Of course you had a good reason to be out on the roads, right?
Some kind of emergency maybe?

I'll let you know for sure Wed night. Only way we don't come is if we get pounded with work at the office.

When we got there is was perfect out, when we got knocked out (I was first knocked out when some 'setted' my top pair top kicker) there was 8 inches on the ground, and 5 INCHES on 53. I have seen nothing like it on the highway before....even with the Envoy I was getting taken.

I just tried shoveling this crap and it was BRUTAL, heart is going a mile a minute right now

Gosh guys, I really, really feel for you all shoveling snow and freezing, wish I could transport you here for the day,, it was a spectacularly beautiful morning, just got back from an hour ride on my horse up in the high-desert, the snow on the mountains is gorgeous!!! I guess thats why California is so crowded!

I live in Northwest NJ in what is called the Snow Belt. Over the years, we have gotten storms similar to the Midwest. In the last few, things have changed. Our property still has a film of ice of about an inch, with snow of about an inch over it. It is in the high twenties right now. There is no precipitation falling and little is expected in the next few days. I feel for all those dealing with the elements.

no kidding only an inch or 2? I just cleared off the cars....six inches of heavy snow here...no sleet at all...what a difference South and Braddock Mountains make I guess....

I will be more than happy to send hurricane video....lived there for 5 years and loved every minute of it.....had I known then what I know now, I would have never left.....although we weren't in South Florida we were in the Orlando area in a suberb called Lake Mary.....Absolutely loved it....
