Come On Spring

18" of snow due today. Starting to get cabin fever :(

Boxster is hiding under the covers being shielded from the elements.

No comments on the cover please. All the cash went into the Pcar.

We had it last week, about a foot. My brother lives in DC and he and his wife are both home today. On another note I have a friend in ATL and she's posting pics on fb of "being home for the third snow day". It's awful! I can see her driveway through the "misting" of snow. I know they're not used to it but come on!?!?

My cover is a 15 dollar tarp from Costco haha, we only had 6 or so inches but that's enough to cancel school from Tuesday to the weekend. Serious cabin fever over here.

We didn't get too much but no one down here has ever heard of snow tires haha. Mother had to have the Camry pulled up the driveway by my fathers truck

The girl on the weather channel said she was expecting to see eight inches tonite. I assume she meant snow.

There was a Fall and Winter?

I must have blinked during it.

Pillow is at the other end and the bed sheets are 800 thread count. :p

However willing to accept donations to upgrade to something more to your liking.

sorry saving up for a snow-blower.

I'm using the OEM outdoor cover. $200 on Ebay. Fits tight as a snare drum.

Spot the snowman!

What's all that white stuff laying around? Doesn't it get in the car when you drive with the top down?

BIGJake111 02-13-2014 01:52 PM

the car has been garaged through all of this... shoveled the drive just to take it into the neighborhood for some pics, once done... she returned to slumber in the garage.

An other good one today! Wind reaching 100km along the st-Laurence river, but still the boxster perform Well. Tonight afterwork should be interesting :-).

Love the snowday. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1392396698.jpg

I'm interested to know what snowblowers people are running in various parts of the continent.

Mine is a Yardworks 8 hp 28", dual stage, with 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse. It is adequate most of the time, although it does struggle with packed drifts once they get deeper than about 3'. I'm going to fit it with drift cutters and tire chains to see if that helps. I think the chains will make all the difference as traction does seem to be the main issue in the heavy stuff.

Waiting for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the current round of snow to stop so I can go out and fire up the Snowblower. 3 car side entrance driveway and several hundred feet worth of private drive to contend with, I'm set back in the woods so the depth isn't usually too bad. My daughter's boyfriend is here tonight since it's Valentines Day, thinking about putting the lad to work ;). The back entrance to my office:
