Actually, it was me. I took the arctic gear out of my truck and rolled up the extension cords for summer yesterday. Shoulda known... Sorry!


I recommend you had better lay low for a few weeks. There are some out there that are not going to forget this for awhile.

Well Hook, look at it this way...I'm only slightly less popular than than the Big Oil folk! So if there's any shooting to be done, I won't be the FIRST target! (gives me a chance to run for the hills!)

Actually Ak_traveler, I think you are safe.

It must be our fault, we took the studs off of our daughter's car Saturday morning thinking it isn't going to snow that much.

The way I have seen some people's daughters drive around here, not only would I have left the studs on, I would have chained up all four and left them on until the 4th of July.

Well she doesn't have her license yet, she will soon though but she actually does a good job. Of course she isn't out on the road alone yet. It is the thought of my 14 year old son being her age that scares me. I am sure that everyone in Alaska will be glad we are in Missouri by then.

OK!!!! Who done it.

Who Tuesday, took off the studs, washed the truck, got the camper ready to go or anything else to make me wake up to 8" of snow this morning. Would you all please crawl back into hibernation for about for about 2 more weeks so this stuff will stop.

Hook

(maybe i done it, bought some fishing supplies)

Sorry Guys/Gals, I think it was my fault.

Last Wednesday, it was so nice I took the plow off the ATV, moved the snow blower to the back of the garage, put the blade away, hung up the shovels. Friday, washed my wife's car. And cleaned out the back of the truck prep-ing to put the camper on. Then it snowed last Saturday.

This morning, woke up to heavy snow fall. 6" to 12" due by tomorrow morning.

When will the madness end?

I hope soon. Our new 5th wheel is in transit and was due in tomorrow. I think he needs to slow up a little and wait until Friday or Saturday to come into town.

The guy probably thinks we are crazy because 10 days ago we told him that it was looking like spring up here and melting.

JCGibson, I'm hearing next week. But I woke to 16 at my house this am. Hope your transit driver isn't peeved when he pulls in.

I hope not either, I just wish it wouldn't have sat for 2 weeks on the transport company's lot waiting for a driver. Weather wasn't a problem 3 weeks ago. Plus now we may have to go shovel our storage spot to fit it in. Kinda wish we had a plow for the truck.
