Just cleaned off the 8 and took it for a spin or twenty (literally)

So much fun in the snow!

got about 10-12" but my 8 was parked nicely in the garage so it was fine today. had to shovel a ton yesterday to clear the driveway and then again this morning to get to the gym after the plow came by again and tried to trap me but it's all good.

my streets have a nice layer of packed frozen solid snow over them. Gatta slip and slide to get out of the neighborhood.

It's def fun and a good time! but, my street is kinda narrow, so you risk sliding into the snow drifts on the sides created by the plows.

Is it just me or is anyone else DONE with this snow?

...so much for a "dusting" that the meteorologist expected!

Yes! I'm done! I scooted out at 0945 when there was about an inch on the ground so I could get my daughter registered for soccer. I'm glad that was all there was.

Yeah, 2 inches my azz. There's at least 6 inches down here and according to the weather thingy....it ain't stoppin til 2am.

The minute I can afford one, i'm buyin a hoopty.

Lol they go from a dusting, to 1-3, to 3-5, to 5-10, and like you said it won't stop until early Sunday morning. It has pretty much stopped where I live so hopefully I won't have to go back out and re-dig my car out.

Daughter is pretty much stuck inside in Arlington, VA right now. here's a few pics she sent me. She can't get out of the complex gate right now as it's frozen shut. There was a huge tree that came down on somebody's truck which you will see in one of the photos. These are from early this morning on 2/6/10.
Sorry.....couple of shots are through the screen on the window, but what the hell!


Going to keep them small, you'll have to click on them to enlarge.

Two more......................Oh, and it's still snowing there and is expected to do so through the evening.
This is right outside the Ft. Meyer area close to the Pentagon.
Glad I'm in Florida, but I would like to go snow skiing out West of the city!
