    Made it to the middle of nowhere. Slid through an intersection making a left hand turn, but no harm, no foul. There was a cop car parked just past the intersection, thought I was toast, but he wasn't in the car. A rare break that I'll take.

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

    Ok, ready for winter to be over :incazzato:

    So far that makes two more than I needed to hear War songs in one day.

    Let's go for the trifecta and add "Lowrider" to the trifecta, and totally destroy what is already turning out to be a bad day....

    Single digits here all week, but today at least the sun is shining.

    I dug the Clubby out and cleared the drive so my bride could make it to work...they don't close her office when it snows like most of the rest of the city (doctor/hospital answering service) and that's why she drives an Audi Quattro - I know it will get her there and home safely. We had about 3" of ice on Sat which I cleared off before the snow hit last night...good thing too as it's not fun slipping and sliding on that ice while trying to move snow.

    I also cleared some paths and cul de sacs in the back yard for the Mini-Poopers, but as expected, they simply bounded off into the fresh snow instead - it's hell getting that matted snow out of their fur!

    I don't know what the official total was but I easily have 14" in my yard....more in the drifts and a little less where the wind could blow thru.

    However, we're supposed to get hit with snow again this Sat, and again next Wed. I was ready for winter to be over sometime around last November!

    That snow with the ice on top is heavy stuff. Especially after the plow leaves a dam at the end. The kids across the street kept getting his snow blower stuck.

    I've yet to even start trying to dig out. Might think about it some today.

    Oh wait, I did just think about digging out. Yeah, I need a nap now.

    The apron in front of my shop angles down to the street.... The city rarely plows our street.... The only way I can get the shop truck into the shop is to hook a long chain to the forklift inside the shop and pull her in....
