Bring it on baby!!! I love snow and so far what we've had has been a joke!

[rattfink]

AMEN ITB!!
I totally agree with that statement. After living in Alaska for most of my youth, the snow we've seen here is silly. And the way people here drive in it!!???

[matthiasj]

We got a good 5 inches here.

Rattfink, I agree about the poor driving. I just saw a nasty crash between a Semi and a BMW.... Semi 1 BMW 0 in fact the Bemmer was totaled... thankfullly the guy was standing out side of it...

I chased two of my dogs all morning. Thought it would be easy to find them with the snow...Not! every time I went to investigate a set of tracks, they turn out to be rabbit or cat. Almost got stuck twice.( yes, I was prepared). finally, this guy called and said he had both of them. I get to his house, the Golden had six packed snow balls hanging for his chest hair about 3-4" in dia. The Dalmatian, could barely walk, looks like she pulled out her hip. Both were soaking wet.
The roads were not to bad, some streets hadn't been plowed at all. I had no problem though. I learn years ago, growing up in up state NY, how to drive in the snow..... with respect!
