Anyone see an ambulance at by pracs/amber valley parkway?
My IDIOT friend decided to walk from pracs (stuck saturn) to our apartments, he got massive frostbite on his face ears because he wasn't wearing proper gear.
4 hours after we called 911 the arrived. He was fine, may lose a peice of his ear.

you mean the video I posted earlier?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lTYVK15MV8They had 2 city payloaders trying to clear the way for them. AVP is pretty well blocked off from the pracs corner west right now due to all the cars in the street. The payloaders ended up clearing a path over the AV apartments lawn to get around the cars. Look back through the thread - there are plenty of pics of the street from my trip out there.

say bookem, can you tell how deep that drift is in front of that ranger? From here it looks like it's a solid 10' right now...Thinking now is the time to go dig out the garage and get all the shit out I should've gotten out earlier.
The wind is breaking it down now, about the height of the bed in the back, just over the hood in the front. A 6 foot drift is now building up right in front of my garage, and right in front of the door it's packed in, I could barely squeeze out.

There is going to be no way to get out until they get in here and dig us out. The drifts are getting pretty deep all the way around right now.

Yup, that was for my idiot friend.We were freaking out because his face was litterally frozen, his cheeks were grey green and solid, plus he was having chest pains. By the time they got there he was fine...4 hours later.
he's not a tall bald guy is he?
There were 2 people that stopped at my complex for a while and then took off walking west home. One was stuck in the road and the other was parked at Pracs.

As long as its not a real deep freeze and you don't go actively trying to warm the frozen skin its not the end of the world. Obviously be dealing with tissue damage but that's minor considering.

Hopefully there's no long term effects, besides the possible loss of part of his ear.
Although it might make a good reminder as what NOT to do in a blizzard.A friend from our apartment building got out of detox this afternoon, still smelling of booze, walked from Main Ave all the way home, just south of Kmart on S. University.
The powerade he had in his coat pocket was frozen, my only guess was that the alcohol that was still in his system worked like antifreeze.Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

Yeah, I saw that out of place giant pile there that would be in front of your garage.
And had I known there were gumballs...

I got a feeling the entire citys going be a ghost town tomorrow with those massive drifts.
Anyone get a total snow fall accumulation yet or is there still more coming?
