The two feet last week slowed things a bit! Didnt drive for two days
Yesterdays storm was just slush but freezing weather makes ice.
Hope to see you guys at Mount Dora in March.
Cant wait!

brrrrrr In the deep freezer for quite a while Wind chills are in the below zero s about -19 Snow today about 10 to 12 inches.
It drifted a lot last nite too . The roads were slush and poorly plowed early today, They salted the roads and it was just enough to make things sloppy.
They plowed again a few hours ago . We have been lucky so far , today was the first real storm we have had to date.

Got four inches of slush yesterday. Last night in the single digits. Now that 4 inches of slush is 1 1/2 inches or frozen ice. Today was ground hog day, but my M151 didn't bother peeking out of the shed to check if it would see it's shadow. Is it April yet :( :?:

How cold is it here? I don't know anymore.

Last weekend it was 75 and sunny,

Yesterday morning it was 6. Yesterday my diesel Mercedes didn't care that the cat had a vet appointment at 0700, so we took the M151A2... nope the its too cold for the Mutt to start either.

Tomorrow afternoon it will be 68, and sunny. I'm going to wish the hardtop comes off easier so I could go topless in the warm sunshine.


I have to admit that hardtop with a heater is nice! when the temps are low, the skys are cloudy, and the wind is howling.

Sorry no pictures on this one, the camera got too cold!

According to NWS the snowfall from Juno in nearby Worcester was 34.5". We got a couple inches less. This last one dumped another 12-14, and the next one could bring another 2'. At this rate, I don't expect I'll be able to find my M416 until some time in April.
