Right now we're expecting to get 12-18". Should be fun. I just put on a new set of Yoko ES 100's.

I took three measurements just to be sure but right now I've got 20 inches and they are calling for another 5 to 10 overnight.

Somebody please stop this madness!

I hope every Pelicaner on the eastern seaboard realizes this is all Jamie's fault. Last weekend he said "I got a 3 day weekend coming up and I'm gonna be outside working on the 911 the whole time."

On the flipside, I took the Mustang out tonight and turned off traction control. Fun fun fun!

You think youve got it bad? I pick up my new 88 this week... and we've got 20 inches and counting...

They're talking 18 - 24" tonight and tomorrow.....I don't know where we are going to put it. I figured I'd fix a ton of things on the p-car this winter. What I didn't figure on was below freezing cold temps all winter.

I just open the UNHEATED garage door from the kitchen and drool several times a week.

Gotta do something about getting heat out there.

Great picture Max - it was so good in fact that it didn't even feel like you were rubbing it in

Dave - you gotta get one of those propane heaters that hook up to your gas grill tank. Once you have one you'll never go back.

Oh yes, BTW we are up to 25" now. Fortunately they are saying only another 1 to 3 today and then we should be done.

The view out my front door, That's a good 18 inches piled against the door.

Don't think I'll be goin out for a while,




At least the wind is keeping the cars clean.

The Starion hibernating,



Looks like limited garage access for a while.

Here's a picture of my '72 (car cover too). This was taken on Sunday at about 4 PM. The turbo is safely tucked away in the garage.

We really enjoyed driving the snowy backroads!




And the snowed-in horses

All of these pictures are great. I just love when other places get more snow than us!

This does not look too bad, until you realize that this is all sleet! I did not see any snow and could hear it bouncing off the house windows.

The Porsche is warm and dry.

I have 15" Blizzaks on my car and I cannot stress enough how much fun it is to drive a 911 in the snow. Personally, I enjoy the irony of honking and waving at slow SUVs as I motor past them going up hills.

I took that picture yesterday outside my girlfriend's place. We don't need no steenkin' garage queens around here!

I... was.... expecting.. Will Shatner!

I'm doing all I can, Cap'n, but I don't have the powder!

I went topless yesterday. I must be putting on some winter fat; I think I'm well into the B-cup range now....

Tom went outside to scrape the ice off my windows (on the Jetta) and it wouldn't budge. Had to crank the car up and turn the defroster on for about 10 minutes before I could start removing that ice.

It doesn't look bad and the highways are in great shape but the side roads are fun. I was doing handbrake turns all over the place this morning on the way into work.

Jeeze guys, I'd back my car out of the garage and take a pic, but I can't...no digital camera. Besides, it's raining...
