Think it is going to be close to 60F in Syracuse NY tomorrow.  I would like to personally thank the rest of the country of taking your fair share of our snow.  You guys rock!

I can relate to your feelings, Kyle! I remember winters up there. My brother over in Auburn has been feeling a little frustrated though, because he was hoping to be busy enough with his snowplowing service to pay off his new rig this winter. Doesn't look too promising!

Were still trying to get rid of the 2 feet of snow from the blizzard and now we're supposed to get all sorts of rain dumped on us tomorrow. With the snow still down we could have some serious flooding problems. Might be just as well. I'm sure Philly could use a good colonic! ;D

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a snowblower!

My 80+ year old neighbor brought his over the other day to help me while I was shoveling and had it cleared in no time!

I asked him how much that thing cost, and he said he didn't remember, but it was surely cheaper than a heart attack!..........SOLD!

Does the snow in your place stay till the Spring?  We have it for week max before it melts down.

Raining like hell here in NY. If this was snow, we would be screwed.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I don't miss it!

That lump to the right is a 23 T-bucket under tarps and plywood and the motorhome is a full basement model. That was a 2 day storm in Twin Peaks, in the mountains of socal. Right around 4 feet worth and that was common at least 2 or 3 times every winter...we called it Grim Peaks in the winter. We lived and worked on the mountain...it was an awesome place to live and raise kids when it was less than 40% fulltime residence. Sadly it is no longer as nice to live there, with the on set of modern internet on the mountain, the Orange County Nazi's (as they were coined) moved up there fulltime and telecommuted over the internet and never lost the "it's all about me" attitude and thought they were all better than the "locals". It's over 80% fulltime residence now and the systems and roads there were never designed for that saturation of people all the time. It's like summer weekends all the time now with to many people and to many cars always goin Mach 5!

By the way, I have 3 words for this season "I HATE WINTER"

...exactly...
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
