Holy Smokes!  Gas for $2.41!!!!  $2.73 up here!

We are praying for snow up here in CNY.  Snowmobile season is dwindling away!  We can trailer them up to Redfield but it is nice to sled locally.

Hopefully we can get 2 feet of snow too!

Lucky stiffs!



it's actually about 2.70 across the street.

didin't someone post a video of a cop that actually drew his sidearm at a snowball fight in dc back in dec?


becareful dude!!

No doubt man.  A good friend of mine was actually in that video, and was there to witness the happenings.  Some jerk with a superiority complex completely over-reacting.  Regardless, this weekend was great due to the snow.  Widewing that's more or less what it looks like at my place, but my friggin camera is busted.   :frown:

Either way, no work tomorrow   :rock

Sorry to hear about the snow guys.  It was 75 degrees here ceiling and visibilty unlimited, winds 120 at 10.  The last time it snowed here was Dec 24 2004.  I wish I could send picts but I dont think it would help.

I am farther east than El Paso, but I have lived in Germany, and Korea, so driving in snow is no biggie, but for people down here WOW.  I just grab a lawn chair and watch the rodeo.  The real buster was when I got snowed on in Northern Iraq, that sucked.  The good thing is the insurgents are fair weather fighters and dont like getting cold.  I guess they would rather snuggle with their sheep.

We had our big dump in December. Out here on Long Island, we get a huge storm every few years (2 feet+), with significant snows (12"+) just about every winter. We've had 38" so far this winter. The one that clobbered the east coast yesterday missed us, providing nothing more than a few snow showers. The secret to living in the snow belt is to have a snow capable vehicle.
