I forgot to say I was working, paid by the hour and did get to clean some of my mess from the RR rebuild since on day 2 of my road trip I was snowed out of the area I was testing.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

And I thought it was bad driving in New England!

Here you just add any precip and that tacks 1/2 hr to the ride!

I tried living in some of those no snow areas and found that after 2 to 3 years I wanted snow again.

Looks like the plowing was fun get us more pictures as the winter goes on.

Very nice pictures.  You have to love the seasons in the Northeast.  I would be lost without the changes.  I think I would get bored of the Southern CA and Arizona climates.  Yo cant beat the season around these parts, it adds intrest to a garden RR.  Now I just need to get my RR started.  Its hard to believe most people think of NJ as industry and houses.  Not these parts.

Thanks for sharing the pics.  We do get some snow in sunny AZ but it's mainly up in the mountains above 7,000 feet.  This week we got the rain San Diego was talking about.  We needed it but I will say that the desert isn't built for a lot of rain.  Just a couple inches flooded most of the basins and washes.  I will say I don't miss the snow having lived in Idaho, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and other cold places.  I much prefer the sun.

Yeah, the only thing we have to contend with latley here in San Diego is a little rain, which we need!

Thanks for reminding me why I moved back to Souther Calif.  Not having the "right toys" back then I did not enjoy the snow that much.  Looks like your having entirely too much fun.  Thanks for sharing the pics.
