#30762 of 31395 5.5' Water Main Break by ateixeira Dec 23, 2008 (6:57 am)
I can beat all those stories: a massive, 66" water main broke about a mile from my house, it's probably still on the news now. Cars washed away and helicopters has to rescue a dozen or more people out of 7 cars (one was an Outback Sport, too). http://www.washingtonpost.com/ It's not even snow or rain. Just a massive fluctuation in temps. We got a deep freeze last night.

Replying to: tsy (Dec 22, 2008 8:08 pm) Hey Tom... we're coping just fine... sort of You guys have it worse with less snow, just because you're not supposed to get that much! We got about 20 inches here at the house in the first load last week, another 6 or so Sunday/Monday, and forecasting another 6-8 for Christmas Eve/Day. Winds & drifts have been almost worse than the actual snowfall. As of right now, I have 1 driveway, room for all 3 cars to park off the road, the graders came by last night & re-buried my mailbox , a broken snowblower , and a sore back from spending too much time shoveling! The other driveway has been officially abandoned til the blower gets fixed. But hey, it's Christmas! Maybe my Christmas present will be a repaired machine! Cheers!

Replying to: hammerhead (Dec 23, 2008 9:24 am) Glad things are ok Paul- I guess you guys are used to getting more snow than we are! As long as you're asking for things, maybe ask for a new back? Merry Christmas! tom

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 23, 2008 8:55 am) Rather ironic that the water line break happened on River Road. We have 6" to 8" on the ground here in Boise and my wife has been commuting in the Outback. I had to run errands this morning and the minivan got out of the neighborhood ok, but it wouldn't make it back up my driveway.

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 23, 2008 12:16 pm) Juice, did you get any pictures? We had 2 days of below 0F temps, finally back in the 20F's today...but more snow. Need to figure out what to do about the snow on the 2nd level roof of the new house, it is overhanging the gutter. I use to be able to rake that off on my old house which was a ranch. -Brian Replies to this message: ateixeira (Dec 24, 2008 8:47 am)

Replying to: subearu (Dec 23, 2008 1:58 pm) No, it basically happened just west of the DC Beltway, and I take that exit (or the next) going east, in to town. The TV and radio coverage went on for a while. Fortunately my wife and I were working, plus the kids were in school, so we never even noticed the loss of water pressure during the day.
