And the weather report is...

[great white]

Lol.

We've had nothing for a month and a half now and 10 cm supposedly coming on Sunday.

I'm going to have a fit!

What is snow???

[roadkill]

That ain't no lie... sheesh.

[82GTforME]

We could use some rain or even a little snow. Things are dry here. According to our weather the other day they were saying that we have not had a daytime high below freezing since the first week of February! That's crazy!

While most people love it, the farmers around are already thinking it's going to be a challenge with the little moisture we had over the "winter". We can pray for some April showers...that will help clean the roads off for driving season too!

It's the white stuff NC gets twice a winter.

Which gives us Northerners a good laugh watching you clueless Southerners slip slidin' away !

Some of us can actually drive in it. I've had my 84 out in it numerous times!

[roadkill]

You drove your '84 in the snow??? I see what salt does to vehicles on a daily basis... YIKES! There's a reason my toys stay locked up indoors for 4 months out of the year.

Its more fun watching the Northerners try to drive in our summer Thunderstorms. Flashers on in the left lane going 35 - 40mph on the interstate.

Te only salt we have is in the food and at he beach.

NC doesn't go crazy with the salt. I always hosed it off underneath after any trip in that mess. It was the only car I had and it did great, much better than my Altima does.

It's finally gotten nice enough that I'm getting the mower ready for the season.





You can say I'm lazy, but I don't crawl around on the floor if I don't have to. The older guys here will understand where I'm coming from.

Lucky you. Northeast Ohio has miles and miles and miles of salt mines underground so they use that crap like crazy. I think the politicians get a kickback from Morton and Azko/Nobel...

[gt4494]

Nice set-up! and totally understand.

We have to keep the mowers running 12 months a year, but we don't deal with snow plows or shovels.

So... can we expect a full back half and wide tires on this as well?

I had to chime in on this one, sorry. But to the best of my knowledge and I am not an expert on weather, but, I live in the North and we have 4 seasons. That means thunder storms, hail, humidity, all the good stuff. We only get it for a few months of the year, not weekly. So driving in them is pretty common.

[gt4494]

I agree but when the water is coming down so fast the truckers slow down to 40 you know it is raining. At that point if you can not see to drive in it you should get off the road. In the summer this is a weekly and sometimes daily occurrence along the coast.

I run I-95 a lot and it is generally the plates from above Virginia that either don't turn their lights on or have their flashers on (illegal to drive like that) and stay in the left lane. The difference in speed is what causes accidents.

Like said above " if you do not know how to be safe in certain weather conditions, get off the road till it passes".

Having to mow all year in exchange for no snow sounds like the deal of the century to me.!

I'm thinking of Tim Taylor in a Home Improvement episode where he got into the lawn mower racing and of course went way overboard. I miss that show. Tim Taylor was my role model. Ask my wife.

Hold on there cowboy. Them's fight'in words. Seems you're lumping me into the ricer crowd and I'll have to meet you in the street at noon to settle this.

And a good detail job...

Well you know what I tell people who mention that my car could use some detailing? I' tell them it's a go car, not a show car.

In this case I guess it's a mow car, not a show car!

This old girl was purchased in '94 and has lived a hard life. You have to cut her some slack.

I meant that with the spoiler you won't get the top of your head sunburned.

Oh, so now you're calling me baldy? That's it, you better be ready to slap leather pardner.

You must be one of the lucky "OFR's" The only place hair doesn't grow is on my head.
