Default Getting PO'd

Okay, now they are saying we are getting another 6-10" tonight. Just got done plowing over a foot Wednesday! I don't mind the extra cash for snowplowing, but this is getting a little ridiculous. No place to put the snow this winter, my truck's starting to feel the pain too. I'm about ready to bury Al Gore in one of these monsterous snowbanks we got up here in New England, I'm all for global warming but where the#$%@! is it?? Not to mention this winter my wife hit the Toyata with the plow and damaged that, a week later my daughter hit a Lincoln Aviator with our Saab and then veered head on into a Mercedes (there goes my insurance) and then a week after that somebody hit my truck.......I've got one vehicle left that hasn't been damaged and that's my bike (I'm afraid to ride it now!)

Dawg, that's tough luck. I'm with you on the snow....but we're about 6" from a record, so we might as well get the record. THEN let the big meltdown begin.

Come to Cleveland where Lake Erie dumps up to 100 inches a year. We learn to ride in the snow in C town. The salt is what I cant stand. Think warm thoughts. I have been dreaming(literally) of the days when the warm wind will be in my balding hair.

We'll be lucky if it is gone by April. Hoping for lots of rain in the March!! Get rid of all the salt that was put down. [:'(]
