w/ 2 shepherds I'm thinking you better clear a path a bit further away from the house.


I wish my chains for my snow blower would leave the UPS depot in Laurel some day, than I can run the blower out into the grass to get to the woods. The dogs take a few leaps towards the woods where they are used to going and turn around and say F that. One of my dogs is only going every other day.

Bear has figured out that the snow is not too deep under the row of pines in the fornt

LOL. Didn't even notice the lil fella squatting till I read your last line. Could scare the hell out of a trespasser.

Waiting for the Texans to chime in since they got snow down there too. At least in the DFW area.

touche' ; we do get our share of weather-related challenges. btw, facing south we're right coasters [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

and on the topic of snow I can't resist sharing this "story" from the diary of a california couple who moved back east to get away from the earthquakes, mud slides, etc..
sorry, the PDF is a bit rough, I tried to change the contrast to make it as legible as possible so hopefully it won't be too hard to read.

advisory : it does contain some very colorful language, so for those easily offended, please don't flame me.. I wasn't the one who wrote it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Dan that is hilarious. Best laugh I've had in weeks. We lived in NE for years, moved South, then went back up North. I could hear myself in some of that prose.

Confirmed. Hate snow, I'm staying in SD.

Yeah, I got a kick out that...we lived in Cleveland for nine years ( well, not Cleveland-proper, rather in a very nice suburb and on the lakefront as things go, but still close enough to the city to be tainted by it, a well deserved stigma [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img] ) So putting up with snow was just adding insult to the injury that was life in and around Cleveland in the 70s. I hear it's far nicer now, but the weather hasnt' changed so no doubt that still sucks, as does the biting cold and snow blizzards. Snow looks beautiful in pictures, but would not want to deal with that again.. I'm too old to have to clear my driveway every day

I am actually pseudo happy it's been snowing like crazy, keeps my mind off of cigarettes while shoveling or blowing. Shoveled the 30+ incher rather than use the blower just so it would take forever. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] I've lost 16 lbs while quitting smoking and while some of it is diet, the clearing of snow has probably been the direct reason for the last 5 or 6 lbs. The dogs like having me work from home this past week but they would be happier with about a foot of snow on the ground. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Chantix and strong $$$ incentive from the employer. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Although dieting, quitting caffeine (temporarily) and quitting smoking coincided with the biggest data fiasco in the 15 years with my company. Restoring almost 100 data backups and getting emailed copies of daily reports (for places that did not have backups I needed) to piece back together the data in 18 locations had me blow right through the first two weeks of Chantix smoking worse than before.

I love snow, but the amount of snow some of you guys got is killer. Up by my place we only got about 1/2 inch a couple days ago.

Mark....awesome dogs, i have 2 shepherds myself. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Here we go again! This latest storm is pretty bad up here in northern New Jersey. Two trees have come down on my driveway - where I usually would have a car parked. I put both non-garaged cars (PT Cruiser and the 968) in remote parking lots - I'll find out tomorrow if they're OK. Our township fire department was outside and I opened the garage door - they told me to get back inside, that trees were coming down all over. Anyone want some firewood?

when all that snow melts, you guys can call this dude and see if he can custom-build amphibian 968s as well..

Quite happy to say that after 78 inches of snow this one missed us except for some snow showers and the winds. Winds are steady in the mid 30's gusting to the 60's. Whiteout conditions just from the blowing of snow already on the ground on my way home yesterday and on the way in this morning.

Only about 3 -4" here but it is slick and icy on the roads.

I fell and cracked a rib on Tuesday (it only hurts when I breathe) so I am going nowhere in this weather.

With laptop/server access, cell phone, etc. I'm not sure why I go to the office at all anymore [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
