Sweet we dont have that much I hope we get more. I agree about the slow idiots. Today was following a slow ford doing 15 mph while in the lane next to me is a pirius that is doing like 30 mph. I was pissed I was out driving around doing 45 no problem. I sure do love the snow tho makes me money and makes everything look sweet.

Today when I left to go plowing

Then about 5hrs later Still out plowing. Thought it looked sweet

Yea, I guess we got around a foot. Contractors on 30 left like 4" on the road. and no sign of them. Interesting. Some roads were bare...I still passed a lot of peeple...prob needs some new shorts by now...haha...idiots...go home and stay in bed.

Best thing is sliding into my spot at wawa for coffee, and a loader operator just looks at me like, wtf is this guy doin...

I love it when people in white cars drive around in low visibility with their headlights off.Or when people try to climb a hill 3 or 4 times knowing they couldnt climb it in the first place.Just my 2 cents.

Where in PA are you from Dakman. Im from Lancaster and I am pissed that I missed the storm yesterday because Im at school in Williamsport right now. I plow when I'm home and could have made some really good money since they are still out I think.

Just about an hour east of you. Chester county. Go to Mont Alto?

I hope they're still out...most people didnt seem to do much...but it did seem like a hard storm to stay ahead of...esp since everyone was really behind.

got a hurst in the mail...might go in this weekend!

I'm a huge fan of driving in the snow, and I love muckin' around a bit too when I'm in the snow.

I am a firm believer that there are far too many people that just don't know how to drive in the snow. There should be compulsory / mandatory snow driving classes before obtaining a full license to drive. (we're in Canada)

It snows ~3 - 5 months out of the year here, and each year, people forget how to handle themselves and their vehicles when the white stuff flies.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow. We have about 3 feet on the ground at home in CT. We got a foot last night.

It's kind of funny. EVERYONE b*tches about people driving in the snow, but half the time the people b*itching are the people that can't drive in the snow. Just my 2 cents
