I know it's bad out there. My son had a 3 day job to do in Scottsdale. He had to rub it in a bit, until he flew back in during the will chill of 30 below...I welcomed him back to reality.

Awesome pic Mrmiata! The weather is crazy. South Louisiana is in line for more sleet and snow tomorrow 1 to 3 inches and it should be below freezing for the next 48 hours! Can't wait to play in the snow hahaha

LOL....I like that guy's idea....mine would freeze right now. It wasn't too bad today. It did hit -14°. We trucked right on thru the day. I will just appreciate spring and summer a little more after this winter. Suzuki failed me this morning at 2 am, but by noon when I returned home, it liked zero and started right up. I have an anti freeze leak somewhere on her, but I am not in the mood to look for it right now for some reason. The ole' hoe didn't fail me though. She started right up. Looks like we will get to more normal winter temps by end of the week. 180 keeps sending those damn clippers down here. Guess he's trying to share some of his Canadian air with us all.

Light snow in Spartanburg SC. Started mid afternoon and before the roads were even completely covered 100's of accidents reported. They just don't know about the white stuff and hard braking here. If it slides brake harder. The 4x4 guys are the worst cause they reach higher speeds then it's time to stop and oh snit!

We always say you spot the 4x4's in a snow storm as they are much farther into the fields.

You just have to love Indiana weather. We went from snow, to rain, to snow, and back to rain right now. Don't know if it is freezing or not, as I haven't ventured out yet. The Zuki and I will find out soon....lol. Still have about 8" of snow on the ground, but the rain is pounding it down pretty fast. Flooding anyone? Where is April when you need it?
