The West Sider Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just a friendly reminder to rush to the grocery store to stock up on a month's supply of the following: toilet paper milk bread ketchup squishy meatballs Thank you. PS - Who is the toughest snow shoveler in Broome County? TWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoss Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 2 things: The date is 2014. I will be doing the same thing on my checks until April. According to the Global Warming people, we will not be having these winter storms. Just like there were so many major Hurricanes in 2013 (0). Also, I think you are optimistic. We will need 2 months of supplies to get thru this non event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it, the toughest shoveler in Broome County could potentially pretty busy. When he is done though, he will need to be the toughest pot hole filler in Broome County. By the looks of it, many of the streets in the City of Binghamton look like the surface of the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingoloid Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I feel like I deserve a 1,000 point handicap for growing up in an area about as warm as Virginia and yet shoveling the driveway and scraping the ice without b*tching. You people were born to this fight. I chose it. That makes me the toughest snow shoveler in Broome County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle Festus Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I just drove by and didn't see anything going on I would guess that the reason you "didn't see anything going on", was perhaps because you were either going too fast, or else maybe you were on the wrong street. Like there's more that one Main Street in this area, and there's more than one Front Street, and there's more than one Lake Ave., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrymoeandcurly Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not to get off topic, but when your approaching the split at 17/81 and you are going 81 north, there is a teeth shattering pothole as you cross I believe Chenango St. Jesus Christ, I have hit it twice and it sends my truck sideway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 From the NWS: "Coldest weather expected in at least 3 years." . Cold? This is not going to be cold. The image below...now THAT is cold. I snapped this image just now. Check out their HIGH for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They have a heat wave for Monday at -35F (my iPhone is set for F). This city in Russia has a population of 269,000, so it is not some remote area like the North Pole, it's almost six times the size of Binghamton and has 10,000 more people than Buffalo. The city's AVERAGE high for December is -29.7F. For the year the average high is +25.9F, the daily mean temperature is just 16.2F and that isn't even the worst for a settlement of over 100,000 people. I figure they'd KILL for our high temperature for Thursday and Friday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakutsk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Shoot, I don't have any cash in the house for the kids who knock on my door to shovel. I don't want to go out there again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfMan Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Sorry, my mistake. The context of the quote was from the local NWS. . I did not post that to point out any "mistake" (was there one?), I did it to be funny and also show something that had long amazed me, that a city so large HAS to thrive in such a climate. People have to go to work, transportation (public and private) must be reliable, buildings have to be heated and insulated to a level unthought of here. I just cannot imagine living in such a place, yet a third of a million do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wanker Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I just noticed this a.m. that all the holes in Riverside Dr look twice as deep as they did last week...it's godawful. The potholes in the streets are way worse than normal. I'm taking that as former Mayor Ryan's middle finger to us as he moves out of the city he spent 8 long years improving for everyone. He spent 8 years blaming Bucci and the Feds for every problem he faced and had no solution for. He left Mayor David and us with absolutely atrocious streets, and it's not even the middle of winter. He came to my house campaigning in '08. I should have kicked him in the shins. Jackass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well I did go out to get cash and YAY the kids are shoveling as we speak! So the only question left is, to drive or not to drive and call a taxi? Any word on how the main roads are so far? I hate to be stuck at work without my vehicle and chances are I'll be stuck there all night but it's better than being stuck in the snow somewhere.

Responsible_Adult_Female Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've been listening to the scanners - cars and trucks off the road all over - Route 81 Castle Creek and also Front Street Exit. Route 17 Lounsbery, Route 434 apalachin, and also near the university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
