• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Storm Is Here!

We have about 14 inches on snow, deeper in drifts of course. The neighbor had his snow blower out this morning...clearing around the cars and in front of my garage door...and the snow was as deep as the hopper on his little snow blower. He called a friend of his with a plow truck to come and do the main driveway...which is several hundred feet long and up hill....we split the cost of the plowing. The guy shows up and begins plowing...the snow was so deep he had to make two passes to get down close to the gravel. Once he got most of the drive way done...he got stuck up against the guard rail that runs along the lower part of the drive way. We tried digging the truck out but every time he tried to back up the truck would slide up against the guard rail...lucky the rail was there or the truck would have slide over a 4 foot bank and really been stuck! The guy had to call his brother to come out with another truck to pull him out.

Fortunately, we did not get any ice, did not lose electricity, and can now get out of our drive way...not that I have any plans to go anywhere until Tuesday...when Deb has another appointment with the eye surgeon.

It's official... we got 26 inches of snow here in New Castle. And wouldn't ya know it, the sun came out just before it set tonight.

Cleaned out 4 driveways today, and 5 more to go tomorrow. Hopefully more than 5... the GTO needs new WL T/A Radials. LOL
