The (official) WTF is with the weather thread

My current contract is up in May and I'll be looking for the next gig. Hoping for northern Cali, Colorado, Washington maybe Oregon?

Who knows..

Love how the weather station notes "light snow" in Syracuse, yet it hasn't stopped in 24 hours. Also the temp in the teens is reducing the efficacy of the salt on the roads. Mini-blizzard it is

Don't have the temps like gweeps though, shit

Damn that blows. I knew some weather came through last week, just didnt realize it was a blizzard.

I heard a loud pop last night, thought it was a pipe. Glad I had a sink with a slow leak going. Not sure what the pop was, but it wasnt a pipe.

yeah, I had a tech out the other night at a Condo complex and he got done a call at one condo and was walking out the garage when the pipe burst above his head and starting gushing water out of the light, the molding and all the soffits...

Damn, thank god for insurance.

The main problem here is that a lot of homes are up on pilings (since most of our work is on the barrier islands), and the water main runs up through a closet or something on the ground level, and there is no insulation or anything to protect those lines from freezing up...

Silly warm-weather-people-problems. Just another standard, miserable winter where I'm from

[Jonas]

Wow how is it possible? Got home to fucking burst pipes in the garage.

[Fan#41]

Yeah, it's been a solid -20 with the wind-chill here at night.

Loving all of the youtube experiments in the cold.

My brother hauled his wrecked car to my dad's place today. The door is fucked so he had to get out nascar style through the window. Watching him plant one foot on the ice, transfer his weight, and subsequently falling face first on the ice was one hell of a youtube video i missed out on, too

I'll tell you what, I've been in Florida for 15 years, and I'll never get used to heat and the "hot" of this area. Luckily we have this a few hours away: The Rainbow River. It is amazing, always cool at 73 and it's the freshest water you'll ever drink compared to a mountain sourced spring.

Thanks to you I will be taking a Bro-cation and renting a cabin down there this spring. Looks amazing.
