BTW, I didn't even have to shovel, it was all gone in 24 hrs.
(I don't even own a Snow shovel.)

Snow, why its almost gone here, very soon I should be able to get out of the cul-de-sac and get to the freeway! That said we will probably get a dump like you guys down east, temps in the high 40's. On the down side I have 6 inch's of water on my rear lawn.

Here's a picture of my snow removal equipment. Not nearly as neat as Andrew's or Mike's but it gets my vehicles in the driveway, and that is my main objective. Plus I get a kick out of pushing the white stuff around. The last picture is the Snow Angel that I made to send a picture of to my grandson who is in Germany and hasn't had any snow to speak of.

Finally got the pictures developed & here's what we were dealing with the day Andrew posted his pics (March 9th). We had about a week of daytime temps. in the lower 30's so some melting had occurred especially with the warm March sun.

Snow piles at the end of the driveway. Great fun attempting to back out.

Our street. Please note that the snow piles are taller than my neighbor's Acura.

The Saltmobile as it rests comfortably in the driveway awaiting a chance at a car wash.

Finally, last weekend & a visit to the car wash. Note the snow on the wipers because, sure as heck, it had to snow the day after I had it washed. The weather dudes had only predicted 'light flurries'. 2 inches later.....
2008, the year of record snowfalls.
The Kamikaze Cougar is visible in front of the SRT & my daughter's Ion is behind.

Can't blame you one bit for escaping ASAP. You guys just got some more yesterday, I'm sure you're just heartbroken at the news .

Well the party's nearly over as we are coming back tomorrow.
The good news is that I am off to the Dragon very early Thursday morning for another nice weather weekend in North Carolina.

Although working on Ferrari"s new F149 GT doesn't really seem like work to me!

Snow? What's that? This was taken a week ago at my lady's house. It's raining again today.

Be sure to bring back some pictures of that F149! In what way will you be "working on" it?

Sorry......no pics, cameras are not allowed inside any company buildings. Auto companies are kind of funny that way.

I'm a welding consultant.....Ferrari just switched a bunch of resistance welders from Bosch transformers to RoMan transformers. I'll be there to supervise the integration and development of schedules for their projection RSW process.

Anything that gets you in a Ferrari factory sounds good to me. Heck, I'd work as a janitor to get in there.
