I got up this morning and dug the Avalanche and the Jeep out their Snow banks. Not too bad but pretty bad for around here.
First I had to dig my way down the driveway, past the 92 (BTW that Storm Proof cover I bought is doing a good job) to the street. ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/DSC01096.jpg");) Once I get past the 92, I get the passanger side of the Avalanche dug out so I can start it and warm it up. ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/DSC01101.jpg");) I make my way around the back of the Avalanche. ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/DSC01093.jpg");) And get a nice pic of our Cherokee.... ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/DSC01102.jpg");) At this point I'm tired of digging so I just get in the Avalanche and put it in 4L and drive over the snow bank that the city plow driver was kind enought to plow up nearly 5ft high right right next to it on the drivers side. Fun Fun. Take it easy guys. Will |

Best workout I get every year is shoveling snow. I love snow like that. Wish we got more of that here.

Behind the fence in my backyard, my property slopes down a hill about 75ft to a tidal wetland that is typically a grass swamp with a narrow creek that runs through it to the Chesapeake Bay. It attracts all kinds of critters and birds and it pretty nice except for the Mosquitoes that it breeds there, the size of dragonflies.
Anyhow, after the last big snow on December 19th and subsequent rain and melt, the wetland turned into a lake providing me with instant waterfront property. It will be interesting to see what it looks like this time around. Attach file: backyardLake01.jpg (442.40 KB) backyardLake02.jpg (458.91 KB) |

Well, I wouldn't say whiners.  A little bit of show does cause some minor difficulties. But, until they start putting up poles like this to let the snowplow drivers know where the road ends, you ain't seein' much snow.Attach file: 011_8A.jpg (447.66 KB) |

We only got about a foot on Friday/Saturday. Unfortunately, it's freezing cold, so none will melt, and we're going to get 10" - 12" Tuesday/Wednesday.
Going to be some roof cave-ins I'm afraid. Glad I drove the vette down the block to rotate the tires on Friday morning. |

I didn't think Reno got that much snow. I had been wanting to move out that way.

Well, normally, we don't. This winter sucked more than I can remember (26 years), not because of the snow but because of the lack of sunshine. Most of the snow stays over on the mountain. What usually happens at my house (1000 ft. above the Reno valley) is that we get 6 inches or so and it's gone the next day. We usually have 300 days of sunshine and hit 55-60s a couple days per month in Jan-Feb. The sun's pretty intense even at 60 you see people running around in shorts. Normally, the snow stays on the mountain and we have pretty decent weather. If you decide to check out Reno, let me know. Ain't perfect but, I'm never leaving. |

Another friend of mine in the club has been fighting for his life after an episode of congestive heart failure. His wife emailed me yesterday and his "car barn" collapsed under the weight of the snow. He had about 20 antique cars and collectibles in there including a few classic Vettes. He is still in the hospital and his son's were going down to check out the damages, but first reports are that the cars are squashed!!!

Thanks for bringing back all the great memories that flashed as a result of these pics. Don, some nice shots of the harborage. Keep the homefires burning. It'll all be over before too long. At least you'll have the pictures to prove it.
