Ready for snow?

I can't wait. Gonna have a snowball fight with my girlyfriend. If she's nice to me, I'll tell her about it BEFORE it starts...

Last year, I put that Escort in the ditch twice...and slid the truck sideways out of my friends driveway, coming to rest in the neighbors front yard. Oughta be an interesting winter...

I wish you would all stop your swearing. I hate that four lettered word, " SNOW ".
It should snow once a year and that would be xmas morning, and have it all gone by lunch time, and temps back into the 80's.
I guess i hate it so much is, because I have to get out there and pull my wiggle wagons down the road in it.

I go off roading daily, I park in a gravel parking lot.

Are you moving to Greenland or something????? Chains, sand, salt, and water bladder???? I hope its one of those better prepared than sorry cuz if you need all that stuff I'm just gonna go trade my 4 wheeler for a snowmobile today. Most trucks dont need 4x4 AND chains unless something really bad happens. I carry 4 bags of sand and a good tow rope to go with my BFGs but I havent had to use the rope for snow yet.

Hmmm...it might snow sooner than expected around here. It was 63 (t-shirt weather) when I went into the building at work today. Tonight when I came out it was 38 and the wind was ferocious.

I actually dug a jacket out of the back of my explorer before I headed home. I had several stops. LOL

Not much down here in Springfield. we had some drizzle and a few flurries, and that was it. Temps right now though are 28 degrees at 5 am, A little bit of ice on my back deck from the drizzle.
OK i've had enough of winter, bring on summer.

That is the one thing I don't like about winter. I have a one car garage that is barely big enough to park a Geo Metro in. ( I used to have one when we bought our house)

Besides my Mountaineer I have a '92 Cougar which needs the head gaskets replaced on. Ther is not a snow ball's chane of it fitting in the garage

Now I do like winter because there is no yard work to do.
