I came back up North for this! What the...
Attachment 220433
And it's still coming down. Supposed to be up to eight inches by morning. And my poor new truck, I can't be driving it in the SALT they put down here. I think I'm stuck here till Spring. Say it ain't so...
Make snow cream ! lol or is that a southern thing ? :biggrin
Geez, Keep it up there will ya. I'm not ready for that yet!
We want to see the new Slab Hauler!!
Winter Storm Warning now....they are calling for up to 13 inches of snow! I'm telling you....see you in the Spring! Wish me luck. Heck with snow cream, send me frozen crappie fillets, please!
And to think, I have to pack a trailer (moving day) to hopefully get outa here some time when it does let up.
Spring? Say it ain't so is right. Who could wait 'til spring when your a Floridian? I'd get out of there as soon as I finished my business and when you drive out of that stuff,
stop at a car wash and leave that salt up north.

Unreal. I already had to broom off my tonneau cover. About 4 or 5 inches of heavy snow on it already! And it's supposed to snow all night!
Stop on your way back and we can share a few bags of fillets. :biggrinQuote:

Too much snow for this old man. Been there. Done that! I only travel back to the North in the summertime. What you need to do Ed is just stay inside where it is warm, then hire people to load your stuff for you in the freezing blizzard and drive your truck and stuff for you back to the sunny south. You, on the other hand can finish your brandy, bourbon, scotch or hot toddy whatever it is to keep your bones warm and then take a limo to the airport and catch the first red eye flight back to warm and sunny Florida. Remember the lyrics to the song "Baby it's cold outside." and just have fun until you can get out of there. (See the bottom photo Ed.) :cheers2
Please do not consider this as the "Professional help" you are seeking....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once. :biggrin

Over a foot of heavy snow. It just had to get one last winter storm in on me. Knew I was never gonna be back! One medium limb broke in back yard on the Twisted Willow.

RUN, RUN, RUN!!!!!!
I saw the weather report this morning for the Northern parts of the States around the Great Lakes area. They said that a lot more snow is headed that way. Be careful and stay warm if you all can.
The national weather seems to say there's more of it coming your way... before it clears up. It looks like a great time to pull out the crock pot and start some kind of hearty stew, soup, chili or chowder... then just hunker down by a roaring fire and eat, drink and be merry.
Yikes, I am not ready for any of that!! Be safe!
go sleding :Rofl
Oh my, please leave that stuff up there where it belongs! Sorry Slab you have it, but up North is where that stuff lives, LOL!
It only visits here on rare occasions and never that much, LOL!

Unreal amount of snow we are getting. Do not believe the forecasts. They are nuts. As a matter a fact, I'm fishing with nuts. I'm using nuts at the end of my line to cast to the tops of the trees to shake the snow off so I don't get any more broken branches. But the stuff just keeps coming down. Looks like I'll be fishing for a while.
Oh, you all prolly wondering why there's a kitchen chair outside. That's inside! the roof caved in! lol j/k....that's an old chair I was using as a saw horse earlier when I was working on replacing my windows. I was gonna burn it next chance I got! Anyone up for coming here for a camp fire! Drive safe if you do.
Looks like poor planning to me :D
Patience Slab. Don't get in a hurry in what may be your last dealings with that stuff. We and the fish will be here. Be careful and hurry back.
Slab, I feel your pain, I had a car, Lincoln MKC, to deliver to Schaumberg IL Sat. morning and there was already 4" of snow and still coming down hard. Didn't take me long to get in that MKZ and head south!! Saw several cars up against the center wall on the toll road and there was a 3 car and 1 semi spin out in the middle of the road right in front of me. Fortunately I managed to slide by and no damage, but I did have to clean my pants out when I got home.
I know all about that snow up north Ed. I was 28 miles from Cleveland in the snow belt for over 45 years as an adult and an additional 15 years as a child. I have seen, shoveled and driven in too many lake effect snows of more than 20" at a time. It is not fun! I have been in Alabama 11 years now and have not shoveled any snow yet. Praise God. Be safe and take care of yourself and hurry up and get to sunny Florida. I plan my trips back north in the summers only unless it is an emergency situation. Then I will fly or take Greyhound. Ohio winters in the snow belt are too much for me at my age now.
When you start south don't bring the snow with you !nonono
Slab, it's only snow it will melt sooner or later.:Rofl
If I was up there I would be getting my Ice Auger out and putting up Some Winter time N. ILL Ice fishing SLAB post.:biggrin
Been there, done that for enough years. I no longer have a desire for fishing on the hard water. The one thing I will miss about ice fishing is the use of an underwater camera on the still ice, and clear undisturbed waters, watching the fish go by, trying to entice the bite!Quote:
