Taz 0 #1 December 6, 2003 It's snowing like mad in Boston, there's already at least 6 inches and I'll be stuck between the inside of the house and shoveling frantically all day... To all you people who decided to settle in Florida... RIGHT DECISION!! Anyone else stuck in the snow? -TIt's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #3 December 6, 2003 Yep snowed all last night. Seeing it was Friday there was no way i was staying home so on my way to my friends house i did 8 spin outs. 3 were unintentional.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taz 0 #4 December 6, 2003 GRRRRRRRRRRRRR So what you're saying is, you might have to consider wearing gloves while jumping at least once in the next few months? Yes, my heart bleeds... perhaps even a long-sleeve top might be necessary... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I think I just saw a squirrel fall into a snowdrift and disappear. It's gettin dangerous out there. Then again, maybe it's just cabin fever setting in...It's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taz 0 #7 December 6, 2003 You know it's bad when jumping off the roof to test the depth of the snowdrifts starts seeming like a good idea! It's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taz 0 #9 December 6, 2003 No no, it's okay... go ahead, mock my pain. I guess that's part of the training they give you when you move to Florida I have two sweatshirts on, INSIDE the house.

Muenkel 0 #10 December 6, 2003 I'm in Western, Massachusetts and we are getting pounded. They expect 2 feet by tomorrow. I hate this shit!

mcneill79 0 #11 December 6, 2003 I know that feeling. The only thing getting me through this damn snow is knowing that Jan 15 I'm moving to Cali and won't have to see it anymore.

I made $40 pulling two people out of the snow. A neighbor of mine is an emergency room doctor, he offered me $100 to drive him to and from work today. Of course I took that deal. Hospital paid me out of petty cash. The only down side is that I can't drink beer until after he gets off work at 10 PM Oh well I made a little money and had some fun playing in the snow. The downside is that he mentioned that he might look at a Rover next week. I told him not to waste the money, just have me drive him to and from work for the winter. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
