I honestly don’t remember; had a lot going on right then—but I know I pointed it out to my wife who likely didn’t care. I think we were on our way to Rosangelas pizza. 

My parents live near there, so I was probably either on my way there, or to HD.

Nothing in Detroit but brown grass,  gray skies, and white salty crusts.

it's true.  for the lack of snow so far this year, you can thank me for buying a bad-ass two stage snow thrower with tracks, and for putting the Blizzaks on both cars over Thanksgiving.

So far we have had one significant snow fall.    It all melted.    Since then a couple small amounts, cold enough to stay.

Nice toy!  

I gotta tell you though, my boys aren't happy with you right now.  They want to go sledding.

I had some fun after 2.5 hrs of shoveling 9" of snow:

In reply to Ottawa and NGTD: Toronto isn't perfect, but, for the record, one mayor did that one time.  It appears he learned his lesson (which, for him, was significant progress.)  We've dealt with our own snow ever since, like normal people.

And to be fair that was 20 years ago yesterday so all is forgiven/forgotten, I'll stop trolling the Torontonians

I'm not sure Lastman can be forgiven for the "Hells Angels Handshake". 

Jeep's broken and we're expecting 3-5 feet Tues-Thurs this week. Here's one of my tighter parking jobs from last winter.

No snow since early November here. I did take some video, and since my Jeep is in the video, I'll post it anyway.

Here's the current pic. I'm keeping it dug out so it'll be easier to fix eventually.

Here in Oklahoma it was in the high 50s yesterday afternoon. Around 11 pm thunderstorms rolled through and the temp dropped to the teens. Heading home from work in the morning there was barely a dusting of snow, but that Ice ....

There was supposed to be 8-12 inches here today. So far there is a dusting and it's very windy after raining all day. I am upset.

In reply to EvanB :

Yeah, we had Snowmageddon Letdown here, as well. Took a little 3 hour side trip into Amish Country with the missus, and ended up coming back with 14 (Fourteen!) new take off E350 grilles loaded into my poor little SW2 wagon.

Okay, only 11 of them were actually in the car, but still some interesting snow pix.

In reply to EvanB  & Cooter:

Same here in Indy. It's like the boy who cried wolf, I held off picking up the new drive train donor because of the nasty predictions, but all it did was rain. Then, Just enough to make things white again.

I woke up in Lawrence KS service area yesterday... Wait...

That sounds like I was drinking or doing drugs, but really I drive a semi.

Anyway it was a light snow and 23 degrees, I needed to put fuel additive in the diesel, I had to make boiling water to melt the ice off the fuel cap to get it open.

Then the day got interesting, I drove west on I-70 viewing the pretty ice and snow, oh and the truck wrecks and thinking, "I really should park it". 18 to 20 mph and the traction light trying to send me into epileptic shock were not fun. 

After I got to Salina KS to get my load they shut I-70 down. I went south and back across, I wasn't doing the ice road trucking again!

Sorry, no pics, I couldn't pry my hands off the steering wheel long enough.

We finally get some snow, after waiting 2 years:

I hope you bought all the milk, eggs, and toilet paper.

This was shoveled clean at 5 pm yesterday

I’m half way through a 12 hour day off for another snow storm that never happened.
