Thread: WHAT!!!!!!....Snow Possible Thursday At Toledo Bend......

I Faced Conditions like that once in Jacksonville Florida. There was A winter storm that blew in, an Ice and snow storm. The Comp. I worked for was A 365 day opperation. Our shift started at 7 pm to 7 am. At midnight 3 of the 4 Bridges across the River had been closed. Leaving only one open. ---- The supervisors Refused to call upper Managment -- At 3:30 Water Pipes in the Sprinkler system frozen For hours started falling everywhere in the plant and Wearhouses. When the boilers ran out of water and the plant shut down an hour before we were to go home Someone finally decided to call the plant manager !!!! The last Brigge was closed also by then. I had to walk the 6 miles home across one of the frozen Bridges in the snow storm.... I put on all 7 long sleeve uniforms, Thermals,, Boots, and a winter jacket with a hood. I put on safety Glasses and a clear Face shield that covered my whole face... The only cars moving were front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Half way home I stoped and got a cup of coffee. Thats where I messed up. My snow melted then Refroze so stiff I couldnt hardly move. My Face shield Fogged over then froze making vision limited. I had been warm untill I got the coffee... Yall be safe

WOW. Hope some one brought a couple fruit jars....................
