    VA hammered by snow AGAIN

    We got snow again last Saturday.


    So I decided that 3 years procrastination was quite enough and put up the crown moulding in the kitchen.

    Thanks Ldub for the How2 tips. Came out pretty good for a NOOB.


    We ended up with about a foot of snow. The Proton wasn't home for the pix. Bren had to work so I made her take it.

    Good Move

    Having her take the Proton.

    I know you don't mind practicing your recovery techniques, but really stinks when it's on your own vehicle...

    Looks like a typical CO snow...but we've been sending it out to VA and don't have much right now!

    I'm so jealous of you guys down there. When did the mid-atlantic region become the snow belt?
    That's the second good storm for you that went out to sea without coming north!

    We need snow bad up here! I'm still hopeful we can get two storms of 12"+ this month. If not, this winter will be a major disappointment.

    Ditto for San Diego although we got hammered with rain the week before and most cannot drive in rain here. Imagine if snow fell here......the body shops here would make millions.
    Hope everything is OK Tom as I did here the east is getting belted by the snow storms.

    Cool

    Hang in there Tom, the snow will eventually go away.

    BTW, the crown moulding looks great!.....

    Also like the whole banana republic/tropical thing y'all have going on with the chairs/ceiling fan...

    "I know you don't mind practicing your recovery techniques, but really stinks when it's on your own vehicle"

    The funny part is ... when Bren got home, she couldn't see the driveway & put the VX in the ditch. The VX is so awsome - it was able to pull itself right back out.



    "Wish we got that kind of snow."

    As long as it doesn't stick around for weeks ... & weeks ... & weeks. There were still some piles of snow in the parking lots from the 20+ inches we got the Friday before Christmas.



    "and what is all that white stuff in your pix?"

    It was kinda confusing to us too - we're not used to it - usually just a cupla inches at a time.



    "When did the mid-atlantic region become the snow belt?"

    See comment above

    Hope you get yours Mark We're supposed to get another 1-2 inches tonight.

    I remember the year I lived in Pittsburgh. We had just moved from Florida & the first snowstorm dropped 7 inches - we were in heaven.



    "Ditto for San Diego although we go hammered with rain the week before and most cannot drive in rain here"

    I know. I've only been to SD twice - rained both times.



    "Also like the whole banana republic/tropical thing y'all have going on with the chairs/ceiling fan"

    Aaaaaaand, another 6" last night. It's never-ending here. Every other day we get an accumulation. They are calling for more I believe on and off every day this week through Sun?

    Long live the STi and VX!

    Er, wait.... I take that back. The other !@#$s on the road make ANY driving in this stuff impossible. Imagine if Honolulu got snow, and drivers took to the road.... Ya, that's EVERY snow here. !@#$ing idiots... STAY HOME!
