tim2x Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 7 Dec 2006, 17:29 · [Salvaged from Archive] I'm not happy. Very unhappy. 6:26 pm eastern and we have almost 20 cm of snow. They are calling for another 20 by tomorrow night. I thought we agreed you were going to keep this stuff in BC so I could ride my bike this Christmas.... Also, one of the most advanced hospitals in North America, for both patient care, and research, UH hospital on Western campus, fell victim to an ancient heating system and they have to evacuate 500 students, and close to 300 patients that have been without heat for almost 10 hours now...now THAT is funny

Josh85 Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 7 Dec 2006, 22:56 · [Salvaged from Archive] At least you can sleep when it's cold. Last night and the night before I was forced to work back late until like, 2-3am. Plus I had to get up yesterday after only like 1hr or sleep to go to work AGAIN even though I wasn't supposed to, to do a bunch of stuff.. then I got let off and got home at about midday and needed to get 4hrs of sleep in before 4pm (when I had to go back to work until 2-3am)... But guess what?!?! Try sleeping from midday to 4pm when it is OMFGWTF hot as hell and for some reason my bedroom is 50 degrees hotter then the rest of my house and I keep waking up every 5mins completely drenched in sweat. :(

BAH HUMBUG! Only thing good about the snow is it covers the noise and drives people off the street in the city. As long as I can get around B4 they wake up....speaking of work, It's the Bewitching Hour---leave at 1am. BIG Ozzie.....outta here!
Frost Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Dec 2006, 00:12 · [Salvaged from Archive] I wish I got some pics of what it's looked like out here the past few days.. we've gotten more snow in the first 3 days of the week than it would take to put the Greater Vancouver Area into an official state of emergency (literally). I'm about 800km north, so we're supposed to be used to it. But I work for the railway.. because of the snow, we've derailed 5 times in the past 4 weeks... Twice because of my crew :oops: Right now the snowbanks dividing the lanes of traffic are higher than the roof of my car!
Thanatos Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Dec 2006, 06:33 · [Salvaged from Archive] *jealous" All we get is rain... Weeks and weeks of rain...
Vanguard Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Dec 2006, 07:30 · [Salvaged from Archive] *jealous" All we get is rain... Weeks and weeks of rain... least ya don't have to shovel rain
Thanatos Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 8 Dec 2006, 07:31 · [Salvaged from Archive] Can't go out and build things out of it, or go sledding in it, or throw it at people either...

But we did get close to 2 feet in the last 14 hours, I know, cause I went out and got rid of a foot of it yesterday, now my drive way looks great, but I can't get out of it, cause of the massive wall of snow we used to call a street. Out of 40 people that regularly work in the office at my job, 7 showed up in total today. Public transit has been cancelled, and the city has declared taxi's as emergency vehicles. I just have to say...VIVA LA FUCKIN SNOWBLOWER! Cause it took me 3.5 hours to clear my drive way using that.....I have fits thinking of doing it with just a shovel...... What railway you work for? My grandfather worked line crew for CN in Northern Ontario for 40 years...

My grandfather worked line crew for CN in Northern Ontario for 40 years... Yeah, I'm with CN.. great pay, crappy company (at least now). I've been with them since June. I've only been finished training for about 7 weeks and last night I get a helper who's only been finished training for 3 weeks. Before, you'd be working as a helper (or a brakeman on the road) for 2-3 years before being a foreman (or conductor), not the case anymore! So last night they start riding me for not being able to do 12 hours worth of work in 8 hours in a yard they haven't cleaned the snow out of! So glad I'm going back to the road this afternoon. Before I go any further, I should remind myself that I'm in general chat and not the fight room lol.. Back to the topic anyways.. yeah our snow removal isn't too bad.. I live in a nicer, heavily populated suburb (relatively speaking of course) and it's not uncommon to see snowmobiles running around up here. Also pretty close to some great ski hills. You should really check out what the West Coast has to offer in the winter! PG Frost? Lotsa Big Ozzies up there! LMAO! You know you live in BC when you know each city by their distance from Vancouver! Yeah, I'm up here in PG.. Seen a few bears when taking trains to McBride, even had to run from one lol! We even have a family of deer living in our north rail yard, feeding off the grain that falls out of the cars. Pretty cool to see actually, but you get used to it. On my last trip to McBride we hit a deer and I guess we dragged it 8 miles until we went over a "Wayside Inspection System" (or a hotbox detector as we call 'em) which set off alarms that we were dragging "equipment" 126 axles back (in other words.. nearly 3000ft). So guess who's gotta get out, in the middle of the dark, in snow up past my knees and start walking back to see what it was. Yeah, it sucked.. we were in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and I finally get back there and find a headless deer carcass wedged into the axle of a car. You know, it doesn't matter whether it's got a head or not, you still kick it to make sure it doesn't jump up and bite your head off or something! So yeah, had to wrench that out.. wasn't pretty. On our way back the next day we had deer jumping in front of our train and out of the way at the last possible second all over the place, and me, screaming at them to move because I didn't feel like going through that again any time soon!
