We don't get much in the form of winter weather here in the Atlanta area and we were caught totaly off guard by some snow last night. You northern folks would laugh at what we got but everything north of Atlanta ia pretty well shut down. I have to run 18 miles of I75 north of Atlanta to get to work up here in Cartersville. 16 miles of that the left lane was glare ice and was getting worse the farther north I drove. The main road from my hood to I 75 had busted tail lights about ever 300-400 feet from all the wrecks this morning. You could see where all the cars had spun off the road all the way to work. The off ramp had a Ford in the ditch onto of a twin post street sign. Semi was stuck on the ramp and count' get traction even with the wheels coupled. Listend to the CB on the way in and the truckers werre saying it was real bad north of where I work.
Wind chils near 0 this morning and supose to be worse tomorrow. They say the low will be about 9 deg F where I live tomorrow morning. Schools closed today and they may be close tomorrow because of the temps and wind chills. Started my day by having to air up the tires on old Dollar, Cardbording the grills of both K5's in case my wife needs to go somewhere. Hit the parts stroe and bought 5 bottle of line dry and I hope to god the wife's 79 has not froze the lines. I dumped the stuff in but didn't start it. Had to fill the tank. My tranny temp gage with alost the whole grill blocked never even registered (it reads down to 140). Engine temp never even came close to the first mark! MAN I HATE COLD!
Got to work and none of the sales people have made it here. They almost all live north of here in Rome GA. It's worse that way and a 20 mile strech of 4 lane between us that people say still has not had a spreader run over it. Customer here said it took almost an hour to get there and he only lives about 10 miles away. Just me and the boss are the only ones here and had about 4 customers all morning. All customers that didn't pay their bills and their Cell phones were cut off yesterday LOL.
Cool thing is as long as I stay here 4 hours that I get paid for the whole day. I plan on leaving at 4pm if we stay open that long. Nobody to run the place so the boss may just lock up. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
