The white snow and your black beauty are both gorgeous.

how far is elyria from columbus? that is where i am and we are suppose to be getting some of that snow. I am at work right now (second shift) so i havent been outside since 4 but it was snicing (snow and ice) when i came in. I only drive 3 miles to work so its not so bad for me. I use to live in the hocking hills and still drove to columbus to work. i did it for almost 8 years so i remember very well what it is like to drive 2 hours home or to work because of the weather. back in 98 i think it was (maybe 97, i think 97) we had a really bad winter and i remember it took me 3 and a half hours to get home. i was driving my grand am gt and it was a 5 speed and i could not take it out of 2nd gear because my rear would try to pass my front every time. Needless to say 3 and a half hours later of driving 20 mph i made it home. and needless to say my car wasnt happy with me either i ended up collapsing 3 lifters in my enging and had to put it in the shop for replacement lifters. I guess its not good to drive 60 miles in second gear but i had no choice in the matter. I got smart two years ago and finally moved from the hills to columbus. and refuse to work more than 10 miles from my home. Luckily i have managed to keep it within 5 since i moved her. i hate ohio so much and am planning to move to texas in about a year.

i agree, i never got used to the cold again,
snow if fine, i just do not like having to drive in it.
coming into work tonight was ok, roads where covered in fact around home, you could not even tell there was roads.
but with no one out driving it was fine hehe.

Yea, Somedays I hate Ohio too


That stinks though...I will say this I've actually MISSED snow! It beats going out in the semi-freezing cold rain and stomping around in your muddy yard.


I hope it snows one more time....

That's what it looked like here in Salt Lake about a week ago. Now there is hardly any snow in part of the valley. Still tons in the mountains for the skiers though! But at least in Utah we get more sun. I was born and raised in Michigan and winter was depressing. Not a lot of sun.

That front missed us thankfully!!! But snow coming tomorrow night-yuck.

The worst driving is at night when it looks like the snow is coming right into your window and it mesmerizes you and makes it harder to concentrate on the road.

Cha! Looking at the map last night I was glad I moved southerly, I think out in 'bula they got like a foot right? We have icky goo everywhere and I fell down the stairs this morning trying to go to class and now my knee hurts and I can't walk.

My nephew sure is enjoying the Cleveland snow though

In the Medina/Akron area I'm pretty sure we got a total of about a foot too!
