Winter in Nebraska-brrrrr!

Not fun to drive on to say the least.

Oh. My. God. O-H M-Y G-O-D!!! OMG!

:drops to knees and thanks the nearest deity for getting me the fuck out of there:

Wow...that SUCKS! I'm speechless.

Taken this morning. Temp at the time +9. Enjoy SoCal:)

enjoy every minute of SoCal!!

But I'm saving that pic just in case I should ever get homesick. That'll take care of it right quick. ;)

We were looking at Nebraska's forecast at work today. Monday looks like a REAL winner. Channel 6 out of Omaha plastered the word "FRIGID" on it...high of 12, low of -2, more snow, anyone's guess what the wind chill will be. Oh man, the degree to which I don't miss that crap is astounding.

I'm on my way to Georgia!!! I'm in central Missouri tonite. Cold, but none of the white stuff:) Edited for "antifreeze" spelling.

The days are sunny and breezy! Ah! Fall in NE GA is beautiful!

Safe travels! :) CB

Travel looks just fine:toast:

:)

but that makes it good farmland. I'm from north Alabama, and lived in Colorado for awhile, so I like mountains, too:)

I have to drive my gf's little neon from indy to CA in a few weeks. Thankfully she'll be along to keep me company. Time not being a factor, I was debating detouring well out of my way south.

right now. It will likely look far different in a couple of weeks.

It's a crap shoot, the weather in NE changes constantly. This time of year you can get anything from sunny and 55 degrees to 20 below zero and 14 inches of snow.

You won't know what it's going to be like until the day before you drive through it. Good luck!

to keep an eye on the Weather Channel. This time of year, I set up the sat dish on my mirror mount and check it out.

Your truck, is that a Volvo?

I'm not a driver, but I'm a tech who spends an absurd anmount of time in the always uncomfortable right seat of a bunch of tractors. My company specializes in old broke down P.O.S's. The only freightliner was about a 1989 no-frills day cab (don't know the model name--but it's the one you always see)

The T-600 was like a gift from above.

But I always thought those Volvos looked pretty snappy. The Freightliner Century has kind of a similar slant on the hood, doesn't it? Well stay warm and stay on the road! :)

Freightliners back in the day....sucked. Since Mercedes took over, they're really nice trucks. Not "freightshakers" anymore:rofl:

Ours had an electrical problem once, so sometimes I called it "The Flameliner!" :rofl:

I'll hafta remember that:rofl:

Funny, tho: a B followed by five R's looks almost exactly like Rabrrrrrr (with the patented six R's).

Hey, what do you call the guy who lives next door to Rabrrrrrr? Nabrrrrrr! Haha! Thank you, I'll be here all week.

But I figured :wtf: Rab can be a bit, uh, off the wall at times:rofl:

He makes perfect sense to me. Tell me he's not joking.

But ya gotta read between the lines. He's one of my favorite Lounge Lizards. I can't explain it, but, one just knows whether he's serious or bullshitting.

:thumbsup:

"Nabrrrrrr" <-- too funny!

:yourock:

Do you live here or just driving through? Has been a bit on the brisk side. I actually love the extremes myself, when I am freezing my ass off I say to myself, I will be sweating my ass off in six months.

Peace

Notice the red hood? I drive for, ahem, a major trucking company HQ'ed in Lincoln.

vehicles in the ditch on a 35 mile stretch of I-74..

When we went back for Thanksgiving there was always an ice storm & trying to travel between families my husband always missed the Cornhusker game. We just stay in Mobile now & let them come to us.

in Booneville. Freezing mine off as well:rofl:

I'm stayin' outta Nebraska!~

I just got the heck out of there. Not a nice place to hang out.

Snowflakes and windchills and fundies, oh my! ;)

Well, I guess I'm a Damn Yankee to ya. I live in *North* Alabama:rofl:

EVERY soft drink is a Coke, doncha know? Watch out for them-thar hurricanes, you hear?:rofl:

Hurricanes? Danny greeted us & we've been acquainted with them ever since!

on the Coke thing. I remember Danny well. Tornadoes from remnants took out many homes in Jefferson County. Last year, Ivan left us in Walker County W/O power for 6 days. We were lucky-merh and other Katrina survivors are STILL trying to cope.

had minimal damage & ten miles down the road is wiped off the map.
Going to sleep now, great talking to ya, keep on truckin'!

Try Alabama. I live there when I'm not on the road.

This is awesome...I can feel the chill right through my monitor!

Very nice shots, my dear......

Got your PM.....and now there's one for you.....

Thank you so much .......



:loveya: :hug:

Farther down the road there was lots more ice. Had to forget the camera and focus on the task at hand:scared:

Never again.

Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen

I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died

From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun

The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest

Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world

left many years ago - and now remember why - Daytona Beach will be upper-60s today

(oh yeah - still a Husker fan even though not living anywhere near Nebr for several decades)
