Nah - the extra weight just provides more momentum when you get to sliding....
Ice wasn't the problem today - it was the blowing snow. Several stretches of road had severe problem. Not at all unusual to be tooling along on bare pavement only to discover that you're hubcap deep in a snowdrift. Several people finally came to a stop other than in the road....
Speaking of snow - on my trip back from Utica Saturday I stopped to get a couple of pictures of an old church I want to build a model of:
And the snowbank in front of it. Remember, I'm using an SLR, and I'm 6'5'':
This is Greenboro, NY, a few miles north of Redfield, famous for the 146" of snow they got a couple weeks ago... Actually, this church is about all that remains of Greenboro.

Well, we've not had the "Slick stuff" like you all, but I have had to grab a few fence
posts and light poles the last several days that I've been out.
NICE Pic. of the Church; That would make a Great Model!!
(If you would like to share the plans, or photos...........!)
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
....That is a massive amount of snow and to be on a building and expect it to continue to stay in place....seems a bit on the ragged edge.
Can understand a little how steep pitch roofs handle most of it but low sloping and flat roofs must really be hanging way out on their luck. 12' of snow is beyond "a lot of snow".

I saw ample evidence of roofs being shovelled, even that day.
....That's really wild stuff....I'd suppose folks that aren't paying attention may get a rude awaking with their roofs coming down to meet them.

Gratefully received!!
Good Tuesday morning to one and all! Larry, those pictures are fantastic!
Coffee is on, and ready to pour, fresh juice is made (oj and orange tangerine), hot milk for hot chocolate, and plenty of hot water for tea, cider and cocoa.
All the regular hot food breakfast items are on the warmer bar, and in the cooler and fridge, you will find some fresh fruit (cantaloupe, grapes, blueberries, apples).
Everyone have a good, safe morning, and I'll see you all after I get through with the Produce Tuesday crowd.
Message From:The Cook
^? Cantaloupe? My favorite! Plus it spears really nicely on a sharp nail painted /////
Dan - Ace has a chair just like mine! It naps really great, too!
Weather much nicer. Watched an mt coal block two crossings for about 35 min. Don't know if they had head end trouble, crew trouble, sleeping trouble or what. It was there when we arrived and didn't leave for 35 more min, so could have been there a lot longer. No one seemed to be all that excited about it except some of the cars that couldn't get to the other side. This is that same area where they are going to redirect at least 1/3 of Lincoln's traffic when they take out a viaduct. I am so anxious for this to happen I can hardly wait. Finally, we will have some news in our burg. "Angry citizens drive over mayor's lawn"...."Citizens form lunch line waiting for sitting trains"...."Computers installed in area to work while waiting for trains"......
Who knows - a whole new subdivision may come out of this - "Live by the Tracks and Join the Train-watching Club!"......
I need a nap!

All right, now: there had better be more people/patrons coming in here this afternoon. Otherwise, this cook will go on strike. I don't cook just for my health, you know.
On the warmer bar, for lunch/dinner, you will find: roast, taters, carrots, beef noodles, fried chicken warmed up from supper last night; and in the cooler, we have: cole slaw, garden salad, Caesar salad, mixed fruit Jell-O, apple, peach and cherry pies, blueberry cobbler, peach cobbler, and pecan pie, along with chocolate cake and yellow cake w/white frosting.
I'll have hot soup, some hot tea, are those rolls still warm?
Noon, and still 3 below. At least the sun is out...
I live about 30 miles north of the heaviest snowfall - we got inches while they got feet....
It's still pretty impressive down in that area - snow is still everywhere (even the tops of power poles that have two crossarms have snow sitting on them), and, as you can see from the pictures, it'll be a long while before it all disappears. If I remember, I'll head down later in the spring and see if I can find some leftovers to share (photographically).
CW - lunch sounds great!
The weather is looking pretty calm over the upcoming days. We're stuck in the 30s today and tomorrow, 40s Thursday through Saturday and possibly into the 60s by Monday. It's going to be nice to feel warm air again!

afternoon

stay safe
joe
Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Joe and Lance, there are two containers in the fridge with your names on them, for you two to take to work tonight. (roast, taters, carrots, etc.)
For everyone else, you'll find roast, taters, carrots, etc. on the warmer bar (well, the salads and desserts are in the cooler, behind the counter).
Everyone enjoy your supper/dinner, and have a good evening. I'm going to go sit in my rocker recliner, and pray that my back starts to feel better. Must have pulled a muscle yesterday, doing laundry, and carrying laundry basket upstairs. Cause it's been bothering me all day. I may even have Mutt get the heating pad out, and plug it in for me.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
CW - I hope your back starts feeling better soon! My mom often has some back pain and from what she says, I know it's not pleasant.
Time to study for a geometry quiz that I have tomorrow, and then it will be off to bed. It has already been a long week and it's only Tuesday evening.
I'll take some of that dinner. It sounds good after a long day at school and sports practice. I should be in here more often now that my Calculus test is over. I guess all that time away from the diner was worth it though because I got a 95% on the test, but I missed all you guys. Good luck on that geometry quiz Willy.
Hope your back feels better CW.
Willy and Emma, thank you both, for your well wishes. Hopefully, my back will soon be better. As long as I watch how I sit, stand, and walk, it doesn't hurt too much. But let me forget, and move a certain way, and I'm saying "ouch, ouch, ouch".
Cannonball and Shirley, it's good to see you could come by for a few, and pick up something for your supper. Know you are both glad to be back home for awhile!
Dan; and others that are "Owned" by animals; this is what happens when they Don't want to Listen to their "Humans"!!
(especially when they're on or near a pile of freshly washed clothes!)
Boy it get's lonesome in here at this time at night the coffee is on think god for that
Good Wednesday morning! Time for all us sleepy heads to WAKE UP!!
On the warmer bar, you will find: sausage, turkey bacon and pancakes (flapjacks, hotcakes, whichever you prefer to call them), and in the cooler, you will find cantaloupe chunks and sliced tomatoes.
So far this morning (and I haven't been up but about 1/2 hour), my back is feeling better this morning. Let's all hope it stays that way.
Everyone have a great day, and if there are any special requests for lunch, let me know, please.
Good morning ill have pancakes, eggs,bacn and some cantaloupe
