Going to super nice here Sorry bro, but it's very rare I get a chance to gloat. To be honest, I've never had a chance to gloat

We had about that on the ground 4". It is melting now. I drove around this morning running errands on totally snow covered roads. Everybody except for me apparently forgot how to drive in the stuff.

Supposed to be nicer tomorrow, 50 and sunny. Gotta get the Vette ready for storage, it is now or never. I doubt anymore nice days from here on till spring. The next week looks like crap so...cold, rain etc...

I wish we had a smiley with tears streaming down or maybe the little turn table playing "My Heart Bleeds for You"! I think about putting mine up for the summer. No one wants to drive a piece of insulation around when its 100*.

Every guy says they are good at two things, one of which is driving! Although, in truth you kinda have to be with 300HP/POSI/11"MEAT/RWD

Arghhh, that sucks! I got a new snowblower yesterday, complete with hand-warmers. I'm hoping it just sits there all shiny and new for a long time.

We got a couple of inches, mostly on the grass around here, but it is cold. To top it off, my oil heat system decided to crap out on us, & we are in the middle of installing a heat pump, but naturaly its not working yet. end result? No heat in the house except for a couple of ceramic space heaters.

About 12 inches of wet, heavy snow here. The Vette stays under cover until the snow and salt goes away.

I'm not so much afraid of the snow, as of the other idiots on the road who will slide into me.

I see the east coast got hammered pretty early this year. We were spared in Ohio for now. I plan on driving through November unless it gets too ugly. 55 and sunny in northwest Ohio today so I'm driving!!!

I'll deal with the snow when it eventually comes.
