The snow was sure purdy to look at, but damn, Houston drivers FREAKED OUT. They drove all sorts of different ways. Everyone was loafing in the left lane, some with hazards flashin away, some riding the brakes, some with their horns beeping. Yeah, no kidding. No one went anywhere near the speed limit. Nothing was slippery, just wet from the flakes melting. People must have thought I was nuts, and driving like a bat outta hell, when I did the speedlimit. Sure is nice knowing how to drive in snow, being a MN native and all.

Worst part of the evening was realizing that there were peope running around naked, flapping their arms like crazy people, and looting was rampant.

Of course it's all gone now, but everyone is all a twitter about it and the focus of all small talk conversations. Bah humbug!

 

OMG - you guys are so spoiled. We got a full foot of snow yesterday in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My Crossfire is tucked away in the garage. We also had a transit strike in the city yesterday so for most of us, it took us about 3 hours to get to work and another 3 hours to get home. It was an exam day for college students so I spent the day picking up stranded students. Thank god I have a Jeep Cherokee to sub for the Crossfire in the winter.

So who wants to keep a Canadian stowed away for the winter? I can cook, wash your car, tutor your kids, and I don't talk back.....much. I have my own sunglasses and sun screen.

 

How ya'll are????? Cajun...hopefully the cold belt won't reach you again...that way we'll have good weather in the spring coming your way...and Cathie, careful, you might just get an offer from those Texans....

 

I'm almost Canadian, being from Northern MN, does that count? Living in TX now, I can cook, talk back, and have no kids. Most importantly, what color is your XF? High miles? Please send a pic of "Lucy."

 

almost Canadian...hmmmmm.

I drive Lucy quite a bit - all summer long and have taken several long road trips. Mileage is about 29,400. Time for new tires.

My winter Jeep is Dezi, they make a good couple.

As you can see from the pics, I am not as fastidious as some in this group, I have yet to take a toothbrush to my exhaust pipes, maybe this winter.

My ex and I stayed at the nice yellow bed and breakfast and the staff were very interested in the car.

I did not buy the vanity plate, and I sometimes get sick of guys pulling up beside me and flicking their lighter...

My ex is now in Phoenix - which is why he has that status...I hate the cold and snow...why am I still here?

 

I feel like Crocodile Dundee when he showed his knife....

That's not snow...this is snow.

 

That just isn't right! The unless the S63 is a ragtop. Tell her it was a message to her from mother nature that she is to park outside.

 

We had about 4-5 inches on the Northshore of New Orleans in Mandeville. I looked in the paper to see if Al Gore was in town for the Gore-easter.

 

THIS almost brought tears to my eyes..... lol I cant imagine growing up with out real snow or playing rink hockey what exactly do kids do down there during winter??? lol

 

No snow here, to darn cold , -30 c/-18 ish F tonight, global warming I guess. I spent some time in Cameron and Holly Beach, nice to know it was"nt totaly gone. However the TV. coverage we get here only shows N.O., and I know there is more to LA than NO,

 

What do they do.. well they take drives with us in our Crossfires TOP DOWN !!

 

I don't mind the S63 being in the garage as it should.. Its the fact that the 05 Honda Odyssey is also in the garage that gets to me.. oh well.. We have 3 small kids 5, 3, and the youngest will be 2 this xmas, hence the Ody to carry them in and the DW says its too cold to park the Ody outside and have the kids walk in and out in the winter.. Now, I grew up in Chicago.. and I'm thinking.. this is Houston!!!! Oh well.. The things we do for our kids ...

 

In the winter we plat football, basketball, tennis, baseball. Why do you think the SEC dominates football!!

 

Hmmm, riiggghht...
