I know a lot of you are from the East. This snow kinda bites. Don't mind a little, but when the snow is up over the wheels of my F250SD and over the nerfs, that bites. At least you plow guys will be making "Mod" money On a good note, my new F250SD 4X4 rumbled through the 3 foot of snow in PA with no problem. I was buried in an unplowed parking lot. Went to work at 8:00 and got home at 7:00. Did not take the truck, walked in instead. Lot still not plowed at all. Put the truck in 4H and with the stock Firestones, the F250 went right through without slipping or getting stuck in the ruts once. I have yet to use 4L Hope I never have too. I have nothing against snow, but three feet is just too much Glad I have the new Super Duty

That's funny....

I had the same thing happen to me down here in Houston!!!!!

Just kidding...It's in the 40's here, and people are acting like it could snow at any minute....They tend to break out the furs when it gets below 60. Unfortunately, when we do get below freezing for any length of time, the city pretty much comes to a stand still...kinda hard to get around when 90 % of your freeways are elevated...

oh well, hope it gets better up in your area...Saw the weather this morning, and I can honestly say, I'm glad to be in TX right now!!!

Take care...

I was in Beaumont during the summer. Stifling. That's all I can say. Have a close uncle down there. Snow isn't all that bad if your used to it. Shovelling bites though. Sister lives in Memphis. The whole city shuts down if it flurries or gets a little icy. She gets a kick out of it being originally from up north. Weather is calling for temps to warm up to 30's to 40's during the week. Probably flood again like in 1995. Ah, the joys of living in PA in the winter.

my wife and I had our honeymoon in the Poconos. It was in the September time frame, and the weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful... We plan to go back at our 10 year anniversary.

I must admit I am kinda sad about the big snowstorm missing the Chicagoland area. We got about an inch of snow the other day , and thats it. Said to be in the low 40's tomorrow. I really want it to snow so i can do some rompin' in the truck........

I get paid for all my cotracts up front, the more it snows the less I make. A good year would be 2 snowfalls, then I make bank.
Im still doinf pretty good, hopefully this is the end of it!!!!

Oh ya, I started plowing at 2am, just got in now at 6:55, eat my fruity pebbles and then head of to the "real" job.

This is totally unreal. After getting THREE feet of snow yesterday, it's snowing again.



Spring is coming, maybe in June.
