So who else is gonna get whalloped by this east coast snowstorm?

I'm in DC, I saw one forecaster saying 26.2" of snow for my area. (!!!)
Weather.com suggests 10-20. Either way, it's an unprecedented
snowfall for before Christmas in this area.

I'm just mad it's falling on the weekend, it's more fun to play in the
snow when I know I'm getting off from work (and getting paid for it!) to
play :)

Snow! Yay!

Nuttin' much expected here, all to the south of us... Just as good, it
tends to pile up slowly eating your open space in the parking lot.

Our forcast is for a couple of inches total. For once I wish it'd just
blow by. The kids are coming home for the weekend, we're springing Mom
out of the nursing home and having our Christmas on Saturday. Maybe if
it would hold off till Sunday and then I can play...

Good deal for you and the family. Enjoy!!!

That's the one draw back of living in the sun and surf. So far away from the
kid's but it is what it is.

How's Mom doing?

Thinking about it, I actually do miss the plowing. Then again I say that,
but after 40 years of chasseing snow flakes I can probably do without it.
I sure don't miss working ass deep in the snow for hours.

Just got back in from running the route, got maybe a couple of inches
but it's mostly slush. Made a few swipes along the buildings by the
doors and called it quits. Radars not showing much for today but we'll
see what happens.

Mom gets sprung 3-4 times a week. Some days are better than others. I
think if she had her way she'd just sit in a chair and vegetate. We
keep the ole girl moving..

Realized I was (by habit) pushing it on my (new) neighbor's lawn the
last storm... They just moved in: "Welcome to my neighborhood, here:
have some free snow on me!" <BSEG>

A dusting (light one at that) since yesterday, don't really expect to
see too much more. Weather predictions are for maybe an inch or so,
just teh wrong amount, too little to plow, too much to leave!

A little breeze sprung up and blew away all that we got here. Amazing
what 20 to 30 miles did to this storm. Glad I wasn't any further south
or east!

Who's stuck? C'mon guys, you know I have a 4x4 and know how to use it!
Coupla feet of snow, no big deal!

In truth, I've spent the last two days taking turns with The Hubby
digging the trucks out. Sometimes not having a garage sucks. Too tired
to do cookies.

I'm used to this amount of snow... grew up Upstate. But, it's been a
few years, and it's fun watching the locals panic. You know, on Twitter
it was called the "snowpocalypse"? And, Federal Gov't gets tomorrow
off. Wimps!

The garage is *so* nice. Plow and truck inside, somewhat warm, exhaust
hose so I can warm it up before I go out to plow...

You're getting pretty darn good at knocking people off the cookie list
but has anybody that's still on the list ever recieved a cookie??? I
didn't think so.... I don't think there ever was a cookie list...
Somebody has been playing us like an old catfish for the last few

Ok, you found me out. There isn't a list. However, there ARE cookies

Real pretty around here with the snow, but intersections are still fun,
and I still have to put it in 4Hi to get up the S-turn hill without
fishtailing :)
