With snow emergencies it is very imprtant to have a place to keep your vehicle off the street for plowing or it gets towed.

There is a complicated set of rules for how you can park on night plow routes, north, south, east, west, along with what side of streets and in what order for plowing.

It is very advantagous to have off street parking!

All most all the houses here have driveways off the street except for some of the older areas that only have 33 foot wide lots. Most houses you can put 2 to 4 cars in their driveways. I can put 4 cars on my driveway before you get to my old garage. They have restricted parking on streets here too depending on the season. It's mostly odd days and even days parking to aid snowplowing. The city plows the sidewalk here too but a lot of cities don't do that.

Looks like a couple new inches of snow last night. And more to come over the next 48 hours. And its my Friday. Bummer. I was boping to miss having to work in it this time. Oh well. Time to break out the snow boots again.

Negitive 1 F. I dont wanna get out of my warm truck.

Couple inches of snow and most of the UK comes to a halt...

LOL, I remember well.

I remember 2 inches when I lived there and people were sleeping in their cars on the M1.

I was a train driver for Virgin in Euston, I went to Preston, Birmingham or Wolverhampton depending on my roster. I remember that same 2 inch occasion, we had a few days off because the points froze and no trains were running on the West Coast Main line (mine).

Of course all the points (switches) over here in North America in the cold parts are heated.

It warmed up to 11f today. Damn cold weather!
TGIF for me anyways.

Well it's been in the lower 50's here so I've got some time on the bike, but I awoke to snow it's just a skiff but it's damn disheartening.

The night of the 22nd, my last post on this thread it got down to 14 below not counting windchill. Today it is up to 18 and tomorrow will get us up to 31. Still below freezing but its getting warmer a little bit at a time for the next week. At these temps it almost hurts to go outside.
