Looks Like I Will Be Driving In The Snow!

Looking out the window I see it has snowed about an inch already and still coming down heavy. Drove the 911 to work and have 2 meetings I will have to drive to before I head home this evening. Looks like I will have a bit of fun. Glad I put on the Dunlop Winter Sports at the beginning of winter. Whoo Hoo!

Nothing like snows and a good coat of road salt to make a 911 drive that much more interesting. Drive safe!

Heh - just checked the weather. Looks like I'll be sledding home as well tonight. I guess there's no band practice!

I heard on the news today that Mt Washington (?) in New Hampshire (?) was 20 degrees below w/120mph winds.

And I was cranky becuase we're back down into the 60s today. brrrr!

Mt Washington in NH has recorded some of the strongest winds and coldest temps ever recorded.

I have a house in Vermont near "Mt Horrid"

I wonder how the heck people lived up there 250 years ago

brrrrrrrrrrr

I cant even open my garage to work on my car now (door is frozen shut)

Spring will come again, right? Please tell me that's right!?!

It was about 5 F here in Chicago yesterday. Went to lunch complaining with all the others to a little meeting where the speaker was the first blind guy to climb Mt. Everest. Pictures of him crawling across a ladder over a crevass and stories of 100mph winds and -100 windchills.

I felt warmer - and lucky too - but only for about 2 hours. Then I tried to hail a cab on Michigan Ave!

Nothing like the cold air to make one aware of all the little spots on the car that could use a dab of grease, tightening, etc. Could barely get the car into first yesterday, parking brake is scratching.

12 degrees this morning. What a great idea it was to buy the fiance a puppy...that likes to go outside every morning, every afternoon, every evening.
