The weather we had this morning...

Etymology: Shoshone paγinappih cloud
: a dense winter fog containing frozen particles that is formed in deep mountain valleys of the western U.S.

Wow, there is actually a word for the weather we got this morning?

So in other words freezing, icy, death fog, as Matt would say.
Good stuff.

This morning? It's still consuming the downtown region right now. :D

Hmm...Pogonip is good I guess...But my description is definately more extreme...and I'm all about extreme! gosh.

Oh, it is not. :P I can see Peavine, and I am further east than you.

Then you are looking for "out-of-bounds" "Back Country" Pogonip... Just be sure to wear your transponder.

It's not as bad as this morning, but it's still there. I can see Peavine too.

Coming home fron Stead was fun, pretty much Zero visibility.

damn.

Yeah its getting pretty town here in town. The lights and the tennis courts across the street and lighting up the entire area, making it really hard to see when your driving. gerr.

Damn it was thick on the way home. Probably be real bad in the AM.

I need the disable low beams mod. The fogs were definitely working better than the lows. I guess if you have the driver's seat adjustable headlights, you could crank them down... The 04 US STI HIDs aren't driver adjustable are they? It is only the Euro, or JDMs isn't it?

My lights are pointed pretty low right now.

They work great! The fog was viscous coming home at 7:30.

Nope, USDM's are adjustable...I run with mine on the 1 setting in heavy fog... Goes
0= Straight down
1
2
3=In oncoming eyes.

Viscous Fog! Good lord.

but in reverse order :lol:

You are correct...thank You...I fell down this morning on the ice, nothing has gone right for me since then

Didn't you do that last week too? Perhaps it's time for some more capable shoes?

Or, just get a tube of that Shoe-Goo stuff and add some ridges to the soles of your boots. It wears out quick, but while it lasts it really improves ice traction.

I had good shoes on today, I was just not being careful...I really fucked myself up this time too...my back hurts bad.

A bag of ice/snow melt might be a good investment... Cheaper than Chiropracters.

Except you have to go walk around on the ice and snow to spread it out... plus that's a lot of snow melting to do when it's not even your own property. :P

Yeah, its been happening in random locations...I'm not going to carry a bag of ice melt everywhere I go, I just need to lock myself in my house and never leave....

All of my falls have happened prior to 7:30 am, since no other assholes are up at that time, I'm the first one to walk into places, and I discoveer that ice melt is needed...

The worst part of my digger this morning was that my keu chain went flying and I had to look through the snow to find it ...fuck.
