:crybaby2:

ooh, my new boootifol snow....RUINED!

Here in hapnin downtown Campton, 4-6" of incredibly wet glop on the ground this am, it was so heavy my blower would barely puke it out the chute and kept plugging up. when this sheet freezes, it won't melt til June!

soaked to the skin after 35 mins of striving with the glop. :BangHead:

/ corny plug.

4" of slush this morning made waves when I drove through it. hehe.

No offense intended, Pedro. If I owned one of your'n, I'd post a linky there, too. It just so happens one of these bad boys (in good ol' fashioned Maine yaller) is hanging on the back of my office door at this very moment.

I was sportin' my 7 year old EMS GoreTex XCR parka and my Merrell GoreTex XCR sneakers this morning as I broke my back shoveling the 2" of slushy crap off the driveway this morning. Feet & upper body were dry... GAP jeans were a bit soggy.

Couldn't fire up the blower at 5:30am because it would've woke the kiddo up.

Bah- I was shoveling in a Scholler jacket and flip flops. It's tropical out there!

nice jacket! i need one bad the old snowcross jacket is a little heavy even when it's just the shell,but that's too rich for my blood.

and no plowing or shoveling here

i guess there are some advantages to renting

and/or

the ones with short-term memory deficiency (whut izzit about driving in the snow you don't rmemeber just becasue it ain't snoweded in 2 weeks??!!)

Got lucky yesterday, I was out pushing this slop off my drivway, working my way from the garage to the end where it was pilled up from the plow. A nice guy was plowing neighbors and came over and did a quick sweep at the end. Saved me 20 minutes. Now, the snow from last night, still on driveway. Will go home and do.

Raingear, wearing my NorthFace Gore-tex shell. (left at wifes old apartment by someone, never cam back to claim) My win his loss.

Ah, the wildly popular "EX-tex" model. Price is always so right, but still always feels so...wrong.
