What?
I did a count one day, of all the rigs I saw in the ditch, and 87% of them were from the South.
When you see a snow drift over 4 foot deep... you gotta speed up and punch through it... ya goat ropers.

You're about a half hour east of my home. I just got up and there is 3-5 on the ground but it's hard to tell from all the wind. Drifts are already over a foot. You might want to deliver and get the flock out of here while you can. It's not going away for a couple days and things will keep getting worse.

Yeahyeahyeah. You "Flatlanders" and your counting!! Remember.....90% of my driving experience is "Rockies & West"......so I gots a little snow driving experience!

I am leaving right when it will be the warmest here today(mid-60's)....and Tuesday through Thursday are looking to be back into the 70's here....so I will be pushing a little warm air ahead of me...and dragging a little more along behind me....BUT...Ya'll still gotta do your part!! Get some equipment out and clear the roads!!

So I wake up this morning to a 6ft snow drift in my driveway and 3ft everywhere else. Looks like we got about 30" plus here and it's still coming down.

Should I fire up the snow blower and get to work on clearing it out...... NAH, I'll just sit here, crank up the furnace to 75* and watch some movies and drink hot chocolate. I like vacation

No, I sold my 4x4 with the plow this summer ..... I've spent all day on ebay looking at brand new F350's tho

I just went and made a few quick passes with the blower. I will tell you what, for the $750 I spent on this Craftsman, it is a hell of a machine. It cut thru drifts twice as high w/o stopping. It's got the 7.5hp Briggs on it too

Indiana has declared a State of Emergency around the lake here. I-94/I-80/US30 ect are all closed so good luck getting from Chicago to Detroit LOL

Here's just a few quick snaps with the camera-phone. I lucked out cuz my house faces to the north and most of the snow drifted out back of the house. Letting the dog out was a different story LOL
