    Not much snow here, only inch or two, but cold for us... 8* this morning, up to 20s, high winds, lots of power out. Had day off, shut the plant today instead of Wed, beer and football and stay warm.

    Makes you wonder If you'll ever be able to get your bike out for a ride again with all that snow.
    We are going to be up to 46 today and it's pretty mild out, kind of nice.

    Only 12 ° here today, but supposed to go up to 30° tomorrow,Mon&Tues up to 37°:D...then get cold again:(Seems like the same as your weather pattern just a day behind...With the high winds we had,there were some pretty deep drifts, the Mailbu in front of the shelter in above pic was buried to the top of the windows,but the wife's Buick only had about 5" around it....It was powdery snow so it wasn't too bad to clean up...
    How'd you make out?? I wonder how Roadster guy made out....

    We were fine. That super storm sandy last year cleared out all the trees that were weak. So the high winds didn't knock trees into power lines.

    I guess this punches a hole in the global warming theory . . .

    I'm glad I don't live on the east coast. Even my sister who lives up by Greensboro wants to either move to Floriday or Arizona.

    Bottom line is that no matter where you live you will get two or three bad storms each year...One down and one or two to go...
