I'm at the shoreline in CT, and yuck, we got 6+ inches. Last night it was no fun watching buffoons slip and slide all over the roads.

It's still snowing, even now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

While living in NortDakota, Wifey & I went to Disneyland in Dec. just after Christmas for our anniversary. ND was 10 below and LA was 60.... We WERE in T shirts while everyone else was in their parkas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Employees were passing out slips of paper apologizing for their inclement weather (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

almost 40 with patchy blue sky in beautiful downtown BORING ORYGUN (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I just got inside after spending 3 hours plowing my driveway. 6" so far, and it's still snowing (lightly for now). If the forecast is accurate I will have to do it 2 or 3 more times with my little lawn tractor and a 3 foot blade. We're having more than 20 people over tomorrow to watch the SCCA Runoffs.

30F, 6-8" driftlets to a foot. shoveled the driveway this morning while Joy made snowcreatures. i'm sure it will get old in a hurry but after 8 yrs of unpaved driveway, no garage, it was kinda nice. if it doesn't get any worse than this this winter we'll be doing okay. calling for mid-teens tonight, maybe another dusting osf snow, then clear and cold through the week until next weekend when the rains should wash the salt away.

we're taking the Subaru to the PCA board member transition meeting tomorrow afternoon, and i'm driving the company Eurovan at least between the start of snow and the next rainfall - but soon i'll have the 911 starting its suspension upgrade and it'll be down until spring ...

Cape Cod got about 5-6 inches of wet sloppy snow. Each shovel full was like a bucket of water! But the driveway is clear! Now it's raining.

The weather here in the east??? It sucks!!! So, I started stripping the 914 project and of course found some rust I didn't expect. Oh well.....that's why I have a welder! Snow belongs in the mountains where it can be enjoyed!

I'm in a dead spot this time. Only about 8" here so far, in
nearby areas about 20". It's about 25 and not too windy,
very comfortable shoveling.

Somewhat off topic, many of you in the other states wouldn't
have heard. The idiot snow plow drivers are objecting and
threatening to walk out if the new city contract goes as it
is now, where they require GPS phones. Damn good idea,
as boston has more than enough corruption and public crooks.
You have to use technology to get things done cheaper and
better, and the side benefit is no more guys doing driveways
when they're on the clock.

Let's see, you have an easy, probably well-paid job for a
government body, and there's hundreds of thousands of
people out of work who could come right in. Strike! Go ahead!
Dumbasses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)

Sorry I got nothing to say about 914's. The car is in the air for
the foreseeable future and I have about 50 things to do before
it even gets new oil and valve adjustment.
