We got a dusting in the Boston area. Just enough to cover the grass. The dog wouldn't go outside. She just shook and stared up at me as I dragged her out.

Don't think they salted the roads but the 914 won't be coming out until spring. Time for some winter projects.

NO SNOW.....NO SNOW....NO SNOW

While I don't mind it that much, it brings Skiiers and Snowboarders to the mountains and they totally fuch up the roads. They all think they are racers in their SUVs and Rice Rockets. If they don't hit each other, they hit the side of the mountain.

Secondly, they have absolutely no brains when it comes to putting chains on. They wait until they spin out or can't go any farther and then park in the roadway, blocking it to put the chains on.

I'm gonna buy a HumVee and run over their asses this year!

4th day of fog here. No sun, no rain, no snow. I cross the Tacoma Narrows (galloping Gertie fame) everyday. They are building a new one and they are at the spinning cables part. The iron workers are up on a catwalk way above the water and they are never out of the clouds right now. I couldn't do it. No horizon and being that high in the air. I'd go up there on a clear day but, not in the fog. Gawd I hate the fog.

Oh my

i used to be one of those kids. i would ditch school and drive up to big bear solo in my VW FOX. what an awesome ski car that was. most of the time i was on the road alone, b/c calfornians stop driving when it rains or snows. i would wait until no one was around. slow down just a bit, then yank really hard on the parking brake. truthfully, it was a great learning experience, b/c you get to learn how the car will handle when you lose control. of course, i wasn't doing it for the learning experience. i was just some dumb kid.

oh ya. 65 and sunny in Denver today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)
little cold driving to work though with the top off (42)

Took my last spin in the car last night. We are in the negative degrees Celsius and it started snowing yesterday afternoon. Squalls coming, and bringing 5 inches of snow or so. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Ron, why run them over? Just put a wench on the Hummer, then charge them, to pull um out of the drifts and ditches, Cash Only.

And if that doesn't work for ya, on the nights you can't sleep, you could go around and SLITS their tires (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Yeah but you guys have to deal with SMOG, traffic and a bunch of damn jerks everyday!

None of the above here, fresh air, no traffic and you don't have to wait in line at the grocery store for 30 minutes to buy one thing..... I used to hate that when I lived in SoCal...

I'd rather go hunting off my front porch! ( I did that this morning)

that's why i want snow here! that would take care of most of those things real quick!

here, everybody just STOPS driving when it starts to rain. can you imagine how much fun a foot of snow would be in the bay area?

i grew up driving in the snow. whenever i go up in the mountains in the winter, it amazes me how bad most people drive in the snow.
they either don't drive at all or they think because their SUV has 4WD they can just drive like on a dry road.

i've seen more cars in the ditch on a weekend in tahoe than all winter in germany ...
