White Christmas bah humbug!!!!

This is the sight I woke up to this afternoon. Looks like it will be several days before I can drive the widebody again. My FC DD is parked to the left of the wb. The FC sucks in the snow since it doesn't have an lsd and neither car has winter tires, lol.. Of course it doesn't help that much of the snow piled around the widebody is courtesy of the clown that plows the parking lot.

This is one of the worst snow storms we've had here in many years. Wind and wind chill were the worst part of it. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Wow, somebody who actually has more snow in the driveway than me! Got another 2 inches this evening, just in the time it took to have dinner in a restaraunt downtown. Why did I ever leave Arizona!?!

After those pics were taken, the wind blew all night and drifted more snow in to bury the wb even deeper. Finally dug it out this afternoon. Can't get all the snow dug out that blew in underneath the car. Not fun with 2 slipped discs in my lower back. I shouldn't even be shoveling snow but the *** wipe in the snow plow came by today and made 1 pass behind my 7s, removing a whole 6" wide path of snow. He barely looked old enough to be behind the wheel of the 40k+ diesel dually and had no clue clue how to push snow.

Bah Humbug.
