Were you in the lake effect band that stuck around all day on, what
was it, wednesday? I think the snow there may have been up to that
25" frame-deep level.... Radar looked like it was tracking north of
you. There's been nothing significant here south of Rochester yet
this year. Had a bit of trouble getting my car out this morning,
since I backed *just* too far down my driveway last night in the
still wet slush, and was on a bit of an uphill in my own frozen
divits this morning. Glad I installed traction control in the car
since I can't drive the truck past the car without very careful
parking and hill climbing all the way at the bottom of my driveway.
Barry - nice vanity plate on the Merc!
Now bring some of that real snow this way. I want to see how the
Jetta does in 10-12"..... I think more than that and it'll be
lifting the front tires off the ground too much unless it's real
light and fluffy. I have oversize tires on it but it's still only
got about 5.5"-6" of ground clearance.
