Hey Brent, how the heck are ya? Thinking Spring, yet?
Well, still trying to enjoy winter, if it would ever freakin' snow around here....wait...maybe tomorrow

I do have some grass plans in mind, got some manure on the beds, and will most likely need to find a good source for seed....I KNOW... HARTS~!!!

The local forecast must have fizzled. I heard the female newscaster ask the weatherman, "Where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"

I feel the pain. We only got 2-3 over the weekend. It was predicted 4-12 inches. DC must of stole a bunch from us. And the Colts lost the SB. We did get about 3 inches last night. Its suppose to snow over the next day or so. Maybe 4 more inches.

Man, its only been a few days and I'm already hating NO fan worst than NE fans. Congrates on the SB. Also, I forgot the Redskins have Danny boy as their owner. Makes Jerry Jones look good. But not Al Davis bad. I think. I a Redskins fan, too.
I hear there a foot or two come DC's way, again. It never snowed more than 6-8 inches, the 4 years I was there. Hope you all survive. I do have family on the east coast and the DC area.

I'm seeing some snow today. Most of my cohorts are stranded at home. I just selected 4HI on my Xterra's transfer case and motored on through it all - all 3 inches of it.

We've been using the wife's Xterra to get around in all this and I must say, it performs very well in the snow!

I have the Off Road model with the electric locking rear differential. 3"-4" of snow isn't exactly pushing this vehicle to the edge of its capability, but I did hit some steep hills that were polished by preceding traffic and the X just didn't care.

The pavement has just now been covered (2:55PM) yet school was canceled and I had 2 of our office workers call in this morning due to the weather, or should I say forecast.

We have over 20" on the ground and more on the way. The 4-matics REALLY go great in this mess.

We have a bunch of snow on the ground, not sure, doesn't matter til tomarrow. OTOH I have about 2/3 of a bottle of rum left, a decent supply of coke, and thanks to the snow a damn near limitless supply of ice.

Let it snow I'm warm inside!
