Well I know how all the folks on the east coast feel as I was lucky to get out of Philadelphia on flight to the west cost Wednesday morning. It took 4+ hours to get from Homeville, PA. to the Philadelphia airport in my brothers jeep and it is only an hour drive on a normal day. Weather conditions did get worse as the day progressed and I am just glad to have been lucky to have had an early flight even thoughit was delayed by an hour.

This is what it looked like at my brothers home at 7:30am on Wednesday and the Jeep that got me to the airport and out his front yard.

Hope eveyone is doing OK and not stuck in the snow back their.

Busa - :rofl:

 

My commute this week has been about normal despite waking up one morning with 16 inches outside the window. I come downstairs, my car is waiting for me, running, cabin up to a nice 70 degrees, heated seats nice and warm, no snow on it because it has been under cover all night, positioned by the valet guys to be right outside the front door...of the condo complex! Driveway is always plowed and shoveled. :p

 

Once on the road it is a different story - I am in a city that does not plow snow out the way properly. End result is many streets are impassable as a plow runs one lane down the road. The cars on each side are now plowed in and so to they dig themselves out by shoveling snow back onto the road....making the road a sometimes blocked or best case an obstacle course until enough cars tamp the snow down to make it sort of driveable.

 

Still it is fun to take the tin top all wheel drive around these back streets and play low speed rally driver.

 

I have been looking for a moment to get the Seven out for its midwinter run. No chance - I need the snow to melt and the salt to be washed off the road. It is time for its NJ road safety inspection in the next 30 days.

For the second time in 24 years we have enough snow to extend our sliding/tubing hill that we have in our backyard up onto our lower deck. It gives us a little more distance and when we set up a jump at the bottom a little more air time! And if we get a couple more snow storms maybe we can start from the upper deck or the roof! :)
