    Just when I get my hopes up again for the roads to stay clear it snows. Oh I'm so blue from it its pathetic. You should see it outside right now. The snow is just tumbling down. Again. It was single digit temps here yesterday and the day before. Then it "warms" up only to snow again. I hear the plows scraping the roads. I need a magical wand to make it go away. Well I feel better got that bitch of my chest. :gah: :gah:

    Same story here. We have over 100 inches this year so far and more today. They are talking more in about a week too. Wish I had a snowmobile, but it hasn't been worth buying one the last couple years. Last year we only had 19 inches. I could shovel most of the time with a pushbroom. :eek:

    That's one of the reasons Ileft snowy assed Syracuse, NY for CHarlotte, NC. We did have snow about a month ago. Bout 1/2" and I still don't know why they closed the schools. They're kinda dumb when it comes to snow. Talked to my sister last night and there was 4" on the ground as she was driving home. Didn't shut down anything... I had a great laugh 'bout that one...:)

    Add me and the old lady to that list of haters. As of the end of January, we had just over 44" in our area and we have had three more storms since. One of them with 10-12", the other two were about 4" each. We only had 28" for the season last year. I know we don't get as much as other areas of the country/continent but it still sucks. Plus we typically get wet heavy stuff that's a backbreaker to shovel since we are relatively close to the coast. I found a pretty cool site for those in the northeast that has weather history back to the mid 1800's. I found it when doing an air emmissions statement for work.

    We are hoping that we can eventually sell our house and move to a warmer climate. Maybe even while we are young enough to enjoy it. Ideally I would like a mobile home in the area we live now and a house somewhere warmer. I don't particularly care where. My wife is partial to Florida.

    It's bad to have it bad. I'm going thru withdrawals.
    I don't have any snow down here in Texas. What makes it worse it that it is 70 degrees and my bike crashed about a month ago and is still being repaired. I don't even have anything to clean or start up and listen to. Let's all hope the the Harley Gods will clear up the weather and speed up repairs so we can get back to what we love.

    I bought my 1st Harley '08 Anniv Ultra.
    Was suspose to be delivered Sat. but postponed because of snow until next Sat.
    Even so I'll have to wait for the snow to melt.
    I understand Concord, NH is closing in on an all time record snowfall.

    But it would be nice to have it in the basement just because I still don't believe I own it.

    I'm also getting sick of all the snow, after getting a storm here in Iowa last Mon. it started warming up, 63 yesterday afternoon, dropped 25 degrees by dinner time started raining, freezing rain, then woke up to 4" (of snow that is). What a frick'in tease at spring for a little while. Not as bad as some of you, 56" so far this year (avg. 30") just made 10th most for this area, another few inches will be in the top 5 since they've kept track.
