Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Seems like every year on a couple of forums I make a post or two hootin' and hollerin' about the 1" of snow, can't drive, bad weather wheelmen who seem to be non existent during dry weather sessions lol.
We were coming back from St Louis the first week of January, in a blizzard, some in a little import front drive coffin passed me doing about 60..I was going 45...we stopped at the next gas station, and there he was, stuck in a pile of snow at the entrance to the fuel pumps. Normally I'd offer my help in yanking them out, but if you're dumbassed enough drive 60 or so on roads with 2 inches of slick, you're beyond my help.
We saw quite few stucks and spins that day....we made it home in one piece however. The way the weather was, it was leave St louis when we did, or risk being there another night...and I wanted to see my kids. It had been 4 days at that point since we dropped them off, and we were homesick.
In retrospect, that was an arsed up trip...little good came of it, save for meeting with jcassity from here on the board.
The weather sucked the whole time we were gone. And soemthing with my body got all messed up...for about a week, it was all I could to move around the house. Wasn't sick or anything, just felt like a really bad case of jetlag and detoxing from something...only, I had nothing in my system.
So, back to current...all the schools here have been called off for tomorrow, and I think (by listening to the county chatter on the scanner) that they're considering declaring a state of emergency tomorrow. Meaning they can order people to stay home, and off the roads, etc.
Hell yes.
Here's a wacky thought. Wouldn't it be alright to load all this snow up, haul it to Nevada and dump it all into Lake Meade? They could probably use the extra moisture there....and I'm over this.... LOL
