Weather WTF

Shoveled your driveway? How plebian.

Dude, I refuse to get a snow blower.  Most years I wouldn't need to use it once.

Helots.

And I just checked, up to 3 more inches tonight. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If we live to see it, that is, what with this negative degrees shit going on for weeks at a time...

Pipes froze again.  This time it's the hot water (last time it was the cold water).  I finally threw in the towel and got the ladder and went up into my attic (I've never been up there before. ) So it turns out I have exposed, un-insulated pipes running along the floor of the attic and mainly just loose insulation up there.  The pipes are PVC, which is good, I think, as opposed to copper.

Also, I do have a trickle of "hot" (it's actually frigid right now) water out of some of my upstairs hot faucets, so I guess that's a good thing.

Anyway, I think we should start dropping nuclear bombs on the North Pole or something.  Maybe if we destroy it we can destroy the cold.

Time to buy insulation for your pipes.

or alternatively totally change the air flow of your house to heat your attic.

I'd go with pipes insulation.

WTF?! There could have been bodies up there! Or treasure! Or a scared girl hiding from the nazi!

In your giant driveway? How long did that take you?

Like an hour and a half.

That's not too bad. Takes me 2h to clean around my house with snow blower when we get 5+inches.

I envy you guys your weather - we have a return to above-freezing temperatures this weekend.

It just aint natural I tells ya - not in Edmonton in January. *shakes fist*

Yeah.  The problem is my ladder isn't quite high enough for me to safely get completely into the attic.  So I'm probably going to make a run to Home Depot to get a taller ladder and pipe insulation.

I actually saw an article someplace that the severe cold might cause a massive die-off of the emerald ash borer.

No indoor access? Never seen that around here.
