Default You know it is really winter when!!!!

IT's really winter when you have you old fords tucked away safe, and your outside snowblowing 10" of snow and you have just launched a frozen dog TURD about 15 feet out of you blower......

You know it is really winter when it is too cold to work in the shop and you have lots of spare time..

Ours prefer to be between floors.
We hardly ever had them around as kids.
Also the Ladybugs have moved in for the winter.

I to launched a frozen dog turd or turds today. I used my blower more this week than I did all last year. I live in one of the snowiest cities in the US, Syracuse, NY. I had some issues with my 2006 F150, thought it was a battery, but now I think it's a fuel issue. Hope to get it fixed soon. I had to get towed by one of the guys in my F.D., he drives a Dodge. I said this is going to be a funny picture on the internet!
Happy Winter...
Jeff

You know it is winter when:
To have a better understanding of GRAVITY / One moment you are standing looking at the snow covered 53 Mainline then next you are on you BOOM BOOM

Been there done that ::::::::

We've had the wettest year since records began, probably started by the Romans,...it never seems to stop raining...snow would be a change for us...it's not cold but it sure is damp.A workmates of mine is married to a woman from Pheonix AZ,who is used to yearround sunshine.....it is driving her insane and they are moving to China in June, she is a teacher and has found a job over there .

Yeah, we're suffering down here in Dixie too. Got down to 34º last night!! Will get the leaf blower out this morning and try launching half-frozen dog turds at the squirrels.

Had a white Christmas but it's all gone except up in the Olympics and Cascades. Ski areas are booming. We'll end the year @ right on 50 inches of rain. 2012 was a pretty soggy one...
