Winter fun!

Anyone else out enjoying the blizzard? I hear a few township plows are stuck but I'm having 0 issues.

Looks like you're getting hit harder than me. We've got maybe 18-20". Not too bad really, but people sure are freaking the f@ck out over it.

I played that game once and needed a push out of like less than 1" of snow. This is why I also have a lifted Jeep.

My winter fun was turning one of my POS HVLP paint sprayers into a handheld flame thrower to help deal with all this white ********
