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.

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

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

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

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:
