snow so I can do the requisite annual doughnuts in the parking lot... Parking brakes are our friends! :mrgreen: Ploughed roads…. LUXURY! :shock:

It was one of the best commutes I had in weeks becuase everyone stayed home. But I did have an issue with ice covering everything. Chipping out the truck took a few minutes. Other than that, the weight of the ice gave me lots of traction on the roads, and Langley City ploughed their roads this time - that was nice of them. ;-) Heh heh., Well, hindsight being 20/20, yeah, this was nothing, but what is real funny is how many people who didn’t bother to come to work, or were late today, blaming it on the weather.
