Snowed in here in N. GA also. I'm a teacher, so it's another day off of school tomorrow and probably another on Wednesday too! Don't worry, I'll have to make it up unless they call it them furlough days which aren't all bad as they drop me into lower tax brackets. Maybe I'll trudge through the snow and see if the new belt fits the serpentine system.

lol how can you call that snow if you can still see the truck?

If you get board, when its about -15 if you throw boiling water into the air it explodes into mist. Also when it's -15 you rip door handles off, I still have the one from my last truck all broken, lol

Today, I'm off for my 4th day of school this week. I'm thinking I have a 50% chance of being off tomorrow. 4" of snow is pretty tough down here!

Damn! I knew there was another reason I live in California besides the fact that I love paying high property taxes and sitting in traffic jams.
