    it was nearly that bad here in Baltimore, too. But, we only got 2 feet...

      And here we go again..... I will be using the box scaper and end loader for a few days it looks like. Looks like we will have about 7 or 8 inches on top of the ice here.
      Yes, I remember the two storms that dumped 2 feet each time. A 1965 buick Skylark doesn't go so well in that much snow, and the floods and power outage for 7 days didn't help either. We here without heat, water etc. It worries me that this winter could be a replay.

          The fun bridge today. After 3+ inches of rain, and the last of all the snow going away. Guess there's still a bridge down there somewhere. I passed on driving the Festy across it this time.

              The water really came up in the past few days here also. I hope you have a bridge left when it's all said and done. Temps are supposed to drop like a rock this week. Didn't we do this ice thing somewhere before?

                ^^ Heh, yeah, already not liking what I'm hearing about this weekend. Snow Fri and Sat. Just not sure how much yet. Oh well, spring will be here, not soon enough.

                              Cool. Is that old one one of those one car at a time bridges? Those are fun!! :roll:

                              There used to be couple of bridges in Loudoun Co. VA that actually used to sway when I drove my old work van across them. :shock:

                                Last winter was a bit harsh. At that time we didnt have a festy that ran but with 3+ ft of fresh snow on the roads, I doubt it would have went anywhere. My chevy had a hard time a it sat about 2 ft off the ground. I believe we will have a mild go around this year. Cant wait to try out the sledstiva lmfao.

                                New river gorge bridge was closed a few times due to insane wind gusts and heavy snow.
