Anyone getting excited....

Chicago is down. I went outside to assess things and the town was barren.

I just looked out the front of my GF's house with my aveo sitting across the street. . . the snow is about half way to the bumbper and I need to move it before it gets buried or stuck. That means a walk back to the gf's that will be about a mile or so in this winter wonder land. . .

Id just leave it.

We just had some thunder-snow, sweet!

It's moved, I posted how my trip went in the snow handling thread. I would have left it, but the plow would not have been able to get through in the morning without causing some damage.

Glad you made it. This is not a joke. I posted this in the other thread but will post it here.

For Cook Cty IL (Chicago Area)

REPORTS FROM MEDIA AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALLY INDICATE THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES HAVE GONE OFF THE ROADS. THE GOVERNOR HAS ACTIVATED THE NATIONAL GUARD WHO ARE CURRENTLY RESCUING STRANDED MOTORISTS.

Nope. Not excited. Only raining where I live. BORING. So much for the incredibly harsh January.

My neighbor got his car stuck in the middle of the street. Dude was a moron.

Rain does suck. But the part of Washington where I'm at is pretty dry, just cloudy & cold. I remember down here in Bonney Lake a few years ago, we had that part of 410 that is at the bottom of the hill going into Sumner just flood from all of the rain that day and from the last few days before! So that was closed, and we got out of school an hour early (even though that meant at the time only a 1/2 hour left. Our school sucked at things like that, we had a bomb threat last year, and weren't evacuated until the principle called 911 and asked what to do, so we got out 20 minutes early).

How does anyone let that happen to themselves? But then again, why do stupid people insist on getting on the roads when they probably shouldn't?

I didn't want my car to get literally plowed. I got stuck a couple of times last night, but rocking it did the trick. It is a pain in the ass to switch from 1st to reverse and back in our cars with the 5 spd.

Its not that bad, i did it many a time in my aveo.

Spent 3 hours snowblowing the driveway and its only 75% complete.

Alot of pain.
