60 something here too!! Too bad there is still **** all over the roads

No kidding...I've thought about bombing a couple of the road salt stations. They've been ridiculous with that stuff this year!

ProCharger GT · Feb 16, 2006

My parking lot @ work literally has small piles of salt all over the place...that stuff is gonna be here till end of May at least

I know the feeling...

CRZYHRSGT · Feb 16, 2006

I have also had a rather interesting realization with all the salt on the roads...Blizzaks are slick as **** on that stuff. A couple weeks ago I was getting on the freeway, sun was out, roads were completely dry, I came off the ramp and went over a lane. I was doing about 55-60 in 4th gear, gave it 3/4 throttle and the a$$end started coming around!

I could understand all the salt if this winter was like last year with a lot of ice or even a few days of snow, but we haven't had squat! I do think I read in the paper a year or 2 ago that if ODOT or the city don't use a certain amount of resources (aka salt) in a given season then they'll be allocated less the following year. I don't know the validity of the story but it sure sounds like the gov't!

I agree 100%.

They have spread more salt on the roads this year than there has been snow around here.

Why is the Midwest the best? Does the fact that both Jeg's and Summit Racing, 2 of the country's largest speed parts shops, are based in Ohio mean anything?

S&B · Feb 27, 2006

katie couric is sooo hawt, i just want to rusty nail that bi@tch

yes to the jegs/summit thing

Ernad · Feb 27, 2006

to the 73 degree thing

79'293stang · Feb 27, 2006

hes full of crap high of 48 for today and tommorow, nice to dream of 73 though

ProCharger GT · Feb 27, 2006

Damnit...29 today & snow - then the warmest it will get is 46 on Wednesday...and I work and have school all day and night. Damnit!

zincyellow03 · Feb 27, 2006

Suppose to be 55 on wens.

ProCharger GT · Feb 27, 2006

I hate Cleveland. Did I ever mention that?

timeless2 · Feb 28, 2006

Really...it was 68 yesterday. Rode the bike AGAIN. I've already put 300 miles on it in 2006. Woot!

Today it is supposed to break more records. I have a feeling we will get hit with more winter before March is done, though.

Never been to Ohio...

ProCharger GT · Feb 28, 2006

Thats ok, I've never been to Iowa. I talk to people from there sometimes when I do technical support. Cleveland isn't really that bad cept the weather has a tendency to suck in the winter. Plus I just had a really long day yesterday

timeless2 · Feb 28, 2006

I'll bet the wind doesn't blow there like it does here, though.

I do like the amount of sunny days we have, regardless of it being hot or cold. The sun being out helps me feel tons better about the day.

ProCharger GT · Feb 28, 2006

The building I work at is right next to the highway so it can get VERY cold and windy walking in and out of work Prior to my office job, I used to work at Costco..first started off pushing carts ALL DAY, rain/snow/hail didn't matter (although they would wonder why I would sometimes get sick) and the building was right off the freeway as well. worst experience ever was getting knocked out in the parking lot when a guy needed help loading stuff in his truck, then closes the back hatch of a ford expedition ON MY HEAD.

You're over it, so we can laugh about it now.

When I look back now, I realize just how much fun those retail jobs were, no matter how much they seemed to suck at the time.

Ever heard of Jim Brickman?
