Snow BLOWS!

Last night I let my dog out for a potty break. I lost her in the snow bake.

No worries, found her this morning.


Found my cars too. I'm not goin anywhere.

I would say, it missed you by say... 60ish miles. It missed me here in Vincennes (barely) We sat right above freezing the whole time but just north of us in sulivan county got an ice sheet.

Re: Snow BLOWS!

Looks like a typical winter here in Canada.

Old snowblower finally died. Went to Wal-mart and took the fully assembled display unit. Was snowing outside and didn't have time to buy one in the box and put it together.

Re: Snow BLOWS!

Here's one of my 3rd gens under a car cover.
I think it's sitting on the snubbers there's so much snow.

Re: Snow BLOWS!

And that was BEFORE Christmas.
There's probably twice as much now but compressed to about 1/2 the thickness. Sort of like a glacier.

Re: Snow BLOWS!

A week ago I was plowing snow and today it's 66F out. Mother nature is trying to trick me into taking the IROC out, but I'm not falling for her shenanigans. Last time it did this I got rear ended and totaled out my 85.

Re: Snow BLOWS!

It was real nice out yesterday, but with my luck if I take the Camaro out I'll get pulled over again for having expired plates .

Re: Snow BLOWS!

I needed an excuse to play with my new phone's video capture stuff.

So since it was warm, and its been a week since I started up the GTA, I figured why not!

Its just a short video.
