    Hey, it "ISN'T" snowing in Northeast Pennsylvania today. :clap:

    BUT----I went out to the garage, cranked up the kerosene heater and an hour later packed it up. Concrete too cold and I can still see my breath in the garage. We'll see what next week brings.

    Guys!!! just remember to drive slower and leave lots of room between you and the other people who dont drive in snow regularly.The stuff is slick and will bit you in the A$$ if your not paying attention.Enjoy!!! and be safe...

    The ol' beater fired right up on the first try. Surprised the hell out of me. Had to let it warm up for about 10 minutes, because it has no choke.

    As you can see, my driveway is just starting to ice over. :rolleyes:

    A crappy pic of driving through my neighborhood.

    I went and got a bite to eat. Then noted the big, empty, slushy looking parking lot in the old closed down Publix grocery store on the way back. Couldn't resist sliding the a$$ end around a few times. :rofl2:

    I think we can put up with one day of snow every few years. But don't worry, I'll be laughing while your under snow for weeks or months! :biglaugh:

    All this snow will be gone tomorrow. Supposed be 43 and sunny, and in the 70's by the weekend.

    same here, just what we needed- thanks Benji !

    But..we're just getting started today...they say maybe 8-12 inches. At least the Mavs in the garage. Most of the chores are done, fuel pump to the rear along with the cooler can installed, Cal-tracs on, dash guage pod built and installed. All the wiring cleaned up and re-routed. Ac unit out from under dash, new dash cap on and dash repainted. Disc brakes on..hope they work right..

    Yeah i know it's good fun to kick the Canadian Maverick / Comet guys when were down in 1 1/2 feet of snow but i think if we all think positive that we are all done with the snow IT will stay away.:bs::16suspect:D:jumping:

    Brad, i'm just foolin' around about the snow up here in the frozen North as we really don't have too much snow anymore........ but you have tons....holy crap. We had a mountain of it last year so i know how you feel, i hope your snow melts soon cause at that rate you may never find your Maverick until the fall. Good luck you just made a Canadian feel not so bad about the snow we have.... wow 107 inches, crazy.:(:90::eek::D
