You can't cure stupid.

This, and there's a different mindset among 'snow country' folks. I don't mind driving in the snow, but have great problems with most others driving in it.

Shoveled the deck, sidewalk, and driveway - cleared both vehicles. Came inside and asked the Princess at what age I would no longer be able to do these things. She replied, "81".

I measured 9 inches in the middle of the driveway.
It took about 2 hours to shovel the property but everything is done. And the plow still hasn't gone by.

I took my driving test in sleet and snow in January. On the way there, the car did a 360 in front of a truck. I straighten the car back up and kept driving. I think my Dad's fingernails were imbedded in the dash of the Cadillac. Drove to the DMV and passed my first attempt. Nothing made me nervous after spinning on the bridge.

@CapricornFarm - Gorgeous daffodils!

@LaFleche - Here you go! Sorry that the image quality is so poor; I had to compress them. Internet couldn't handle uploading anything decent... gotta love rural internet.

It was around 10F-15F at the time, so they ended up spending the night with me in the shop.

Thank you for letting us see these cuties!

Because his owners wanted to drive up to Syracuse to go to the Antique Show.
They dropped him off with the truck (our roads still haven't been plowed) then went back home to get their CAR to drive 86 miles in a snow storm that has already dumped at least 7 inches on the roads (and it's sticking here) and it's still coming down.
Idiots!

Are they antique dealers hunting after a special occasion or why would they choose to drive there amidst a snow storm?

They had planned to go a couple weeks ago and just didn't care about the weather. They can't afford to buy a damn thing. All I ever hear from her is how much debt she's in but, hey, let's go to an antique show in a snow storm. Sounds like a necessity to me.

When we lived in snow country, I enjoyed driving in the snow.

I despised driving in the ice.

'Ice' is 'stay at home' weather for sure.
