  LOL-Going cross-eyed trying to figure out where it's parked. The stop sign is a good hint but looks awfully close to a driveway. Is it parked on the street?

  Heh-heh! Believe-it-or-not, it's IN my short driveway just below the window from which the pic was taken. Might be easier to find if you click on the pic to make it bigger. And I should've mentioned... it's a pickup.

  The stop-sign at the bottom of my drive is for traffic coming down the road from the left.

  I've not been able to clear-off the snow because of my arm/shoulder problems (despite trying once). It's been buried for almost a week!   : O

  LMAO-I see it now and know why I couldn't to begin with-it's backed in with the nose so close to the street the snowplow's going to rearrange it! Look for a new garage door, too.

  Heh-I want to see the disability claim just for the look on the judge's face when you explain your shoulder problem came from having it support the forearm that laid next to the mouse pad for hours on end golfing. LOL-honest, judge. :-D

  Yes. A Very short driveway it is. There's about 10ft in front of truck before the road, though... with a wall of "plow-ice" about 5 feet high. Gonna be a trick getting it cleared... LOL. It's my left arm that's geeked-up. Can't rest it in front of me... gotta keep it moving or it begins to hurt worse... and I have to do stretching exercises from hell to try to release the adhesions built-up from not using it for over a year after the injury, and having it in a sling for a month after surgery. I wouldn't wish this condition on my worst enemy. It sucks, but thank goodness for WGT! Otherwise I'd have "brain adhesions" to deal with. :) Hope everybody down South doesn't have too bad an experience with the snow they're getting. Wow! That much snow there has got to be a once-in-a-lifetime event!

  I'm sorry to hear about your injury and hope that in time you regain full movement

  I'm really not making fun of you here,  I can only picture you working the mouse playing this game, with your right hand,  while your left arm flails about.......... : /

  We only received about 5 inches here in southern central NY, so no big deal for us.

  Looks like you need to employ the neighborhood kids to dig out your pickup. Either that or just wait for the spring thaw

  The  travesty here is that absolute morons will point to this record snow as absolute proof that global warming is akin to the tooth fairy....

   

  (Inhof's inbred   - er...  brainwashed children.. cough cough.....)

   

  meanwhile.. they are going to have to haul in tons and tons of snow into Vancouver to even make the Olympics possible....

   

  What a hilarious world we live in.. I think I'll play some more golf... and drink more rum!

  um!

  Maybe so, but then there are the morons that can't seem to grasp the idea that our climate is continuously changing, with or without man's help.

  Absolutely, I agree with you there. Partisan politics and our partisan media have dumbed down the climate change debate into something that is more like a religious belief than something that is based on facts and observation.

  Honestly, I wish environmentalists would just drop the whole 'climate change' fight and get back to fighting pollution and egregious practices like  mountain top removal mining that the Bush administration allowed (not likely that  this administration does squat about it either) 

  It takes a certain capacity for abstract thought to realize that the net result of Global warming is the possible near annihilation of humankind by way of a second great ICE AGE. It's not about saving the earth. We couldn't destroy it even if we tried! It can destroy us though!

  Hey guys... I really like this thread.  I get to see what the other half of the country is going through while I make a tee time tomorrow (Crystal Springs, Burlingame).

  Could I ask nicely that you folks take your political/ecological/philosophical argument somewhere else?  I wouldn't want WGTNiv to have to come in an lock a thread about how much snow is in someone's driveway....

  Ok?  (and have more rum!  One for me!)

  Kthxbuhbye =)
