Re: Is it sping yet?
mikeandanne - I don't like you...
This is what my driveway looked like yesterday, after I tried to make it into the garage without stopping (I failed - got hung up 4 feet short!).
The left and right edges are where the tires were (obviously)... the messed up stuff in between is where undercarriage of my Mustang was working like a snow plow... the snow was about 4-6" deeper than my road clearance. Then I had the privilege of digging out. Enjoy FLA while you can... but we are doing what we can up here to send winter your way! Polar Vortex -- global phenomenon, or Canada's way of evening the playing field?!?!?

Re: Is it sping yet?
IMO it ain't never gonna happen again. This Winter in Texas sucks, sleet and ice today. Too cold to fix my battery tray so I can take boat to mech for engines install. , Yeah I am a sissy when it comes to cold weather, bring on my Texas Summers.

Saw this at my marina today...
How some Canadian boaters cope with winter...
Yes... that is a snowman on the foredeck.

Re: Is it sping yet?
No pics but misery woe and misery, 16 degree and 1 inch of sleet last night. The day before 80 degrees. Just to make you snow bound people feel better we down south are stuck inside for a whole couple of days. Oh well the Phoenix is getting two new engines, new water tanks, bottom and bilge cleaning.

Re: Is it sping yet?
I was sure that being on the bow of a boat, that it was a snowwoman, and that the cameraman preserved her modesty by carefully positioning that running light...Yes... that is a snowman
It has snowed so much here in Maryland that I, gulp, bought a plastic snow shovel to keep on the boat.
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

Re: Is it sping yet?
Well believe it or not I had to use a scoop shovel on the deck of my boat about 3 years ago, guess what, it was way down south in Texas. That day we had 9 inches of snow. Aint supposed to happen that way.

Re: Is it sping yet?
Just turned Spring about 3 hours ago and 75 degree here, but nasty for the next 5 days. However boat is getting two new hearts at mechanics.
