I am not ready for this stuff

Mother Nature caught us off guard.
An early fall snow storm brought about 6 inched of the white stuff to Northwest Indiana and South West Michigan.
Way too early to be dealing with this stuff.
Hey Dock Monitor, remind me once again why I live here.

No worries for me though, thanks to the 4WD F-250

Tim- You're on the wrong side of the lake my friend. It's cold up here, but no snow. Did I mention houses for sale and North Point Marina right down the road.

No snow here in Toronto, but plenty to the north of us, and the temperature is -3 C, so it's just a matter of time.

Hey, I thought "OH, NO! I HAVE TO GET MY HONDA OUTBOARD OFF THE BOAT, OR IT WILL FREEZE!" and then remembered it's air-cooled...hehehhehhehh...

the only frozen thing in Portugal, will be beer and water...altough the economy is heading to sub zero values also

Which is why everyone in the anchorage will be cursing the guy with the "lawnmower".

Tim,

All I can say is "Brrrrrr."

Holy crap what is all that white stuff? How many weeks did it take that snow to accumulate?? Where are the wrecks? Did you shut down the schools? The city? The businesses? No?? We do - and I am not kidding!!

By the way, why is it that you have a bigger truck than me?? Eh? Mine is an F150 and yours is a 250. I guess you think that makes you better than me, huh?? Yeah, well, my boat is still bigger than yours and don't forget it. With that in mind, I bet T34 must really feel inadequate!!!

HEHE!
