No shit Sherlock ;)

Worst Chi-Town winter in decades, we're only 6-7" short of the all time highest snowfall total. Yet, it was 57 degrees yesterday, mucho sunshine and lots of snow melted. Spring is coming.....as hope springs eternal!

Going to be 64 here today, between rain showers the Pacific Northwest is nice and everything is Green! Grew up in the Midwest Chitown actually and you all can have that snow/Cold BS! If I wasnt working so much I would be out riding the chopper on the nice days!

No rain in Peotone today but all is pig slop outside. Wish this crap would melt and dry up. Looks like more snow tonight and tomorrow then warming up toward the weekend.

Know I'm a little late here, but I'm typing out from Erie, PA, the official highest snowfall city in the USA according to our local news.  We pride ourselves on staring out the window hoping for spring ::).  On the other hand, I've got all of my stroker parts now so let the fun begin.

My cats have been staring out the windows for weeks also. A couple of nice warm days and most of the snow has disappeared, then back down to single digits ::)
I got my Caltrac springs and bars on in 2.5hrs the other night. When it's 40* in the garage it gives you incentive to keep moving ;D ;D

Hmmm Erie got top dibs for snow fall? I`m in Westfield NY, 30 miles east of Erie, I thought Tug Hill would get top shot. I know what Lenz means about getting out to do stuff. I managed to get my clutch swaped out this last week  in my 56 f100. Getting set for Beaver Sprgs next month. Still have to change rear brakes on my F350 for the trip. Lenz do you go to the rib fest car show in North East?

I'm below I 90 south of the city, always get more than Erie but much like Tug Hill, they aren't measuring where I live.  Think they occasionally step out of the nice warm baggage pickup room at the Airport and shove a tape measure into the ground near a drift ::).  As far as the North East car show & rib fest I plan on being there.  Also planning on being a spectator at Beaver Springs.  Got lots to do on the Galaxie but my pole barn sure holds the cold :(.  I lasted long enough to sort out the nonfunctional turn signals yesterday though ;D.-  Len

Have a cat, great mouser, she lives in the pole barn.  Spends times like these staring into our windows from the deck railing ;D.  Glad somebody's garage is topping out at 40 once in awhile---

Had a couple nice days but everything is still sloppy mud and ice mixed, I guess I can wait a few weeks now because Monday I go under the knife and will be laid up a month. I hope the weather is better by late may of early June LOL.

Wish you well with the "under the knife" deal.  Never fun, but the outcomes are usually worth the battle-  Who knows, by June we just might be into springlike weather ::)
