    So first the weather guessers said 6-10" of snow

    Then they kept backing it down to 2-4" before it started

    We ended up with an official 6.9" of snow with a 0.25" coating of ice to top it off.

    Ya know, if I was affable, photogenic and possibly even a bit goofy I could be paid lots to be on TV and be wrong about the weather too.

    Lots of ice here. About 500,000 without power here :nonod:
    Downed branches and trees everywhere.

    Ok, ready for winter to be over :incazzato:

    No need, I cleaned it off and drove right out of the spot. Yay for Blizzaks.

    Mostly got it out cause I am real low on 1/2 and 1/2. We can't have that now, can we.

    Turn that picture upside-down, and it looks like the reflection of my front porch light on the snow and ice in the front yard!

    Only 42 days until spring...

    It's all fun and games until it messes with heating and eating. Hope the power and a sense of normal are returned soon!!

    Jeebus Dave!

    You sound like me and my Jet Black R50!

    Wet sanded with 2500, then a good buff and paste every week there after! It was a 30 foot black mirror!
    Now all I want is not shiny, because its harder...

    I'd get my car out today too, but it's raining here again and I'd rather it didn't grow into a larger model.....

    What a cute little toy! You going to use that instead of a window scraper? :lol:

    How about a 36-inch, 6-speed, 10-hp, 2-stage John Deere snow thrower that'll chuck rocks 100 feet? :snowblower: :Thumbsup: :devil:
