    Snolocalypse!!! Snowlocaust!!

    Well, lots of closings here today, and I'm working remotely. Will likely head outside in a couple of hours to proceed with snow removal efforts... 2.5' of snow thus far, and still falling at about 2"/hr.

    Oh, and UT's are standing by on 2M lulz.

    Wow, it's The Polar Vortex November. Only November. Doesn't lake effect snows ease up in Jan/Feb?

    I don't have the snow tires on it yet but my Pugsley laughs at your feeble snow flounderings! :rofl:

    Now if I could only find time to ride the damned thing. That, and quit getting assorted weekend colds. No fun to ride with a clogged up head.

    Yeah, more or less. It's not really too cold, but it's windy and the lake effect band is set up in one place, and not moving anywhere... I think it's slowing a little now, where I'm at.

    I dunno about that... Coupla areas are parking lots right now. Snow in my yard is waist-high. Drifts are killer too, coming up over my waist in the drive.

    I know naught of this "snow" thing of which you speak.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I guess in snow that deep, all you can see are the reflective vests...and maybe the 3-foot long HT antenna.

    You being da Pope know about edible snow in the desert and why it vanishes the next day. Then there's Miami snow and two of Phoebe Snow, railfans know about the other one but I digress..........

    It's cold as a witch's chest lump here, the bushtits are frozen but thankfully not covered with snow... yet.
