I want real snow. We havent got over about a 1/2 inch. It rained over an ich but not cold enough for snow this weekend. That would have been about a foot of snow.

i liked playing with my stock truck in the snow, so I figure it will be even more fun this year.

I feel the same way. Heck, in Columbus we haven't even gotten 1/2" yet. My buddy in Houston has had more snow than we have.

Wow, that must have shut texas down except for the big lifted trucks... Haha. I have a photo of a couple years ago of a factory in Mexico with 2 inches of ice and snow covering it, and the cactus out front.

id NEVER get stuck at the mall...

i dont have the...ba...bravery to do it.

thost giant snow/ice piles are just too risky for getting stuck and/or a rollover.

probably illegal too.

Snow out here.... but can't get to it, since they've closed the roads up to Big Bear for the moment. May have to go out to Ojai.

I know, I heard how much snow you guys got pounded with... 2 of my buddies flew out to LA last thursday to catch a flight to Mammouth to do some skiing but the flight to Mammouth was cancelled. So they drove to Big Bear during the storm, checked into a hotel and when they woke up the power was out and a lot more snow... crazy. But I wish I was there to get on spme of that fresh pow, unlike the ice we got here to ski on. :evil:

Did a bit playing in the snow this weekend... And I actually have Pics :awesome: We had about 7 Rigs with us on the way up, it was a nasty day, but we had been planning on taking the kids sledding for about a month, so we went anyways. Most the pics my wife took didn't come out well, but here are a few that did!
