I am in Florida and complaining because it is only 68 today with lows in the 40's but lots of sun. Actually we have no idea of your pain.

We have over two feet and it's still snowing. Snow drifts 6 feet high on the side of the house. It's very light but it SUCKS. I'll be living in FLORIDA some day. Can't wait.

Looks like the truck in the driveway won't be going anywhere for a while either.

Must be global warming. Denver has been in the low 70's last two days. Had the vet out for a short trip yesterday. In colorado you take advantage when you can. We could have a 2 footer tomorrow.

You guys be safe out there. It isn't the first snow fall you have seen and won't be the last. Just be smart, use common sense when driving and you will be ok.

This is just a normal type weather in North Central Wisconsin which is why I only put up with it for only 19 winters. I have lived in North Florida for 59 years now and the difference is like dying and going to Heaven. I definitely understand your situation up North .

Only about 12 inches here on western Long Island. The Vette is going nowhere.
Out east on LI there are reports of 2-3+ feet.
Be careful everyone!
Only 7 1/2 weeks till spring!

Yuck!!

In the low 85 ' s here in DFW. Took a nice 250 mile cruise with the top off.

Funny but we have not had one snowflake this year. Must be that JJ is not hosting the Super bowl. Lol

So, I take it you aren't the "put winter tires on that there car an' I drive it all winter long----I ain't savin' no Vette for someone else!"

I don't see no snow tires on the car that's why I'm sayin' what I did.

Damn that sucks.

We were supposed to get 12-18", got about only 7" thank god. (thats what she said)

I actually like winter, well the cold air but i HATE snow. You can't do anything. Can't take my motorcycle out, can't take the vette out, can't do anything really but stay inside. Now i know why there are a ton of october/november babies out there lol
