I live in Denver and this last weekend, I was finally able to get my vette out since the snowstorm(s) BEFORE Christmas. If I would have been counting, it was 53 days! Sorry guys.

This was the snow before Christmas, almost 30"!

When I left St. Louis 10 years ago.. I left 2 snow shovels in the garage with a ribbon and a message for the new owners of the house telling I was donating them as I would NEVER need one again.

I've been using my heated seat mod every day for the last couple of weeks (except for a couple of days in the upper 60's). I just LUV a warm bun!

Damn military?????????????? Be thankful you're in Philly and not stationed in Alaska. Spent 3 years at the Arctic Test Center. Snow was measured in 100's of inches there. By the way, it doesn't snow in the military, it snows ON the military. Retired US Army
