    I just saw a forecast for up to 6" of snow on Thursday. I'm going out right now to take the cars on one last sprint, then back to put the plow on my tractor. I'm looking forward to using the cross-country skis!

    Yay! But I can't wait for the snow. I heard the city and near the lake should get 6"+. Definitely going to sled.

    sob.........














    See everyone in May........unless someone decides to crash into 5 or 6 cars, hit a house, roll their car and eject themselves out of the car while rolling like yesterday. In that case, I'll be there.......cold and freezing. :(

    Snow is just frozen water. Is 'Snow' as cold as ice?

    No chase, just a lack of the basic tools required to drive! ;)

    A friend of mine bought a new high dollar snow blower this season. He was like "Well, I wish I had not done that!" - I responded back with "If buying a new snow blower somehow magically made winters this mild I would buy a new one every year without complaint."

    Amen.

    Does your friend also call the fire department and complain that once again his house did not burn down last year?

    No... But he did complain that the Police did not drive through his neighborhood enough once. I smacked him on the forehead for that one.

    Banker friend loaned out $100k worth of snow removal equipment this year. The company hasn't used it once. Ouch.
