We have at least 24" here, was on 384 this morning at 5 unplowed with at least a foot of snow chugging along in 4x4 high at 20mph passing all the idiots in the ditch truck does great in the snow.

The F350 7.3 plow truck i was using today was 2x4 (2x6? dually). it learned its place quickly and where i couldnt go got stuck 3 times lmao

Good morning all. I'm gonna work from home again today because the parking lot at work it full of snow piles. They are expecting that parking is reduced 20-25% because of it. It probably won't be carted away until this weekend.

Good morning everyone.
I need to clean up a few inch's that can late yesterday.
Then I am going to go help my dad with his walks and stuff.
I need to meet the adjuster to look at the wife's van, then I can get that fixed.

good afternoon fellas!

andy, i would recommend car care clinic on route 1 in guilford. chris does excellent work and doesnt BS you at all about timeline or price. i strongly warn against going to Lane's. i dont have enough time to type that story but it involves 3 months and a lot of fighting.

Afternoon gents.
Thanks for the info Aaron.
I got a chance to push some of the snow back today when it warmed up.
What I really need is a snow blower attachment.

pizza???

i found out my sister (collapsing lung girl) is back in the hospital with a laundry list of issues. my mother had been trying to call her all morning to check on her (she had the flu), and after hours of not getting through to her my mother called my cousin and his girlfriend who live in the boston area. My cousins girlfriend left work with her boss and they found my sister in terrible condition, unable to move out of bed and not entirely coherent. she is now in the ICU with a spinal tap, a blood transfusion, IV antibiotics and a plethora of tests to figure out whats going on. the current theory is that her flu got the best of her to the point where she was dehydrated, and her kidneys shut down and snowballed from there. she still hadnt totally recovered from the lung operation, and was extremely underweight which is probably why a common flu was able to infect her so badly from the beginning.

poop.

Aw man...
Aaron, I'm sorry to hear your sister is back in the hospital.

She'll be in my prayers.
