Actually, I've been thinking we get less snow each year

This is a great snow storm today, I was suppose to meet Fly Low for some snowmobile riding up North, but the traffic was moving so low on the X-way I was forced to aborted the plan .. Best snow this year and I can't get to it.

The snows ok.... You just need to add some new toys

yea this weather bites the big one! I love driving my big (4x4) beast through the snow though.

But I really wanted to pull the vette in the drive and work on cleaning the garage today. But since it's snowing I am leaving it in.

Be positive. The snow helps our lake levels and tourist industry. Not to mention it helps keep the miles off the Vette. .

Yeah I agree with Mark! This white stuff is GREAT! Beautiful to look at as it's glistening from the moonlight! Gee, lets see, I only spent 2 hours plowing it, got wind burn in the process, had to cancel my evening plans because of it, got stuck in it not once but twice with my GP, which by the way SUCKS in snow, and since it's continued to snow and the wind is whipping, I get to play in it yet once again tomorrow . . . Oh goodie!

Spring? In Deetroit that means 2 1/2 months of mud, grey skies and 40*weather. We sometimes get Spring on Memorial Day weekend.

[QUOTE=George8211]Actually, I've been thinking we get less snow each year

George,
From a bona fide, O.F.'er when you start thinking it snowed more in the "old days" it is a sign that you are moving closer to charter membership in the O.F'ers Society.

This weather is killing me! I've got new parts piling up in the garage and nowhere to put them. With all of the salt they've put on the roads, my car won't be coming out of storage until April.
