Where I'm from that doesn't even count as snow... just a morning 'dusting'!

Love your fine city all the same!!

Be careful when driving the Boxster... (or those boots) in weather like that !!

How come I don't ever see babes like you when I go to lawyers' offices or court?

Actually, I did get heated seats and they were worth every penny. I wasn't going to and the salesman sold me on them by pointing out that us southernerns aren't used to cold. I was like yep, true, I hate cold weather, and I have used them tons of times already. They are also good like a heating pad if I have a back ache.


I wasn't actually driving in the snow. The ground was just wet, not icy even. The snow melted as it hit. I didn't have any problem with traction but I did drive slowly.

Somehow I don't think I'd get the same level of response if I made a post about my Boxster and some snow...

Do you giggle like a school girl, jumping up and down like a bunny when you see snow?

Here's my sexy boot photo for you, Devil Dog.




Now LB, what about the earlier request for a photo of you driving the Box with those boots on...I can only assume he meant just those boots. After all, you do have heated seats.

Dude... you need to spend some time watching "What Not to Wear"... all black just seems a bit... Marilyn Mansonish...

Thanks for your service!

Why'd it have to be Marlyn Manson-ish. It couldn't have been Neo-ish?



Actually, with my three furballs running around, I usually go out looking like I'm wearing an Angora snowsuit.

I didn't see any sunglasses (of course I didn't notice any makeup either)... so hey, if you want your style to be considered Neo-ish, who am I to judge...

If I just could stop bullets like that, I'd have several less holes.

I really can't drive with those boots on or any heels for that matter. I can't push the clutch with heels.

I need to take a picture with your guns and my boots though and then we'll have the perfect picture.

I think if it ever snows again I'll have to be prepared and have in my car a pair of clear stripper heels, a gun, a whip, and some panties to throw into the picture to make it interesting.

Okay, I was driving around New Orleans yesterday but it was in a very pedestrian Pontiac rental mobile. Was staying on St. Charles and it was sort of cool to see the street cars running in the snow. Drove out to look at the hurricane protection project between the Orleans Avenue Canal and the London Avenue Canal and they had the bridges closed because of the weather. Being a northerner I just drove around the barricades.

BTW, my Boxster is hibernating in my garage here in Minnesota.

I know all you northerners just laugh at how excited we get here over snow. I can't even tell you how many people I saw taking pictures yesterday when I was leaving my neighborhood. My brother even called me from his software training he's in this week to ask if I could take pictures of the snow. I have a friend who is also a court reporter like me and she refused to go to her job because she said who's going to pay for her car if she wrecks, and she drives an SUV. She thought I was nuts to go, but there wasn't really snow on the ground so it wasn't bad.

Ah.. New Orleans in the Winter Time. Nothing quite like the sound of newly fallen snow crunching under your tires as you pull out of the garage.

Do you own an ice scraper?

I knew this would become a popular thread once the focus shifted from snow to boots..... And darn it if it only snows in New Orleans so infrequently...


Bob C Springs, CO where I see lots of snow AND boots...

Hey Grizzly, thanks for the cool pic. I got all excited when I saw the HK bag, but where are your HKs? Your back up piece looks to be a Sig 239, and I can't quite make out your other piece-S&W? Do you have an MP5 stashed in the bag?

And ++1 on LB in nuttin' but the boots and heated seats...

Love Bunny,

Seems you've really beat the bushes on this site. We're talking cars, guns, 6" pumps, heated seats, snow and a picture of you. Life is good!!

O.K. I finally dig my car out of the snow but before I did that I took some photos to show you southerner what it like here in the frozen land. The temperature today is -10F or -24C. I couldn't open my front trunk because it is frozen solid. I have to take the car to an underground parking in order it to thaw out.

LB, we all love your boots.
