Holy Sh*t!!! It's Snowing In Austin!!!!! O/t

Mike,
they just showed pictures of kids sledding down that hill on cardboxes on the news...seriously!

 

Stinky, here is a way that ya can keep yer ass warm and free...just go down to the local GreyHound terminal and stay behind the exhaust all night. Ya might have to move around alot for when the busses take off on ya. KNUX!

 

Dude! I didn't know you were on the HAMB now! I saw you on TV last night. You looked H-O-T
Thanks for helping out there and don't forget the little people now that you're a TV star.

I remember living in Toronto, Canada and the year was 1977. Worst storm that I ever lived in growing up there. 10-14+ snow drifts. The way the wind blew it, over night it had us trapped in the house. We had to call the fire dept to dig us out, all the neighbours too. It got up to about -40 with the wind chill facture, No shit! That was a cold winter! KNUX!

 

Global warming my ass. Its all cause of you fukcers with cars with no emmissions controls that the world is all fucked up temperature wise. Im calling my fucking congressman and try to get laws for cats and smog shit on all hot rods!

Shit I remember that!!!! We went around shovelling roofs....shovel one for $200.00 and go spend it in the bar,do another and back to the bar! You get my drift...snow drift that is....

 

This is what happens when a city with 300+ days of sun every year wants to stay home from school. We pull out all the stops and play bumper cars.

 

Shit they shut down San Antonio Toooo and we aint even had any snow yet
lol
stupid texans
j/k

but i had a really cool pic of ice sickles hangin off my front torque thrust w/ wide whitewall
but was too lazy to go get camera outta tool box in garage
maybe tomarrow
lol

 

Hey you could send that snow up here to New England. We have ski slopes on the verge of bankrupcy due to lack of snow.

It was 5 degrees when I got up this morning but I still haven't shoveled once this winter.

Dead birds, snow.......what's next?

 

Yeah, the Blizzard of '77™... The White Death™... I still walked to school in that fucker before I found out that school was closed, along with the rest of the city. I wasn't a very bright kid.

Now the blizzard of '82 or '83 (no ™ ) was a horse of a different colour. I got snowed in at a strip joint. Me and 1 wingman, 8 or 10 strippers and a bartender. Friggin' Penthouse never printed my letter.

 

I know I can drive and work in this stuff. the only thing that worries me is either the dude from across the border with the dually that can't drive in this stuff, or the guy from up the street with a dually that is convinced that somehow, his extra 2 wheels make it okay for him to do 60 in this shit.

I don't fear the Ice...I fear the people who don't respect it.

 

It is the same here in Los Angeles when the 1st rain hits. The surface still has the oil from all the cars and the rain mixes with it.....still drive 75-80 on the frwy and then all hell breaks loose! KNUX!

 

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!! Being snowed in with a bunch of strippers? That would be worth being snowed in for. KNUX!

 

We got an Ice storm here on the north side of houston too. I saw 5 cars on the side of the road on my way to Huntsville this morning. All were from north of the Red River. Whats up? Is our ice differant from that up north? TP

 

Yes, actually it is. We get ice, they get snow. You have some traction on 6" of compacted snow. You have next to zero traction on a clear sheet of ice like we get here.

 

You might not have any idea what it's like. This year is not the one to compare weather though.
Greeting from just south of the Great White North!

 

Ice Ice Baby......

 

Hey Tejas guys, do me a favor and go out in yer garages and turn a wrench...
and then think about us northerners these 3-5 chilly months out of the year! (at least the ones w/o heated garages!)

 

That's funny, I'll keep you in mind next week when it's 75 degrees and I'm pulling the Coupe out the garage!!

 

Next week!
how's about saturday!

 

Ka-zoo is right though you guys get out there and wrench you will have new respect for the yanks.

I now know something is really wrong with the weather. Last weekend we had very cold temps as in the condensation coming down from the roof of my shop froze almost instantly when it hit any part of the A.

I had enough of sliding around in the ice inside of my shop so I left and to my surprise it was RAINING outside!!!!! Colder than a well diggers ass in waist high water in January and its raining out. So that made for a fun drive back into town.

Here in Iowa they say if you don't like the weather move a block. We get 100 and humid and slide down to -15 before the wind chill hits it.

 

HMM the fountains in Vegas froze over Sunday night, and it was 15 f here in Juarez monday.

Hell might actually be freezing over.

Oh and fatty, Iowa had suck ass weather all the way to KC Sunday. I think at one point I coul only see about 50 feet in front of me.

 

Yeah..I was gonna go into Oak Hill for some coffee, but the ice holding my doors shut is an inch thick! have you found a blower for your flathead yet?....Rick

 

Everything was shut down here in San Antonio yesterday and today. We get even less freezing weather than Austin, so the drivers are scary here when it happens.

I'm from here, and even I think it is funny when the local stations are running 12 straight hours of weather updates, and referring to it as the "Arctic Blast." This was when it was 30 or 31 degrees out.

The reason most of us in Austin are freaking out about a tiny bit of snow/sleet/ice/freezing rain/plague of frogs etc. is that some of us live our lives fast and recklessly, and we live in a hot climate most of the year in preparation for Hell....and that's how we like it, if we wanted to freeze...we'd move

But now it is cold here......damn

Well that is what liquor is for!

Here is a pic of the ol "black pearl" under an inch of ice.

 

four of them / 371/471/ 671/ 453 ? I think I will stack them ! hahahaa ? I still want a whipple .

 

we had a plage of frog`s ? Mmmmm.frog liquor !!!!!!! watch out for all the ice that`s gona be flying off roof`s when it start`s to melt

 

i got the entire sheet of ice off my hood in one piece...but it broke before the wife got the camera, 2.5 inches thick at its thickest point. but at its thinnest 1.25 thick.

Here is a pic from the frog plague (or toad):

 

Is Stinky frozen yet out there in Austin? Man he is gonna stink when he thaws out. KNUX!
