Man, those winter wheels look great Brian ! I am sort of looking forward to getting some snow around here, although I'm not looking forward to having to put the steelies on our Vibes .

I LOVE snow but....... It's a tad early for 10" of snow!I'm enjoying the 63 degree blue sky sunny late fall day we are in the midst of!I think that I'll wash the car, wash the dog while at it, and maybe fart around in the yard cleaning up the Fall drops before it rains next week.Enjoy! We will soon be with you but for now, YOU can have your white stuff!Dave

Glad to see some snow.We did not even get snow this year in Quebec, which is very unusual for us at this time of the year.

Thanks, Guys. We just got power back on today. It was out for 48 hours. Turns out the official total at MSP airport was 7.7" but I measured 10" at my house so that is what I'm going with...lol.

Quote, originally posted by HawaiiPontiacLover »Yo...what's up with the crime scene tape? LOLAh, yes the pretty yellow ribbon...I had no cell phone signal so I hitch hiked back into town to call for help, but then the tow truck company said that they wouldn't go into town to pick me up so I had to get a ride back to my truck first. By the time I got back, it was already wrapped up!
