Frozen world

[vping]

Whilst Doc is busy annihilating the Fla mosquito population, I'm battling - hopefully - the last storm of the year. Last night this stuff was like sand. Today, it's a solid rock.

Man, you gotta move!!

As soon as I can get the Jag outta my garage I can get another B or 2 in there. Maybe even a TC :-0

Nothing sadder than an MG parked in the snow. Brrr.

We're having an early, warm spring here this year. Supposed to be in the 60s today and tomorrow. We'll still have storms, but the warmth is on its way.

tony, u right! after my venison stakes,

 

[tony barnhill]

We've got those little things out in the yard eating Jerri's early lettuce!!

I heard a weather report that the North East is supposed to warm up in the next 2 weeks and then get another cold blast in a month.

Yeah, went out this morning and it was like a glacier rolled in. Everything was encrusted in ICE. I had to get the cars out, because both me and the missus had things to attend to. Took about an hour and a half to get the cars de-iced and out of the driveway. Two feet of snow would've been easier to deal with then this stuff. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hammer.gif

I was lucky that the only car that's outside was the LR.
Heated front and rear screens make defrosting dead easy.
Turn the key, come back 15 mins later, turn on the wipers.

I'm glad it missed us! Alan, I agree about the heated screens. Mirrors are nice, too.

tony, ya godda teach jerri to shoot a bow, the picts i posted were taken from the deck off my kitchen this morning there where 8 of em, with so much frozen snow on the ground they where ripping the heck out of the branches of a crab apple tree right outside the door, last summer i made a nice rose garden for my victoria (wife) even managed to grow "black" roses, the morning i decided that theyd be big enough to bring some in for her i went out with my clippers only to find the deer had eaten every single rose stems and thorns as well, i know how jerri must feel i was infuriated. the deer are so bad here the neighbors beg me to hunt their property, my friends call my house "tony's salad bar" must be pretty warm for jerri to be growing lettuce allready. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/savewave.gif

Geez.. Thats all you got? This morning i awoke to 10 inches of fresh powder on the ground. I did a little figuring. in the last 32 days we have received just about 4 FEET of snow.

I too would rather deal with 10" of snow than this stuff. It's like concrete.

 

[vping]

Boy this stinks! Look what I found this morning. Seems that the snow piled up over the vent in front the windshield & filled the car with snow. The floors in this car are perfect so now I gotta clean this out.

 

[Steve_S]

Yikes! I didn't think that was possible. Water yes, but snow? That must be some seriously light and fluffy snow!

 

[vping]

It is like bb's so once it filled up the bb's ran right into the car like sands through the hour glass.

That happened to the LE I had the first year I got it, not fun. Thankfully that last storm just missed us here. We got an inch or two saturday morning of light snow, but it's mostly gone now.

Is that all the snow you guys got?

Here's my MG a while back in a normal winter...

...And here it is after this last storm.

Re: Frozen world [& MGB's]

Oh...mid 60's today, sunny. Bradford pears and eastern redbuds are blooming....starting to see a few Azaleas and even dogwoods. I don't know what to think about snow in March...but it really makes me glad I live in the south.
