I'm just glad we didn't get a sleet storm that ices the streets overnight. That's what my house looked like as well except footprints all over from the next door kids coming over & playing w/my GF's daughter, & they even managed to build a dwarf snowman on one of my trucks.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I wish it was like that here... then we could rake the snow instead of Plowing it with 5 ton trucks. do you guys use salt on the roads?

Gracias, Brandon. Sorry, didn't see your question Kyle. No salt here as B said, that's why our trucks don't rust out so fast.

Hey Scott!

Did ya'll cancel school because of the snow? Here in SW Missouri, we don't get all that much snow. However, this year, we've already had two big snows dumping about a foot and a half each time. Luckily, both melted off in less than a week. They're calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow as well.

Around here, people go nuts in the snow. The last snow we had right before Christmas Eve, there were people in the ditch everywhere. Nobody knows how to drive on snow. And they call school off right away. I think it's funny sometimes, when I think of people up north who don't see the bare ground until May, and we cancel school because of 3" on the ground!

Lately, the pics of snow in Springfield MO are very similar to the Canada version. And, I thought I lived down south! Oh well, It will recharge the ground water. It's been dry around here.

Nope, it snowed on Sunday, so they didn't have to close the schools. However, they're pretty quick to though on a school day. Missouri sounds much like Texas in that the drivers can't drive in the ice and snow. It's pretty pitiful. Wrecks everywhere.

Well, we got a whopping 2 to 3" of snow during the night, and all the schools in the four-state area are closed this morning! Funny stuff.

Still more snow than we have here in salt lake city utah. I've been here 19 years and never seen it this dry. If it doesn't snow soon i'm gonna have to get the lawnmower out again.
