How do they keep their jobs?!

    The weather forcasters that is. If I was wrong most of the time I'd get fired or worse...sued. If they're close, they're doing pretty good.



    It wasn't "supposed" to start snowing until tonight. With that in mind I took the car to work today. Now...1.5" in about two hours with more on the way. I'm going to have to chain up to get home. 😈

    A better question would be...How many times does somebody have to be wrong before you STOP LISTENING TO THEM???

    Sounds like an AWD vehicle might be a good choice up there.

    Real men chain up! 😂



    Hindsight is 20/20. If I'd known we were going to move up here when we bought the car I'd have chosen differently. 😀 We're rolling around getting something for Kelly. It will be a girl car like a Subaru or Highlander. I just need to take John's advice, stop listening and start driving the 4Runner.

    Don't think of it as having to chain up to get home. Instead of your normal commute, it's now a snow run.

    We could make it a Posse run. Alex in the hybrid, John in the Subaru, and me in our CR-V. 😂

    I made it home. We got about 6" at the house. I had to chain up in the parking lot at work which I'm sure will be good for some harrassment at some future date. Kelly paid someone to chain her up. I should just add the $30 onto a car payment and get something with AWD. 😀

    I've heard lots of weather people have given up on predictions this week. Nice and clear today!



    They say more low snow tomorrow AM. Don't they make an AWD Matrix? 😎

    I saw Grass Valley on the news. That was a good bit of snow for that area. I bet you'll be driving the 4-Runner for the rest of the week. Putting on chains sux.

    The 4Runner is a go for sure! 😂 I actually have a pair of the Les Schwab chains. They're really easy to use. Slide them behind the tire, pull them over, clip them together, pull the tensioner, and you're good to go.

    That does sound very easy. Are they actually chains or are the cables?

    They're actual chain chains. I can't remember how much they cost, but it was a fair amount more than the cables.
