Pretty much a big whoopdedoo about nothing.... Seattle didn't get anywhere near what they thought it would, most of the 'big dump' was south of Olympia. Centralia got almost 2', I got about 1' here at the house, but it's already started to melt. Yeah, it makes a big mess 'cause we don't get snow here often enough for the local govts to have much in the way of snow removal equipment (or drivers that know how to drive in it..Originally posted by tom clisham View PostHey Steve.

) so it'll be ugly driving until enough melts. In the 30 years I've lived here, they only plowed my local roads once after snow (that was the 'big one' in '85 they talked about on the news), I don't expect to see it this time...

Nice to hear
We have now reached our daytime high of 5 above Farenheit. But it's sunny. That's similar to the "dry heat" of Az. 6-7 in of s--w tomorrow.

Well, I spoke too soon...Originally posted by crazy steve View Post
It warmed up and started raining, then froze overnight. All the weight in the trees is making them fall over left and right or breaking limbs out of them, the roads look like a war zone for all the tree parts in them, and I'm currently running on my generator (until I run out of gas..
). They're saying Friday before power will get restored...

Like the site, Father in law had a couple scout II's, don't have a current off road vehicle, but my next will be a project old skool off road vw beetle. Snowmobile is on the list(plenty of them here in Ohio for sale and cheap) and my 4 wheeler is under going major modification. At the moment though, most everything is on a temporary hold(hopefully temporary) trying to get household finances in shape, have a few medical issues complicating the employment issue. Be safe and enjoy! Just realized, your darn near Utah, I was in Fountain, Co.Originally posted by Jerry View PostLast edited by old_skool; 01-19-2012, 03:47 PM.81 XS1100HComment
