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?!?!?

To borrow a line from my favorite possum lodge intellectual:

Keep your stick on the ice, we're all pulling for ya!

No pics but misery woe and misery, 16 degree and 1 inch of sleet last night. The day before 80 degrees. :shock: 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. :D

Yes... that is a snowman
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...

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!

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. :lol:
