SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!!! That is a GREAT scene from Coming to America!
LOL. That was Randy Watson with the band.

I also liked Reverend Brown:

Girl, you look so good, someone ought to put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit!

That snow looks awesome Roger, very jealous. Saw the blue on the radar today and was wondering if it was really coming down or not. Just wet and cold down here.

I hope so too James. I just can't wait to drive it! The only time I've driven one was your '88 S4 to/from OCIC back in August, and I really couldn't get on it because...oh nevermind.

12.5 inches and now it's dropped below 30. Going to be a fun day around here.

Hope you guys dig out faster than we did!

Crazy schools have been closed all week here. No reason I can see, really.

Roger, most likely can't answer that with any sort of accuracy. But my guess is 10 that drive quite well, and 3 that don't yet.

Roger blames me for his cars sitting out, I have 3 cars at his place in line for work plus the 4 here being worked on.

12.5 sounds about right in my neighborhood as well. The snow was almost up to my calves when I went out to get the paper this morning. I don't think the city of mckinney even owns a plow.... i suppose a front-end loader would work...

OK - you Texas guys are acting like wimps when it comes to snow. Here in SE Pennsylvania, we had 40-50 inches in 5 days this week. Just finished digging the last one out yesterday.

Had 20 inches a week before Christmas. Our average annual snowfall is 20". We've had more snow in the past 5 days than we had in the entire three winters of '07, '08, and '09. We've had more snow so far this winter than we've had in the past SEVEN years. And, in the typical winter we get our heaviest snows in late February through late March. More snow forecast for Monday/Tuesday.

Do you think either of my 928's are being driven??? (well - the '89 track car is in the process of getting the new timing belt installed that Roger sent during the first of the last two "snow dumps", so it couldn't be driven anyway).

If you'd like to see REAL snow, drop by anytime between now and August - it will still be here. About 10,000 years ago, the glaciers were covering what is now my back property. May be there again soon if this keeps up.

Think warm thoughts!!

Thanks Gary, we just needed to be set straight.
Our yearly average snow fall is about 2 inches and usually lasts 12 hours. Maybe with a 1/2 inch of ice in there too. We got more yesterday than in the last 4 winters too.

They are showing video of the highways on the news and on one shot, I saw one 18 wheeler and one car. This place shuts down when we get 2 inches. 12.5? Hell, rioting will start soon.

If I lived in Pennsylvania I would expect the snow, in Texas.....not so much. When we do get snow it rarely sticks, but this time is a record breaker! The cities don't have snow plows - no one does for that matter. Heck, I don't even know anyone that owns an actual snow shovel! The beauty of the whole thing is - it will all be gone by tomorrow
