Absofkinlutely, just did the driveway. Water coverd by heavy slush. Much rather have real snow. Frosty, frozen crystals. Now a howlin wind that foze the water run off. Went to park the Jeep on the driveway ......... it slid backwards on the flash freeze. 1/3 bag of sand and we're solid again.

I forgot to mention that I drove Anissa into work today knowing the weather that was forecasted. The snow didn't start until almost 4:00 but it started hard. Coming home, I was driving no more than 40km/hr at the most as it was pretty much white out conditions. Naturally of course, you still had the azzhats passing you doing at least 90km/hr. We saw 7 vehicles off the road going home. Go figure, people JUST DON'T LEARN!

So how wide was you smile Dad?

That Grasshopper surely has the "Pebble".

I love to do that too. For many years we've done that with all the 4x4's I've owned. I took the X out on Sunday with our 10cms of fresh stuff before it was plowed.

H has lost some of her enthusiasm for it.

Why go to the Caribbean when you got such beautiful weather here?

That sounds bad. We're already above 0 now so it's starting to melt and the 10 cm of rain is to start soon.

Take care.

Today was probably the worst day that we could've got the first snow fall on. I had to pick up my car from the dealer today. Problem was I still had my summers on. The car wasn't starting so I wasn't able to get it up on the ramps to put my winters on. To make matters worse, right after I got it, the VDC off, ABS, and slip light turned on. I didn't have a chance to go back in, had to get to Buffalo. So all in all, it wasn't the best drive lol.

Was anyone driving around when the wind picked up today? I don't think I've ever felt a car rock from the wind so much before.
