Default No Go: Too much SNOW!

I thought I would post a couple pics of what the latest snow dropped on us here in Philly. My little blue car is safely tucked away in the carriage house. From the looks of it, unless we get hit with a heat wave, there ain't no way I'm going to have AIS this month. Stay safe and warm fellas!

I don't even want to be reminded. There is too much of this white stuff everywhere.

Last Night we had another 18 - 20" of snow dumped on us. For the past few weeks we have gotten a storm on Saturday and another on Wednesday each week, now the weather station says snow flurries tomorrow again and on saturday with another possible noreaster on wednesday/thursday next week. I am ready for the looney bin if this keeps up! You know it is bad when you can't find your mailbox because the snow is higher than it! I am praying for a heatwave of at least 45 degrees! At this rate the P-Car won't come out of hibernation until august!

It's getting deep up here in MA. I am running out of places to put it. My snowblower can barely clear the mtns on each side of my driveway. I had to dig my Audi out 4 times today. The first time, the plows had buried it over the hood....nice. The 993 is tucked away nicely in the garage with the battery tender on it.

Amateurs. The Lake Tahoe area can see 10-20 feet of snow in the month of February alone. Of course very few CA natives know how to drive in it, but that's a different story.

Which they're anxiously waiting for beginning next Tuesday? Over 50F at Sugar Bowl today. Absolutely wonderful on the groomed runs. Looked to be so "warm" up there that I took the snow tires off, and back on went the 996 Turbo wheels with the 'kooks.
