*** Blizzard! ***

Man! It's offically a blizzard. We are at ground zero here in Lincoln, NE. We have 15" on the ground and 12" more on the way! Winds are NE at 20 MPH, gusts to 32MPH. Visability less than 100 yards. 500 miles of Interstate 80 is closed across the whole state. All east / west roads are closed, all schools in the state are closed, businesses are closing early.

This is a good one boys! May not survive, my driveway has 4 foot drifts, impassable even with the 4x4, too wet and heavy, vehicle get high centered in 10 feet,.......................... getting cold, and wet, heart rate is slowing......................COLD..............get ting tunnel vision.......................everthing turning red....................this may be the end.

Can anyone start a collection for injectors so I can blast through the drifts?

Sucks to be you.

We are supposed to get a whopping inch tommorow morning, but not on the hardsurface, just the grass.

Out like a Lamb, huh?

You'll be alright, I have faith in you.

I called Fema for you......via your other post.

They said that since you are a working man and have insurance that you are on your own. They said that you have the drive to over come such an event. They had to reserve the money, housing, and helo rides for people that needed it. You know the ones....

Wine? Cheap screw top wine? At least you could send a dying man a bottle of Southern Comfort, or Crown Royal.

I'm not so sure that dog will hunt. Looks kinda stiff.

*** Weather Update ***

Wind had picked up to 35 MPH, drifts are 3 feet tall, had to tunnel out the front door to get the mail. All I can see of the Dodge is the antenna. Looks like its snowing heavier than ever.(This may be a slight exageration.)

Hows the "Geico injector fund" coming? Hmmmm? Any donations yet?

You really upset SunnyBob and TortillaStan hey?

We just had a blizzard but theres talk another one is coming here later in the week. Spring is arriving like a lion.

Good thing you got your push lock hoses double gear clamped...theres no way those snow drifts are gonna rip them off.

Be safe. Sounds like a real bad one.

Take care

Scotty

I've always wondered why the USA doesn't sue Canada for allow all that cold air to spill over THEIR border. Can't you guys put up a shower curtain or something? It is really annoying ya know...eh?
