Guest tbutera2112 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 went to go to work, fuck that 1/2" thick ice over EVERYTHING 15minutes of scraping and i finally cleared half my windshield....the wiper blades were completely covered in ice i couldnt even see them *the hood cowl was filled completely, where the wipes sit*... 20 minutes later (freezing rain, and i had shorts on since its warm where i work) and busting my ass once and i decided going to work today isnt worth destroying a truck and fubaring myself on the roads...is it spring yet?

V8 Beast Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Is it still coming down? Yeah, its pretty crazy. Its probably going to rain until like 2pm. I walked down my driveway and barely made it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wow, that was fun. Went out to check it out and get some scraped off before heading for home at 8. Some spots had over 1" of ice. Drive home will be a good time this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 6 A.M. UPDATE: Mayor Michael Coleman is asking all non-essential City of Columbus employees to NOT report to work until 11 a.m. Essential workers should come in at their normal time. Freezing rain continues to fall in downtown Delaware. According to NBC 4‘s Tom Brockman, it has been falling ever since he arrived at 3.45 a.m. The combination of freezing rain, slush and freezing temperatures are making for slippery conditions. Franklin County is under a level 2 snow emergency. During level 2 or 3 emergencies in the county, COTA provides free fares. 5:45 A.M. UPDATE: According to Mary Carran Webster with the City of Columbus, the roadways throughout the city are not in good shape and are considered hazardous. The city has 54 trucks out spreading salt on major roadways, bridges, ramps and overpasses, and plowing where possible. Crews are spreading a mixture of salt and sand on secondary roads. The salt is for melting; the sand should provide some traction on the ice. City drivers are reporting 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice on the roads. Officials advised that if residents need to venture out Wednesday morning that they use extra caution on bridges, ramps and overpasses.

Putty Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 6:27am UPDATE! I officially called off. Went out and 2" of ice all over car. I could barley walk. Ice is covering everything. Appears too dangerous. This is the time of year I wished I used my garage for cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 People with vaginas too scared to drive in This is what winter beaters are for! I had more of a problem tanking by the dumb asses going 15mph than I did scraping some ice off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It must be a lot worse south of Westerville, because I'm on the north end of Dublin and there's not very much ice on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
