Winter Stories?

[kodiak]

Yeah, when I’m driving in the snow I spend more time looking behind me then ahead of me. I almost got hit today because some one thought there F150 4x4 was some kind of a snow ninja. He did a left turn out of a parking lot to fast and started to slide sideways right towards me. I pulled forward and he missed me by 2 feet.

I wanna do a blizzard party at "Larryland"

Well, you'll have to watch the weather a week in advance, & start driving due north at just the right time...

But once you've cleared that obstacle, you, my Friend, have a standing invitation to any "doin's" at ANY time of the year... except for that one week in May when I won't be home...

Larry, I hear you're getting dumped on - snow that is. We're not seeing the snow too much, but holy @#$% it's cold. -28F, but -48F with the windchill.

Even in my garage, my navigation screen is a bit funky in the morning. But how sweet it is to have underground parking at work!

But I gotta say, the Optima redtop gel battery is amazing when I was starting the VX in the mornings before the garage. Being from the eastern states, the car does not have a block heater - but it only took a minute to warm up. But what really drove me nuts back then was after driving a block the windshield started to ice up on the inside, had to pull over and wait another few minutes for the defrost to catch up.

All in all, I find the the VX laughs at winters (when she has the right tires on).

Cheers,
Happy holidays.:grinr::gring:

That's odd...we have a surplus of those too. As a matter of fact, I almost got T-BONED, TWICE, in a three block stretch...both of them blew through stop signs because they were involved in activities OTHER than driving.
Were it not for my paranoia, & Suzys extraordinary sure footedness, I'd have been making a trip to the body shop...

That was Friday, Saturday was a good day. Jim came into town & we spent the afternoon mapping out routes to Moab, drinking lots of coffee & playing video games. Probably the closest either one of us will come to tearin' it up on a MX bike again...but man, back in the day...

Saturday evening/Sunday morn turned into the first blizzard of the season.
All the usual symptoms...bitterly cold below zero temps, snow, wind, etc.

Char & Adam (two of my neighbors in the building) came down to "Larryland", and we spent a fun filled afternoon having many "adventures in mixology", watching movies (the MST3K treatment of "I was a teenage werewolf" was by far, the hit of the day), turned out to be one of the greatest blizzard parties of all time...

Yesterday, Suzy dragged belly all the way through & out the parking lot. Only had to stop & back up for another run at it a couple of times...then helped the same two neighbors dig their vehicles out...ahhhhh, life is good in the vast frozen wasteland...

This morning is still twelve below zero...

No snow, but very cold... it's 8 outside right now (warming to a high of 12 later). We are supposed to get some light snow in the next couple of days. Orlando is lookin' better all the time!

I flew into Chicago last Monday and noticed you had some snow. When I left Salt Lake we had none but when I called Linda to check in she informed me there was 8" on the drive. Got another 10" Saturday and more on the way, should be measuring in feet by the end of the week. Did I mention traffic sucks in Chicago?
