If you'd seen a red 8 with black rims and Dunlop M3 Winter Sports on Barrington Rd, thats me. The 8 handled very well with winter tires this week.

I really miss living in Il. I was watching WGN and they were @ Payton Hill interviewing the people out playing in the snow. Makes me homesick. :(

I got tickets to the Bulls game at 7:30pm. Will be free from 3-5pm. Let's do it! That is if there is no snow coming down. My 8 is covered and garaged.

Paulie,
I used to live in Naperville but now live in Az. It's funny to watch people out here drive in the rain. And within the last two weeks Flagstaff has had a total of two feet of snow. The local Ski area has received 55". For Az this is like the end of the world.

I lived in Naperville for about a year. They're building like crazy out there.

I didn't realize it snows in AZ. Yeah, I lived in Newport Beach, CA for a few years whenever it drizzled (rarely actaully rained) traffic would come to a crawl. I drive faster here in 3" of snow.

The warm weather lovers probably think you're crazy for being homesick. So what do you miss? Good pizza?

I am so happy I bought a 4x4 Thursday!

:D No problems so far. Just a little slip sliding away. But it goes where I want to go.

I had to use the snowblower 3 times in this storm. We had about 12" out here.

Connies Pizza does have a online ordering system, and I miss the Chicago skyline.
Also the Drivers out here are from everywhere and don't know how to drive at all.

Well not really.:p

Just to stir things up, The week end is looking like high 60's low 70's. Clear skies too.

hahaha. Go ahead and rub the weather in. It's 25 degrees here. Possible snow. I think it's time to go grab some fresh sliders hot off the grill. Maybe some onion rings too. Mmmmmm.

I soak up the warm weather with this web cam (http://www.walknet.net/mylife.shtml). The 2nd cam down is on the building next to where we lived.
