    Well, that underwhelming "blizzard" of last week has now shown a bit more of it's ugly face. I didn't think I was going to get my car out of my apartment complex. :o Snow plows trapped me in...I'll make sure not to park in that spot again. :x

    OK....the snow is back....I rigged up a brush on a 10' PVC pipe. I still need the extension ladder, but I was able to resuscitate the signal :? .

    Yep, no snow but plenty of smog.

    I guess thats where we get the averages... "clear and still" (clear up to yer ass and still snowing) last year
    and unused snow chains this year!
