It's been snowing almost steadily around the Boise area since I first posted this poll & temperatures have warmed up some with the highs around 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

The commutes yesterday and this morning have been awful with slide offs and wrecks blocking the freeway... the snow has been compacting some because of a little rain and above freezing weather, but there's still around nine inches of accumulation at my house, with the drifts being much deeper (of course).

Status: offline 		Okay now I am sick of this cold!  It is ruining everything!  First the frozen pipes we worked out... now everything is plugged up and I am wondering if the pipes going out can freeze up.  I am seriously in some shitty trouble here!  What the hell was I thinking I could get a few months down the line before any real trouble.  I didn't account for winter and slow payments! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Status: offline 		Running water in a mobile home like everyone has told me for years is a very bad thing!  Had I flushed the sewer with full blast running water or a bathtub filled and released all at once, it wouldn't have frozen.  A trickle or just a lil bit freezes!  Now my sewer line is totally frozen from what they tell me and I am waiting for another guy to see how much it would cost to take apart and fix or for warmer whether and sunshine.  This could be a long haul camping trip here... only there aren't any bushes to hide my behind and I am sure 'some' of the neighbors wouldn't like that much. lol  You learn something every day... but I am sure I could find something more interesting to learn!

Hang in there Holly!  Once again... we have something in common! lol

However.... *sigh*
This morning it was back to it's usual non-functional self.

We're getting hammered here today (by local standards). It's a good thing I don't have to go anywhere! Last week's commute was horrible, for the most part, and people were delayed at airports all around the Pacific Northwest, including a friend of mine who was stuck in Portland for days. The freeway has been closed around the Utah line off and on all week too, and there are avalanche warning in the mountains just to the North of me here.

But the skiing is great, and the snow pack is helping alleviate our drought. There is a ski area just barely above Boise I need to head up to soon with my UM. Neither of us ski, but the tubing there is great fun. It makes me feel like I'm a kid myself again!

Well I did it. I just purchased advance tickets for the "Gold Rush" tubing hill at the Bogus Basin ski resort (right above Boise) for the 6:00 - 8:00 session tonight.

Now I have to find or buy enough cold weather gear for windy 17 degree (Fahrenheit) weather, and decide whether or not I need to buy chains for the car in order to get up there...

That mountain's always a blast. Woo hoo!

That was pretty good. This thread made it to 96 posts before anyone mentioned "Global Warming".
