We got just enough "first snow of the year" to encourage the performance of interesting road stunts by the area's doofii ... :roll:

Now the sun is shining, the chainsaws are buzzing, the snow shovels are scrapping, and all is well.

Wil lit his cigar and looked out the window this morning, he saw people shoveling walkways up to their knees in it. Er, welcome to Earth? Here's what the boardwalk looks like and yes, there are people on the beach!

Final tally here was about 15 inches. I cleared at least 12 inches from the driveway when I got home from work last night, and then another couple of inches awaiting me this morning.Final tally this morning before I started clearing the back deck: 7 inches.
Also found out that the battery in the Pathfinder was on it's last legs. Got that replaced this afternoon.

Holy crap! That was an ordeal!
I finally got home after quite a trip. My luggage still hasnt arrived at my house yet. We were scheduled to leave Harrisburg at 630 EST, change in Chicago for an hour, then be home by 1035 PST last night...didnt work out that way.
We were delayed in H'burg for 4 hours, and they kept pushing us back until the terminal was all but closed for the night...we caught the very last flight out. We were told that if the incoming plane to get us couldnt leave its point of origin then we would be stuck there and they would have to put us up in hotels. After shuffling every passenger around, one by one, to find us each a way home by using 2 to 3 layovers and multiple airlines, they got us all fixed up with a game plan. The little plane made it and we were the last flight out of HIA.
We got into Chicago in the middle of the night to snowfall from an entirely different storm system, but fortunately its Chicago and they are no amateurs when it comes to snow. But we had many hours to kill so we tried to get some sleep, along with a bunch of other stranded passengers from other inbound eastern flights...people strewn everywhere, trying to sleep on airport chairs and floors. And cleaning crews wont stop cleaning just so you can sleep...i bet im not the only one out there needing a chiropractor, bad!
It was weird, ive been going through O' Hare for over 30 years, ive never seen it so empty...only one Starbucks was open, and had a very disinterested and slow moving girl working it who just didnt want to be there. Neither did i. But we had a blast, got to hang out with family. Got to visit Gettysburg...heard some odd sounds coming from the woods and hills around us, we all heard it and couldnt explain it. Wasnt reenactors as it was cold, windy, the off season and the sun was just about below the horizon. Hmm, oh well...chalk it up to "i dont know". Cant wait to go back and visit again in the spring.....and my luggage just arrived at my house and everything inside is intact. Overall, a success!
Well, theres the trip report you didnt ask for...check out the pics...
