Most years, we get 4-6" on the ground for a couple days at a time, round here. And I thought this winter was gonna be boring. Guess not. We went to sleep with no snow and woke up to find, among other things, that my costco carport couldn't handle the load and it done collapsed on top o' the rallycar. Other than that, my boy and I think this is fannnnntastic.

Would like to see how the Lane compound is faring through all this. I bet the Volvo is a hoot to drive right now. John?

I bet you can't even tell JVL has a parking lot full of carparts with all the snow covering them. winking smiley

We've had over a foot here. Roads are bad, drivers are terrible!

Rare Volvo areo sedan also.

Here's the aftermath. My neighbor has heavy equipment, dump trucks, road graders etc. He hit the driveway and parking lot Sunday morning. See how big the snow piles are.

AHhh! But I don't.
And haven't for a while.
And been talking to the Couty Prosecutor about the evil County Inspector's A) evidence tampering which is obstruction of justice, possible conspiracy to obstruct justice---a criminal civil rights case, and b) perjury or lying under oath, a second criminal offense far more serious than a few spare parts packed into crates and covered with tarps.

It didn't snow over here. Just got FUCKING COLD.

I looked up Colorado Springs yesterday to see how my friend Alex was doing, 'cause if it's 4 degrees over here right next to a big huge warm lake, it had to be about minus a hundred in the middle of nothing and up in elevation. It was something like 16 degrees, at night! That was today's *high*.

The neat thing is, roads are still sporadically ice in spots, and it's basically ass-cold reminding me why my family left Michigan decades ago, and a customer of mine drove his Firebird home today. Picture a '68 F-body, entirely in primer, no choke, no manifold heat crossover, no idle, 8" torque converter, welded diff, open air filter element, no heater, no hood, and on 10 year old cheater slicks. And the fucker DROVE IT HOME. "I'll keep it under 50" he says...

We had 8" or so on the ground, then got 11 more on Friday. Saturday just flurries and then 11 more on Sunday. About 6" Sunday night and another 6 or so Monday. Next storm is supposed to start Tuesday (today) for another foot or so.

It's about 4' deep along my driveway.

Holland's great. Lake effect!

There was a 100 car/truck pileup on I94 in St. Joe, another huge one on I96 in Muskegon, and 131 was a crawl. Amtrack even got stuck.

I traded some storage space for a neighbor's boat and travel trailer at my shop for free plowing. Glad I did!

I was taking Kirsten on a sled behind the Raptor when it was only a foot or so, but can't get thru it anymore!

Winter's here.

My stupid move...a customer had the car,it was avery clean 1989, spent a boatload on it here. Then another customer was selling a near perfect 740. So I sold the 740 to this gal and then I sold the 240 to another 'nother customer for her daughter for $1000. I kick myself every now and then.

Hey Jason,

Is that you doing your Tugg Speedman impersonation in the road closed photo?
