Title: This is what we're doing!
Post by: ohcheap1 on January 05, 2014, 09:52:46 PM: BREAKING: Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard has issued a travel warning for the city of Indianapolis. It is now illegal for any non-emergency vehicles to be on the road, except for those people seeking shelter. Mayor Ballard will be in studio on Eyewitness News during tonight's winter storm coverage until midnight.

It'll help that you are under 4 feet of snow, too.

That's what I like to call "head height".

This is my cousins house just to give you an idea. In my neighborhood the power is maintaining and we are SO greatful for that. Many areas of Indianapolis are without power.

When many were buying bread, eggs, and milk, I added Vodka and doing just fine thank you.

Post by: ohcheap1 on January 07, 2014, 08:34:15 AM: 5AM update: We have a heated garage but apparently not heated enough. Pipes have frozen, no water. We have an add-on plumbing coverage so I called to report it and what do you know? They wont come out until AFTER the pipes have burst!!!! Doesnt make much sense to me but I guess their paying $3000 (covered/no co-pay) for new pipes in the garage will work.

I have never bought a lottery ticket. Maybe I should consider it.

Post by: smokester on January 07, 2014, 01:08:23 PM: Your weather was one of the main features on our news this evening, especially the plight of the homeless.

Is it true that 26 states are affected by this polar vortex?
Title: Re: This is what we're doing!
Post by: ohcheap1 on January 07, 2014, 02:28:48 PM: 4:23. Plumber came and was here for 20min. Water is running and I am down $380!! Thats some serious gouging but what are you gonna do? Well besides sit out in the garage with a blow dryer WHICH is absolutely what Im going to do if it ever happens again.

Im not sure about the 26 state figure but I do know that in most larger cities every church and school has opened it doors to people who have lost heat, power, water, or are homeless. Community is definitely coming together.

Post by: 6pairsofshoes on January 08, 2014, 08:35:00 PM: It's been chilly here, but it's hard to complain when everyone else is dealing with blizzards and subzero temps.

It's pretty, and it will help with the aquifers. We're having a drought here.

Post by: ohcheap1 on January 09, 2014, 08:17:17 PM: 8ullfrog, I/we can always count on you to bring it down alittle bit further. My suicide pact would be complete with your mind set. Maybe thats best. Lol. Weird thing is the ice on the roads was so thick that salt wouldnt help to deplete. NOW its warming up, more snowfall, but tomorrow its supposed to get up to 42. Wow..... I love my state but this is crazy poo.
