Default Enough is enough with thhis snow

We have had a long hard winter here in Buffalo including two blizzards one of which was this past Wednesday. Enough.

Even Virginia has had record-breaking snows this year - worst since 77-78 if I remember correctly, and pretty much the same with Kentucky and Tennessee, too (family).

(But don't make any smart-aleck comments about global warming).

I'm hoping we get more at my area's official measuring station, Detroit Metro Airport. 3.1 more inches and we'll break the 93.6 inch record from 1880-1881 for the snowiest winter ever. We are this close, so why not break it.

I'm with you guys...enough already. Although Carcruse has a point about breaking records. What the hell...got 8 inches 2 days ago here in Clinton Township, MI, why not go for it!

Looking ahead, ya' know Easter is just around the corner (what, April 20th this year). Here's to a good Easter egg hunt...wait, mine got eaten

Just so fed up like everyone else!
I got a new DD and didn't bother putting snows on it, figuring mid March I'll be fine...
Could barely get it up the driveway yesterday with all the snow we got, and it's AWD!!!

6T5Rush:
We got 6.5 inches two days ago, if we hadn't got that, I'd agree with the others that enough is enough. But don't let a little snow stop you from driving your Vette. I've driven all 3 of mine in snow.

Snow is a 4 letter word around here. 3 feet of that stuff on my yard. Threw a rod in my snow blower to make matters worse.

Dave,
The last time I was in Gorham my wife and I rode my 500 Triumph up Mt Washington.
Good memories of many years ago, like 1968...
I love that area, I lived in CT. at the time.

carcruse,

Funny, got cabin fever (and a reason to test the new water pump I installed) so drove her out of the sub 2 weeks ago to get onto dry roads. Your pic reminded me of that drive.

Default Snow

Just got back from 5 days of snowmobiling in Canada. Up to the Seaway and North to River DeLoup. Total miles traveled were 547 and all Trails were excellent every were we went. Cost for a season permit is $300 per sled. Kind of pricey but conditions
couldnt be better. Great food every were we went. Dave
