Anyone get caught in the snow yet?

hasn't happened to me yet and probably never will but has anyone got caught in an early snow storm? Just finished a 2 week break and was hoping to put on a few miles, it only rained twice, once for 9 days and the second time for 6 days, I got ripped off.

It's supposed to snow on Thursday while I'm driving up to Chicago.

Couldn't get out of my driveway 6 weeks ago in my 4x4. Almost missed my flight.

Alarick I take you have never spent much time in OK?


We don't get just a little rain... We get a lot of rain all at once... Usually very cold and blowing sideways as well..... Same thing with our snow...

Must confess, Sidney, I've spent no time in OK. I've been in NE in the middle of winter, but it was just cold--no active precipitation. And I've been in north TX, but not when it's been cold. I'm from L.A. We get no precipitation of any sort. We just steal our water from neighboring states.

Now that is the way I like my snow, 3,000 miles away from me.

If I want to see snow I will go up to visit the stuff. I don't want it to visit me, ever!

5 weeks ago in Killington, Vt. Woke up to ice and snow with no scraper. Room card works great as an emergency scraper.

Our ski hill has been open for a couple of weeks. Went up for my first day of the season today, and it was brilliant. We skied above the clouds all day, under blue skies. It was a bit like flying.
