    We got 10 inches and its still coming down. Roads were decent coming in for midn9ites,best of all was nobody else on the road.

    I was lucky in that I took care of all my "bidness"" on Wednesday and I am sitting on restocked groceries in the cupboard and fridge,full tank of gas, garbage to the dump and stuff for my wifes birthday/St Valentines day on Friday.

    Up here we call them "Massholes". During the summer tourist time any car that goes by you in a blur excessively exceeding the speed limit all you see it a blur of red/white/blue license plate..thats them. Snow winter ski time even worse.

    We got lucky last Friday through Monday when our snow storm hit. Ended up with just over 12 inches but then the rains came. Freezing rain to start with on Monday but then it poured and warmed up. It washed most of the snow away in just a few short days and now this week we have been in the 50's. Would you believe we still have a few places at our place with snow on the ground. :mad:
    But as I said got the springer out for a little ride in today.:)

    Sure do hope these winter storms end real soon for all you guys back east.

    BI, we're gonna see mid 60s to low 70s next week - first good riding temps of the season - of course there's a chance of rain but it looks low so far. I'm also going to be working outside one of those days installing a brake booster/master cylinder & a new headlight switch. Ford says the new switch should get me back all my lights.

    Josh, you take the bike out remember to check your air pressure. Checked mine on the Springer today and both tires were at 28 PSI.
    I remember hearing last fall that they were predicting a cold winter. Don't know how they know that stuff but wished they'd put in a word for a early summer.
    It's raining really hard tonight and supposed to rain very hard all weekend and there saying local flooding now. One thing after the other.

    I cannot believe all the pussys who can't make it to work because of a little snow. Thats what it amounts to. You drive condition appropriate and you're fine. Wow massive call outs this morning. I laugh out loud with some of the lame call in speechs,lol.

    Further I am lucky I am freinds with the guys on the facility snow crew because I know they won't bury my car..they will probably steer for the abnoxious physicians cars first,lol. And let me tell you there are more thena few obnoxious and snooty physicians around here. F*cktards

    People don't know how to slow down and leave some room. They only know 50-70 while looking like they are connected to the guy in front of them. But here when we get the stuff, I stay home because the idiots go crazy. So I guess I'd be a wuss then.

    Thanks, I will check it. The school wood shop has a compressor and it's only a block away. I'm hoping that this last snowfall is it for the season here. There was black ice on the roads this morning but it's gone now as temps are stretching for 50.

    Wife and I were headed down a busy road going to Costco and a bunch of cars in front of us slowed down to where I had apply the brakes also. This guy behind all of us went berserk and was honking his horn. I looked in my side mirror and could see him yelling and pounding his steering wheel. So I gave him the hi sign and slowed down, he went crazy. Then turned left not to far later cussing all the way. Don't think he had an emergency to get to as he didn't look to be going very fast after he turned off. Just an impatient driver with an attitude who may have his own heart attack emergency coming.
