I went to BWW after the basketball game. I hit traffic about 6:35 and got to my house at 6:55.

[Fumblerooskies]

Traffic got real bad on 29-S between Lovingston and the Cove Creek area. We made it thru OK...but others we know got caught not being able to pull some of the hills on that part of 29. Getting back into Lynchburg...there was about a 2-3 mile backup on 460E between LU and past Campbell Ave.

[Cider Jim]

I hope 29 North gets cleared up before the Neil Diamond concert Monday night in Charlottesville.

I was driving back to TRBC after visiting a friends house and I got into an accident over by River Ridge Mall. I braked to stop behind the guy in front of me then the girl in the car behind me braked, skidded and rear ended me then the guy behind her checked up and hit her. Her car came out the most damaged when all was said and done. My muffler was knocked askew but that really was it as far as damage is concerned

Yeah my buddy ate at the Lime Leaf and said it took 3 1/2 hours come home from C-ville

Now late last night and early this morning, the roads around Lynchburg were not too bad...just a few icy spots on bridges.

[Fumblerooskies]

[SuperJon]

You guys have fun with that. It'll be 70 where I'll be.

[Sly Fox]

I'll bet it doesn't stay 70 long. It was nearly 90 todau here in Texas before the front passed and now it may snow here tomorrow.

Global Warming, Global Cooling, Climate Change... more like Global Menopause.

Protecting Your Plumbing
01/14/09 6:41 pm | reporter: Margaret Clevenstine producer: Webteam

Across the ABC 13 Viewing Area - Plumbers are gearing up for what may be a busy weekend. Just two or three days of freezing weather can wreak havoc on your plumbing. We have some tips that can save us all some time and headaches. To keep your pipes from freezing, start inside. Keep your cold water on a little more than a drizzle. And open up the cupboards around the sink to let the heat circulate. But don't forget what to do outside.

Several school systems closed on Friday. Guess its too much to hope for that early LU classes take a hit
(yes...this is the same guy who complains when a dusting of snow cancels class...but my 720 AM is my only class tomorrow)

Never in my life have I heard anything like this. No school because it is a little chilly? What kind of limp-wristed bed wetters are we raising here? Close school because its too hot last year and now because its too cold. Global Warming got you to the point you can only go when the temperatures are comfortable outside? Does the buses not have heat? Does the school not have heat? The administrators, teachers, and any parents that pressured them for this should be ashamed of themselves. This is one reason that I never put my kids in Bedford county schools. TOTAL incompetence! JF is supposed to have such a tough football team and they can’t wear a big coat to school?

Our tax dollars at work!

[LUconn]

yeah, I really don't understand closing. I remember waiting at the bus stop in the winter growing up, it being in the teens out and the wind whipping snow off of the banks right into my face, just hoping and praying that the next car that comes over the hill spins out of control and ends my existence. I thought maybe the stinging on my face would fade over the course of eternity. Then the bus would eventually get there.

[JDUB]

thats a nice story. do you have any more? maybe about walking uphill barefoot in the snow?

Wise man once say, "Education is the only industry in which the consumer demands to be cheated." I guess those who produce the goods also want to be cheated.



(Not casting stones here, mind you. We haven't had a snow day in years here. I love snow days!)

[LUconn]

No, people outside of NC generally wear shoes.

[JDUB]

ok just making sure

A great night for my heat to decide to stop working

I've got a fire and space heater running and my house is 57 degrees and dropping. Fortunately, there's a guy here trying to get it working now.

[SuperJon]

I didn't know I moved to frickin Canada. This is ridiculous.

[Fumblerooskies]

International Falls...-40 AIR Temp this morning.
