Snow, I challenge thee to a duel.
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:50:41 PM »
I'm dreaming of a white... Halloween?  Things are getting out of hand here in PA.  About 6 inches of snow on the ground right now, and it rained first so it's all sticking to the trees, almost every road is closed and 1 of 10 people i know still have power.  I'm posting this only by way of a laptop tethered to my phone.

This is the first snow I've been through with Virginia.  For not being used to snow, she handled it quite nicely!  I was doing way better than the trucks on the road, which is impressive with 3 of the 4 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S's not being good enough to pass inspection.

There's a good bit more on the roads right now, but the ones with the heavy snow are also the ones with the trees falling all over them, so i'm staying in for now.

Nah, I definitely don't play any d&d.  Maybe seen Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail a few too many times though.

Power is still off.  My buddy had a pig roast today and nobody showed up, so I'm taking Virgina for a drive over his way to eat some pig and drink some beer.

This was the view outside my garage on Wednesday morning.  I know there is an Eagle under there somewhere....
