    I know I posted this in another thread, but here is a shot of my VX yesterday morning. They said this is the most snow Reno has gotten since 2005. I moved here in 06 so this is the most snow I have experienced out here. Plus, the morning temp today was -3, which is the coldest I have experienced out here.

    Of course, Reno's winter and Chicago's winter are two completely different animals. Anyway:





    As for VX stories...well, yesterday around lunch I was sitting at my desk with my headphones on. I faintly heard one of my co-workers complaining about being stuck in the middle of the street just outside the parking lot. I sat there and waited about 2 minutes expecting what would happen. Sure enough, she came over and was like, "ummm, I'm stuck, can you help me?" I pulled her car out with my tow strap in about 30 seconds.

    Bart, we are getting that storm in Milwaukee now. I have some Riff Raff specials (General Grabber AT2) severe snow rated tires. They really are nice. I'm always happy to get that 1st snow, but winters-as you know-are extremely long here, I'm almost sick of it already.

    Your beast looks awesome!

    Must be a record in MD cause we got snow twice before Xmas. Kind of unheard of considering it is generally 60-65 this time of year. Sadly, last nights snow ended up getting mushed out by the rain that followed. This morning was an awesome slush mess that makes morning commutes !@#$ing lovely.... er, wait, that's every morning on the Capital Beltway.

    I remember in '02 which was our last big one....



    Though I still would prefer this....

    +1 - We really should organize an East Coast beach event sometime, either in the Outer Banks or MD's Eastern Shore.

    I plan on posting some winter pics soon, but today it's in the 80's. We are suppose to have a front move in tonight and drop us into the 50's with a high around 65 tommorrow. Actually our coldest time of the year is Jan./Feb., so I might have to wait till then to post winter pics. oh and what is all that white stuff ya'll have on your VX's ?
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
