I think snow is the stuff they put in a paper cup with flavored syrup all over it...that's right, it's called a snow cone!!!
7-10" of snow - heck of a snow cone!

So far we have only received about an inch. The snow is melting on the streets. Hopefully it does not get worse throughout the day.

In reality it is not all sun & fun in Florida - I live so close to the beach (500 yards) that the Boxster S gets a salt film even in the garage - damn seabreeze! But at least it is warm
Hang in there northerners...spring is here!

Hey Chicago its coming! Snowing like crazy in Minneapolis. About 5" now to get another 4". The problem is the pot holes after the winter not the snow so much.

I think my area is about done with snow for the year. Although, I said that a week ago, and it snowed 6" the next day.
My biggest snow related problem, is when to take my hardtop off. I am thinking of waiting until mid-April when the ski resorts close, but I'm not sure I can wait that long.

We got about 6-7"... not as much as advertised, but still. There are spots that are bare and spots that have 2' drifts. It's starting to melt too!!! What's sad is that I drove the Box to work yesterday... so much fun driving it the 50 mile on the tollway!!!

Northern Chicago suburbs...we were blessed with about 8~9 inches yesterday and another 4 " lake effect overnight. Just when you think it may be safe to take the car out of the garage...Bam!!!
