Waiting for Dracula to walk out of the woods here anytime now. Winter around here is just cold, damp, and rainy mostly with a few scattered snow storms.

You are going to tell me about your Kentucky-isms. What does that mean?

Just got off the phone with a friend in Boston and he said the snow is waist high with gale force winds. His wife does nothing but stare at the kitchen window and if it gets much worse he may have to let her in

Good one. It is very depressing here in Wisconsin...we have close to 2 feet of snow where I'm at. It's terrible. Hopefully March is warm and I can get the truck out early.

Just finished two days behind the snow blower. Got about 31" from the northeaster Friday / Saturday. Would be kind of fun if I didn't have a 400' driveway to clear. We share a driveway with our neighbor for about half the distance then his cuts off onto gravel. He still hasn't found anyone to plow him out so he's pretty much stuck. It's going to be a while before we see the spring flowers.

LOL. No euphemism. I'm just talking about how cold, dreary, and foggy it is around here
Kind of looks like Transylvania from the movies.

Yeah it looks like you guys in New England got hammered. We got a big paralyzing 3-4 foot snow like that about a month after I bought my F-150 years ago. We lived in the city. If I had a snow blade on the front of it, I could have almost paid for the truck that week!

It was 70 this morning at 6 AM, now it is all the way down to 64. We don't get much of a winter here in this part of Texas. But I am too busy working on work to be able to work on the truck right now.
